Reception

Kirkus Reviews wrote, "Cummings’ skills as a writer are apparent from the beginning. His prose is effortlessly clever, finding the entertaining medium between lyricism and sass. The frankness with which he discusses his problem, the treatment, and his sex life makes for an oddly shocking book—one rarely reads quite so much about penises, as central as they often are to literature. He manages to demystify and destigmatize Peyronie's, which though obscure is not completely uncommon. More than that, he makes the most of an undignified opportunity to examine his own masculinity."[1]

gollark: You can mostly rely on them to report somewhat accurate factual content, at least.
gollark: Personally, I mostly get my news and stuff from the BBC, and what random people say on the internet.
gollark: But you don't really notice generic, normal, mainstream political stuff as much as incredibly weird stuff.
