Book Reviews of The Big Penis Book
Book Review: Old Pictures
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought this book would be more current, but I was disappointed to learn that the images included in this less than comprehensive collection of cock, are all from the 70s and 80s mostly. I think there was one decent looking guy in the whole book. Not that this book is marketed as a collection of attractive men, but it is an artistic disaster, because it is an expensive display of old porn, porn that is very dated, and distasteful. The approach the editor took when tackling this project seems incomplete. I would have enjoyed it more if there were also pictures of men from this century; maybe then, we could have seen some sort of logical progression from the early days of gay erotic photography.Book Review: Great Book....with an issue
Summary: 3 Stars
I think this is a very cool book celebrating the endowments of male stars of the 60's and 70's ( Everything from Bob Mizer's Athletic Models Guild to COLT to Falcon to Old Reliable). But be warned, I received two copies that both suffered from the same badly wrinkled/melted dustjacket. It was very disappointing,Book Review: Overpriced but amusing
Summary: 2 Stars
As a gay man, yes, I have a penis fascination. And having come of age in the 70s-80s, I'm familiar with the studios that provided most of these pictures. But after having my porn-nostalgia moment and looking and page-after-page of phalluses - most attached to unattractive men - I came to find this book more funny than erotic. The poses and the photographic settings of these pictures are really quaint by today's standards, or just downright scary and creepy, if you think about it. It's an amusing archive of gay porn from the 30s to the 80s.
The book itself is way overpriced for what it is. The editorial content is superfluous, and sometimes inaccurate. And the mylar cover was damaged in shipping as well. Wait for this book to go on discount.
Book Review: Is bigger better?
Summary: 2 Stars
"The Big Penis Book" is a coffee table book about men's #1 tool. This book is aimed mainly at straight women and gay men. There are plenty of hunky,nude men--but it ends up falling flaccid. The male member of the male members ends up looking grotesque, like an anteater's snout. It ends up being a probiscus. Like any pr0n, it's supposed to be about a temporary rush, a brief high of getting turned on. That's the downer.
While I like the sight of a shirtless man, I don't see baring all as necessary (granted,there are masterpieces like Michaelangelo's David or Giambologna's Mercury) In a sex-saturated culture, it goes over-the-top. Do we need to see everything? Not necessarily.
