CANCELLED! PENIS: AN OWNER’S MANUAL - Sturla Pilskog

Unfortunately, Sturla Pilskog had to cancel his lecture, but the festival Tussen Preuts en Porno is still going on!
A lot of men worry about their penis. Is it big enough? What’s the deal with wet dreams? Do I come too soon? What if I don’t have (night-time) erections? Can mobile phone radiation make me sterile? When should I start worrying about my prostate? Over the course of his professional career, Norwegian urologist Sturla Pilskog has been confronted with these and similar questions. In his book, Penis: An Owner’s Manual, he offers reassurance: all these concerns are normal, and even if you’re a little bit different, that’s also normal. Still, it’s important to know the myths and truths about man’s most important tool. In this lecture, Pilskog will explain how it’s hanging, and when (and when not) to worry. Come learn about spined shafts, phantom penises, and Napoleon’s shrivelled eel. Afterwards, Sturla Pilskog will be interviewed by Karen Hollewand and of course, there will be plenty of time for (medical) questions.

Sturla Pilskog is a trained specialist in urology at Haukeland University Hospital, and works as a senior consultant at Bærum Hospital in Norway. He previously worked as an answer doctor for Klara-klok.no (now Ung.no), a free service where young people submit medical questions. He was affiliated with Lommelegen.no, and in 2020 he published his book, Penis: An Owner’s Manual. 

Karen Hollewand is lecturer and postdoc at the University of Groningen. She works on the history of sexuality, gender, and the body, in the period between 1650 and today. Currently, she is developing a research project on the University of Groningen’s historical obstetrical and gynaecological collection, in line with her work on the history of the female body.
