The Penis Name Book: A Guide to Naming Man's Best Friend

by David Rosenthal, Saryn Chorney

Boy, oh, boy, it's a difficult decision when it comes to naming a guy's manhood. Does one go respectable with Peter O'Toole ? Or hip with the Big Lebowski ? Or choose one with a little more flavor, like Charleston Chew ? With so many possibilities, it could really drive a person nuts!

Lucky for those looking to nail down the perfect name for their (partner's) favorite body part, there's this book. It's a long, hard process coming up with an original name for a man's member, so this book doesn't beat around the bush. It pulls together 500 options, sizes them up, and helps you get down to business and choose the perfect fit.

At the end of the naming process, you will think your choice is a stroke of genius--and be relieved you're not just calling it Harry or Dick.

This book is absolutely hilarious and a perfect bachelorette party gift. It's not meant to be serious -- obviously -- but the writing is really funny and filled with silly puns. I got it and read it over cocktails with friends and a bridal shower and we were all rolling. Really, just a fun book.

I loathe the term "baby-maker" beyond all reason.

I just came across this book after a friend mentioned he was reading it. I immediately checked it out and couldn't put it down. It is hilarious, entertaining, and educational(?). Also, I now have a PhD. If you ever need help finding the perfect name for your little friend, I can now help you using the formula provided. (Ha, ha)

The Penis Name Book is just that, a book full of names for penises everywhere. Names include: Beettlejuice, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Spock, Pinocchio, and my personal favorite, Rumpelstilskin (aka Rumpleforeskin).

Rosenthal provides you with a short history on penis naming, a "play-by-play on penises throughout time," and noticeable penises in history. (This contains stuff on religion; so, if you're triggered real quick, you can skip this part. Though, I think it is safe to say that this was written for comedial purposes.) The book contains names from comics & cartoons, athletes, landmarks, food-inspired, television & cinematic, superheros and many more. It even includes a couple of penis jokes.

This is definitely a book I would recommend to anybody! This has definitely helped me choose the perfect name and I can already feel the change in my life!

How did this get so many 5-star ratings? This book was painfully bad... I'm pretty sure it took them less time to write it than in took me to read it. I went in with low expectations (it is, after all, a book of dick jokes) and it still managed to disappoint. There were so many opportunities for wit, and they managed to pass them all by. And there were a ton of editing issues. Also, the rating system was arbitrary and stupid. And seriously, how could you mistake a trans-am for a corvette? I could see how there could conceivably be a person who doesn't know the difference, but wouldn't they... I dunno, take 5 seconds to google it before publishing it in a damn book? Even dick jokes deserve better than this lazy writing.

Anyone curious to the names?
