David, I think you would agree with my anti-catheter preference, especially given the length of catheters for dudes. To my untrained eye, they look to be five, six feet long, something that could lasso a horse or hogtie a pair of criminals. So, in an effort to cut the awkward tension during that eye-opening first cathing lesson I took last year, I opened my mouth to tell a raft of inappropriate male anatomy jokes that were flooding my brain at the time. But before I could speak, my pants were off, my member was out, my hands and privates were sterilized, and the lesson had begun, and you can read all about it. Chapter 5: Pit of Despair releases today along with a preview for Chapter 6. Below is the direct link to the home page of Sit Down Before Reading: A Memoir where all available chapters are displayed.

The official book cover for SDBR is finalized! It was designed and illustrated by up-and-coming artist Marigold Kitzmiller, an undergrad at the prestigious art school Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. A fellow artist reviewed her work and came away duly impressed.… “The mixed-case title font is suspenseful and looks like it betrays a secret, like a handwritten diary. The white text on the black background feels serious, and the warm orange seems to promise something positive in the end.” Positive, indeed. View the book cover in high-res.
