‘THE PENIS GALLERY’

^26th Feb at The Book Club

Unofficially dubbed ‘The Night of a Thousand Cocks’, this is an exhibition of men’s penises, aiming to raise serious points about men and the relationships with their own bodies. It comes at a time when sexual dysfunction is on the rise amongst young men, and surgical procedures like penis fillers are increasing – young men educated in sex through porn have a distorted view of what a male body should look like (and a woman’s, for that matter).

This exhibition is a retort to porn culture – no erections, flaccid penises only! – and deals with perennial locker room anxieties men still experience.

Oh, and we need YOUR penis to take part. Follow our updates on Instagram to find out more…

Panel guests to be announced shortly.
