  I first had the idea for this book while lying on my back with my underpants around my ankles and some sort of jelly substance smeared all over my testicles' Jim Pollard claims that this experience came completely free on the NHS. Amazingly enough, he's telling the truth. In fact, it was a perfectly routine procedure. But then he wouldn't have a clue about that, would he? He's a man. Men's lives are, on average, five years shorter than women's and they are far more likely to die prematurely. It's not just bad luck. Most men wish they knew more about their health but it's not easy to talk about and much of the info buzzing around in this shape-obsessed world of ours is irrelevant, incomprehensible or simply rubbish. There's a need for easy, accessible, honest information: a book for blokes who are too busy, too lazy or too scared to go to the doctors. So here it is, from exercise and sport to sex and drugs, from work and the environment to disease and death. Everything you want to know about the male body (but are too strong and silent to ask).
