A Great and WONDERFUL Adult Documentary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great applause and cheers to HBO and the creators of PRIVATE DICKS. This very personal documentary talks about the feelings, physicality and often hidden stories that surround a man's private sexual parts. As a man, I found this refreshing, informative, funny and honestly human. Too often, sexuality is hidden away as if it were some dark and evil secret. I don't understand why some people get offended at such things or say it is a shame that children might see this. We are all one gender or another, and I hope this movie allows people to shake off the VERY, VERY, VERY DESTRUCTIVE and harmful ways of making sexuality into something bad, dark and quite terrible. This is why this film is like A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! This show is made with the most candid, down to earth and honest film-making I have seen in many years. I HIGHLY recommend this to adult men and women alike who are even a little curious how men think and how they perceive themselves.
