These days we are all less bound by gender and traditional roles, but is there more confusion about what being a man means? From veteran to vicar, from porn addict to prostate cancer survivor, men from all walks of life share honest reflections about their bodies, sexuality, relationships, fatherhood, work and health in this pioneering and unique book. 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. Sensitive and compassionate, Manhood will surprise you and reassure you. It may even make you reconsider what you think you know about men, their bodies and masculinity. Review: Incredible book, beautifully written. - I love this book for so many different reasons. For starters I was very sheltered growing up and men absolutely elude me. It’s very intersesting to read about the lives and “livelihood” of various types men, and see how they view their masculinity. Secondly, the presentation is amazing. You get vauge information about the men from their genitalia (it’s a penis, it won’t tell you much) but I was led to draw conclusions, that is until I read the text and was able to disconnect from the image and the person. It’s very refreshing to read in such a way, because instead of knowing who this person is, they will tell you. Some is very depressing and makes me wonder about the consicencses of pushing masculinity on boys and men. Some is exciting and some is very insightful. I’m positive not all men think just like this book, but these 100 men are leading a path to discussing real issues and real thoughts. All in all, I think it’s a good read for anyone who is curious about other people, curious about men, or want to explore journalistic writing styles. Very good read, and I look foreword to finding more books like this. Review: Heard about this on the radio - very informative - I heard about this on talk radio and the book isn't what it looks like. It is really different male perspectives and it is good reading for women to know what different men think about their bodies. The radio show said this would be great for every teenage boy so they know they are not the only ones with those same thoughts. Very well written individual stories of males mostly in England. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #377,763 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #405 in Erotic Photography (Books) #425 in Erotic Photography (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![Manhood: The Bare Reality - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wbrLl-EAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible book, beautifully written. *by I***N on November 19, 2018* I love this book for so many different reasons.

It is really different male perspectives and it is good reading for women to know what different men think about their bodies. The radio show said this would be great for every teenage boy so they know they are not the only ones with those same thoughts. Very well written individual stories of males mostly in England. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting book fills an important void *by E***Y on July 11, 2018* I saw this book in The Guardian and thought it would help me understand men better; as a cisgender heterosexual female, men really stump me a lot of the time. I am not aware of other books like this out there. Also plan to use it as a "display" for the values-based adult sexuality classes I facilitate. Essays are short, interesting. Pictures certainly add interest (who knew how many men shave their pubes?!) But I had to delete one star just because this is written and edited in the UK, and a lot of the slang is lost on me as a US reader. A glossary would have been a big help. Of course you can look terms up on the internet... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/159426808-manhood-the-bare-reality](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/159426808-manhood-the-bare-reality) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
