Studs, Tools and the Family Jewels: Metaphors Men Live By 1st edition
Peter F. Murphy
Looking at the sexual metaphors that are so pervasive in American culture, such as: ""jock""; ""tool""; ""shooting blanks""; and ""gang bang"", this work argues that men are trapped and damaged by language that constantly intertwines sexuality and friendship with images of war, machinery, sports and work.
