But this wry and penetrating book reveals that in fact nature did not shape the penis--or the human attached to it--to have the upper...hand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhallacy\u003c\/i\u003e looks closely at some of nature's more remarkable examples of penises and the many lessons to learn from them. In tracing how we ended up positioning our nondescript penis as a pulsing, awe-inspiring shaft of all masculinity and human dominance, \u003ci\u003ePhallacy\u003c\/i\u003e also shows what can we do to put that penis back where it belongs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmphasizing our human capacities for impulse control, \u003ci\u003ePhallacy\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately challenges the toxic message that the penis makes the man and the man can't control himself. With instructive illustrations of unusual genitalia and tales of animal mating rituals that will make you particularly happy you are not a bedbug, \u003ci\u003ePhallacy\u003c\/i\u003e shows where humans fit on the continuum from fun to fatal phalli and why the human penis is an implement for intimacy, not intimidation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Willingham\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist and science writer who earned a PhD in biology and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in urology, both after taking a bachelor's degree in English literature.
