"A taboo-breaking guide to the male sexual and urinary system, raising awareness of anatomy, upkeep, and the emergencies that can occur throughout a lifetime.

When it comes to men and their medical health, age can lead to a distressing lack of discussion. Boyhood curiosity gives way to reticence in adult men, a discomfort in asking questions and sharing insecurities about their own bodies-especially when it comes to the penis. Though highly focused on in art, daily conversations, and even spam emails, the general public's knowledge of the form, function, and evolution of the penis is sorely lacking. This knowledge gap is the inspiration for Wikipenis. With this book, urologist Nicola Mondaini offers men and the women in their lives-mothers, grandmothers, girlfriends, and wives-a learning tool for the healthy and correct care of the male genital system.

Four chapters cover childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Readers can flip to relevant sections to learn about maintenance, diseases, and hazards related to each stage of development. A comprehensive and authoritative handbook, Wikipenis includes information on:

Penis structure and function

Circumcision and hygiene

Effects of smoking, drugs, alcohol consumption, and obesity

Sexually transmitted diseases

Erectile dysfunction

Prostate pathologies

Penile cancer

Gender dysphoria

Piercings

Testosterone

And more

Wikipenis

aims to establish a preventative culture from the start, to redesign the relationship between boys and this part of their body-a user's guide that men can consult whenever necessary for a happy and healthy life.

Reviews for Wikipenis: Dr. Nicola's Penis Book-Maintenance, Prevention, and Care

"""Despite the fact that 50% of the world's population possesses a penis, there remains a significant knowledge gap in how it is structured, how it works and how disease affects it. The penis is a window into a man's health and dysfunction of the penis may represent a harbinger of hidden illness and future comorbidities. Professor Mondaini writes with aplomb as an authority and presents a fascinating review of the penis from birth to death in a conversational style which will be readily readable to all. This book serves as a valuable addition to the world's literature on this important topic."" --John P. Mulhall, Director of Male Sexual and Reproductive Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center"
