Obsession: A Study of Male Body Obsession in the USA (Paperback, New)

Millions of men in the United States have a secret obsession: they are preoccupied with the appearance of their bodies. They are worried that their body is inadequate; their skin scarred, genitals too small or their torso insufficiently muscular.

In this new study, David Metcalfe takes a look at the causes and consequences of the male body image phenomenon that is sweeping across the developed world.
