Girth is the word is trailer for Manhood documentary

As one surgeon says, he can fill a penis with filler, but he can't fix a hole in a man's heart.

Girth is the word is trailer for Manhood documentary

In an era of looksmaxxing, bonesmashing, mogging, and other terms invented to try to talk about male beauty and vanity on the internet, it was only a matter of time before the conversation turned to penises. Of course, people have been talking about dicks forever, but the topic of making them bigger is getting the big screen treatment in the new documentary Manhood. The first trailer for the doc (which premiered at South By Southwest earlier this year) doesn’t just play the topic for laughs, but teases some of the psychological underpinnings that might make someone seek penis enlargement treatment. At least one of these men seems to be here after a previous, botched procedure, which left him with what “looked like the penis of an alien.” 

Manhood comes from director Daniel Lombroso, who spent two years researching and filming in so-called male enhancement clinics to create the film. In a press statement, he says, “The manosphere and its brand of toxic masculinity is taking over America, from social media to the White House. I wanted to explore the tremendous well of male shame and insecurity it all comes from.” The film opens at the  Laemmle NoHo in Los Angeles on October 28 and the Village East by Angelika in New York on October 30 before expanding nationally the following week. It comes to VOD on November 17.
