Simon Pegg was stunned when he realized what his penis could do. The "Hot Fuzz" actor admits his favorite book of all time was one his mother gave him when he was 12, which described the secrets of sex to him and taught him things about his appendage he didn't know.
"The book that changed me was 'The Facts of Love by Alex and Jane Comfort'. It was the children's version of 'The Joy of Sex' which my mum gave me when I was 12," he told NME magazine.
