The Naked Man, like its successful companion title The Naked Woman, is written from a zoologist's perspective and packed full of scientific facts, engaging anecdotes and thought-provoking conclusions, including a controversial chapter examining male sexuality. Author Desmond Morris investigates this evolutionary success story, studying the whole male body, examining biology and anatomy and showing how bodily features have been modified by customs and fashions.
