Manhood: The Bare Reality

Product Information

It’s very intersesting to read about the lives and “livelihood” of various types men, and see how they view their masculinity. The same themes run through everything I do: my work is an exploration of people, our loves, our lives and our place in the world. These themes mainly revolved around the differences between “traditional manhood” and “transformational manhood” – not terms used in the book, but I like alliteration so that’s what we’re going with.

Just as Bare Reality: 100 women, their breasts, their stories presented the un-airbrushed truth about breasts for women, Manhood: The Bare Reality shows us the spectrum of 'normal', revealing men's penises and bodies in all their diversity and glory, dispelling body image anxiety and myths. If you are a man, all of it will make you realise that no matter how you feel about your body, and what it is to be a man, that you are not alone.

We need to talk more – not about sports and women and stereotypical “guy things,” but about what really drives us as people.

The bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between: this is the fifth volume of the Heartstopper series. As this is a driving force and predominant theme behind the mission of ABSOT, these lines aren’t new information. In this edition, penises took the stage as men shared their stories of what manhood meant to them (including Band of Ballers alumni Matt Wakefield). The MENtion It survey from the Cleveland Clinic has consistently shown over the past three years that men just choose not to open up about their health. Some is very depressing and makes me wonder about the consicencses of pushing masculinity on boys and men.Here are a variety of ways to talk about men’s health in a natural manner, ranging from using current events to witty remarks to simply grabbing the conversation by the ball and being blunt about this crucial topic.
