Tonight during The Penis Monologues, a Penn State student will reveal an embarrassing experience, and it involves sex -- sex and urine.

"One monologue is about a guy -- after having sex he tries to pee but he can't control his penis so he's peeing all over this girl's bathroom and eventually pees on the girl," Outlaws Playwright's Workshop performer Ryan Howell said.

Howell (junior-theater design and technology) is one of 24 men -- theatre, musical theatre, and graduate actors -- who tell a story or talk about a funny episode men may have gone through with their penises in tonight's Penis Monologues, said Lauren Weinberg (senior-musical theatre), one of the show's directors.

"A guy wrote a script that's kind of mocking Vagina Monologues -- well it's more so a response to The Vagina Monologues," Weinberg said. "He put together a series of monologues performed by all men. It's all about sex, masturbation, peeing and all of the crude testosterone things guys talk about."

At the end of the show, each performer will make one last appearance clad in just his underwear. He will then tell the audience his favorite nickname he has heard for a penis and make different orgasm sounds, Weinberg said.

The Penis Monologues has always had two female directors. In the 1990s, Jason Cassidy (graduate-higher education administration) said he was asked to write a few funny penis-related monologues for the Outlaws Playwright Workshop.

"I wrote about 20 minutes worth of monologues," Cassidy said. "They were just funny stories I heard from guys talking about their penises and embarrassing sex stories -- that sort of thing."

Each year, new monologues are added to the show, and performers and directors put their own twists on ones from previous years, Cassidy said.

Howell is performing for the third year in a row. As an open person, he said he does not mind joking about penises in front of an audience.

"We talk about sexually explicit situations," Howell said.

He described one monologue that talks about the proper etiquette involved in oral sex, suggesting some women do not perform it correctly.

"The personalities the boys bring to the monologue and the show in general is so funny and entertaining that people will really enjoy themselves," Weinberg said. "It does get crude, but it's not crude on a personal level. It's like how farts are funny."

In contrast to its female-driven counterpart, Weinberg said the Penis Monologues uses a student script and lacks maturity.

"Vagina Monologues is done professionally," she said.

Even though the performance may not be as professional, it is not purposefully offensive, Cassidy said.

"There's dirty jokes, but it's never done just for the sake of shocking; there's always a reason behind it," Cassidy said. "If you like movies like Superbad or The 40-Year-Old Virgin, you'll be OK with this."

The monologues may attract men since they are made to be relatable, but the show is also set up to entertain women, Cassidy said.

Cassidy said the performance features things men worry about and their insecurities and fears in regard to their bodies and physicality.

"Girls tend to enjoy it because there's a lot of things in the show that stem from male insecurities," Cassidy said. "It's something men don't like to talk about in front of girls."
