(Trans)-Man's best friend

I'm transgender, and this product does a great job of helping me feel masculine. I really like having the option of peeing standing up. :) I have a clear one, and it's fairly discreet and fits easily in the pocket of most men's pants. I've used urinals with it a number of times, I haven't had the balls (no pun intended) to do so when other men are in the bathroom. Works just fine in the woods too, or wherever you need to use it.
Super easy to use, but if you angle it too far down or not down far enough, it may overflow. I also tend to have trouble with it overflowing near or during my period, and I'm not sure why.

While some stories "ramble" a bit,  if you love having female friends to kvetch with, laugh with, complain with, share your time with... this is great to keep near your bathroom for "longer trips," or in your favorite place, so you can pick it up anytime.

I have a few favorites, and I'm sure you will too, if you have not purchased it. While it sits on my shelf a lot, I know I'll find a piece I really like. "Post Humus," by Patti Tana is my favorite--and most reminds me of me.

Note: I find it best to read the piece first (especially if it's not a long one), and reread it again, slowly, to really enjoy the imagery. It's worth the gift to yourself. Women are amazing... so are many men, like my love of 36 yrs.

I really dislike the cover photo. It always reminds me of my deceased, stoic grandmother! The book deserves a better cover. We shouldn't have to look so suspicious, as this woman does.  Eewww....

Our beautiful golden retriever, Toby, died on New Year's Eve, 2011. He was 12 and a loyal companion throughout my son's childhood and into adulthood. Hearing my heartache during a phone call, my daughter insisted that I order this book on my kindle the instant our conversation was over. She promised it would help. Whatever one's belief regarding the afterlife, this book provides a unique perspective from man's best friend, and I found it very comforting. I often observed Toby's expressions, from his puppyhood onward, and I know a thought process was clearly working as evidenced by the pictures I have of him. On his deathbed, I held his head between my hands, talking gently to him, telling him how much we loved him and appreciated his unconditional love and devotion all his years. I told him he could go when he needed to, and he looked up at me with crystal clarity in his eyes, his expression one of such love and understanding, I will never forget it. A copy of this book is being sent to my son.

The Swiss Army knife has changes my boyfriend's life. He is at least twice as useful as he used to be. He is always handy for snipping strings or opening boxes now. I would say it has had a positive effect on our relationship too.

Lewis is one of the most humble human beings I have ever met! This book is a MUST read for ladies wanting to understand the inner-workings of the minds of the men in their lives. Boyfriends, husbands, fathers, brothers, friends! Amazing resource on how to support the men in my life! Will definitely benefit my relationships with family and relationships with a significant other in the future!

This is a gift for my best friend. I've received lots of compliments because of the Dr. Who t-shirts I own and I decided it's time for him to own his own Dr. Who t-shirt and also receive compliments from folks who see him wearing it!

I believe that this book should be on the required reading list for any young man who has discovered that he is gay, and probably also up near the top on any recommended reading list for the parents and other close relatives of that young person, unless they have had a lot of very close friendships with gay couples.

I am not gay, so I am writing this review from an outsider's perspective. But it seems to me that when a young man discovers that he is gay, one particular kind of fear could well be the most overwhelming of them all -- the fear of total isolation from the rest of the world. Heterosexual boys usually live in a world which is close to 50% filled with heterosexual girls, with whom they could explore friendships and intimate relationships until they found someone with whom they could at least in theory spend the rest of their lives. A young gay man faces a world in which there will always be only a very small percentage in his world, with whom he might potentially find a soul mate. And his parents may well fear for him even more, because their years of life experience have shown them the profound help that can be gotten from one's partner in a committed relationship.

Still to this date, although one can see individual examples on occasion of two men who have formed a successful and satisfying long-term gay relationship, and even though many states now allow gay couples to marry, nevertheless those examples can still be so comparatively few in number, that it can still be cause for that primal fear: must I (or my child or other close relative) be doomed to live out my life alone and unloved?

Tim Clausen has given us the firsthand stories of twenty-three gay couples who have been together for anywhere from eleven to sixty-five years, and has shown us at first hand how this kind of relationship can work, and why it works so well when it does. He is a marvelously sensitive writer, who allows all of these people to speak their own feelings and share their own experiences in their own voices. Tim is a devoted member of a twelve step group, and this helps, because this can give a person lots of practice in telling his or her own story honestly and faithfully, and even better, lots of practice in really listening to other people's stories, without criticizing or comparing, in a spirit of all-accepting love.

That is not easy to do. I have tried my hand at writing about other difficult areas of life, in a couple of books, for example, on the rise of the first Alcoholics Anonymous groups in the area where I live, just east of Chicago, and in the book which I am just now completing, on the first black people who braved incredible prejudice and a dismaying amount of rejection when they came into the A.A. movement during the 1940's, 50's, and early 60's in St. Louis, the Chicago area, Washington D.C., and Little Rock, Arkansas.

But Tim is one of that small handful of people who have the knack. He is an extremely good writer, and the stories he relates are beautifully told and full of things which a young gay man -- or for that matter, a large number of older gay men -- need to know, about how to have a truly fulfilling and happy life.

Chaz Bono is officially my new hero.  Reading the story of his life, from childhood growing up as the child of famous parents, the difficulties of coming out as gay, and finally the realization that he was a transgendered man, was truly inspiring.  Chaz bravely lays bare his emotions and his story, with honesty and humor.  It is a truly human story, that we can all relate to, whether, transgendered, gay, or straight.  Thanks for sharing your story Chaz.

This is one of the best books, and the best one on this subject, that I have ever read!  The insight that Ms. Brody has is absolutely remarkable.  I highly recommend this for all men.  Every man could benefit and learn from this, in his quest to be the best man he can possibly be!  What I particularly appreciate is that Karen Brody focuses on the man's full potential and growth as an end in itself, with better relationships with the woman in his life a resulting benefit.  A man should realize his full masculine potential as the Artist, Lover, Poet, and more (you'll have to read the book - it will be worth your while) for himself first, not to impress anyone else.  Ms. Brody focuses on authenticity.  This book will help men to relate better, and be more attractive to, women, but I am confident that it will first make you a better man, as it has me.  If I could give this book 10 stars instead of 5, I'd still try to give it 11.  David J. - St. Louis, MO

This is a very good book that can be used in all stages of a relationship by both men and women. It has some very good information that can be used to validate or inform a person of most aspects of a man's bodily functions. Both the emotional and physical responses that can either cause a healthy response or explain what may be causing a negative response in your relationship. For my husband and me we are using it to help us deal with him getting past problems that have occurred due to Low Testosterone levels and the E.D. that have followed after years of dealing with Low T. By him reading the book he has found that he is not the only man out there with a problem and that it is not something he has to deal with in silence. He also learned that worrying about fixing it or blaming himself for having a problem does far more harm that just dealing with it. The book has given him more confidence to approach the problem with his Dr. The only think I can say to you wives out there that have a husband that you love with a problem is read this book.  For years I questioned weightier the problem was with me, if I was doing something wrong. By reading this book it has shown me that it is not a problem that you have to deal with alone. That there is a reason for his problem and gives you the tools you need to LOVE your man through them. Love is the best cure there is for ED problems and a multitude of other problems, problems that can be just as devastation to your relationship. With this information and the reassurance that you still love him you can give him more than some medicines alone. But if you take on the assumption that you're the cause of his problem or if he tries to make it about you so he doesn't have to face his own problem or feel less of a man because he has a problem. Then you will start to destroy the life you so wanted when you first entered the relationship. Knowledge is the tool to most problems. So arm yourself with all the information there is out there and this book is one of the best tools you can find. [...]

I love this wallet. With so many men trying to hide their masculinity in 2018, this wallet will bring the man in you out. Be proud of who you are men.

As a young man myself, I find that this book is very useful as it covers a wide variety of

1) How a man carries himself

2) How a man treats others

3) Good life skills

I would recommend this to all my other manly friends.
