## Key points

- *Manhood* explores men’s pursuit of penis enlargement.
- Treatments cost $2,500 to $4,000 per visit.
- The film links demand to shame and social isolation.

## Summary

Daniel Lombroso’s documentary *Manhood* follows men seeking penis enlargement and examines how insecurity, shame and ideas about masculinity shape that demand. The film focuses on Dallas practitioner Bill Moore, who promotes a filler procedure as a route to greater girth, while raising questions about whether the business exploits men’s vulnerability.

The procedure does not increase length and costs between $2,500 and $4,000 per visit; Moore encourages repeat visits, with yearly treatments needed to maintain results. Lombroso estimates about 75 per cent of the men he encountered were straight, many of them conservative-leaning, though he resists reducing clients to one type. A specialist in the film cautions that cosmetic treatment cannot resolve deeper emotional distress.
