The Penis-Complex

A MAN´S BEST FRIEND     CULTURE-HISTORICAL/ PSYCHOLOGICAL VIEWS     BEST PIECE

There are a lot of rumours and myths about the penis, although a lot of Scientists and Psychologists already dealt with this special organ. One of the most famous perhaps might be Siegmund Freud, but was he wrong with the penis-envy? Gerhard Staguhn tries to create a comprehensive view on the “best piece” of a man, he also tries to drill down on the culture-historical, psychological and biological questions. The author tells us about that in a humorous way, not taking himself too serious he also writes about own awkward and funny experiences.
