God's Doodle - Tom Hickman

. .

Résumé :
Do women find it, in erect state, inherently ridiculous? Why can't a man be certain his penis will stand and deliver when he commands? If and when it steadfastly refuses, what can he do to remedy the situation? This book examines schizophrenic relationship between man and this madman - and joint relationship this odd couple has with female sex.

Tom Hickman tells the story of [the penis'] ups and downs with enthusiasm and a mostly straight face in God's Doodle, a biography of what the dust jacket calls man's most precious ornament. Mr Hickman goes, like so many men have gone before, where the penis takes him, and in the process answers a number of questions. Did Shylock want to castrate Antonio in The Merchant of Venice? Possibly. Is ingesting semen harmful? Quite the opposite. Mr Hickman claims it could protect against breast cancer. Where does Viagra get its name? Through the fusion of virility and Niagara, as in the falls. God's Doodle is a seminal work.
