Go Fuck Yourself

“I originally wanted to call my book Go Fuck Yourself, but figured the publishing world might not appreciate the humor—or the boldness,” laughs Eric Sprankle, PhD, author of DIY: The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation. Sprankle, a professor of clinical psychology and co-director of the sexuality studies program at Minnesota State University in Mankato, recently shared insights from his book on the Smart Sex, Smart Love podcast. In his engaging and enlightening discussion, he delves into the rich and often bizarre history of self-pleasure, while dismantling persistent myths about masturbation that have lingered for centuries. Sprankle’s work not only educates but also empowers readers to embrace self-love without shame—a message that resonates perfectly with the spirit of the HaPenis Project. – Dr Eric Sprankle
