Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A wide variety of male specimens boldly go before the camera to discuss their relationship with their penises in filmmakers Thom Powers and Meema Spadola's honest and unguarded answer to the popular Vagina Monologues. Despite the fact that many accuse the XY-chromosome-carrying members of the species with doing most of their thinking with the penis, the fact remains that few men are willing to discuss the oft-nicknamed organ in a candid and straightforward manner. Powers and Spadola know how to get their penis-carrying subjects to open up in front of the cameras, though, and in a series of interviews designed to be both humorous and insightful, a variety of males from all walks of life discuss personal revelations related to puberty, sexuality, perception, and, as it may go without saying, size.
