Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s campaign guru Morris Katz wanted to feature his penis in a \u201cpuberty book\u201d for \u201ccurious boys\u201d as young as 10-years-old, but decided against it at the behest of his publisher.<\/p>\n

Katz, 27, who is now reportedly working with horny oyster farmer and Maine US Senate candidate Graham Platner, made the startling admission in a footnote in his 2020 book \u201cEverything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty\u2015and Shouldn\u2019t Be Googling: For Curious Boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 112-page volume, which Amazon\u2019s listing says is aimed at boys age 10-12, is an illustrated guide to male puberty, covering universal concerns about the changes youngsters experience during adolescence such as body hair, acne and an increase in sexual thoughts.<\/p>\n

It features sections titled \u201cYour New Penis\u201d and \u201cThe Magic of Masturbation.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the book features an eyebrow-raising footnote on page 17 \u2014 which colorfully illustrates the effect of puberty hormones on male genitalia between the ages of 11 and 14 using oranges, snakes and butterflies as examples \u2014 indicating Katz once had a very different idea for the spread.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, we were going to use images of my penis to get this point across but the publisher said it was inappropriate so here we are, with some fruit and animal metaphors,\u201d Katz wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs your penis actually going to become an animal or fruit? No. Probably not. What will happen during puberty is your penis will develop and transform. You guys are smart though, you get the point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another section of the book, about sexual feelings, includes a passage on \u201csexuality\u201d where Katz writes about the awkwardness of having a crush on \u201csomeone a lot older than you\u201d or even \u201con someone who\u2019s not really thinking sexual thoughts yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same chapter introduces the concept of transgender identity to children, noting, \u201cthe sexual organs you are assigned at birth determine your gender at birth. If you were born with a penis, you are considered a boy, and if you\u2019re born with a vagina, you\u2019re considered a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut not everybody feels at home in their body or identifies with the gender they are assigned at birth,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n

After helping Mamdani get elected, Katz has set his sights on advising far-left Democrat Platner in his bid to unseat veteran Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins.<\/p>\n

Platner has faced a crescendo of embarrassing sexually-tinged allegations of his own, his campaign admitting he exchanged steamy text messages with six women since he married his wife Amy Gertner in 2023.<\/p>\n

He was also found to have a profile on notorious hookup app Kik, complete with a profile pic of him wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The revelations about Platner\u2019s infidelity came to light thanks to former campaign staffer Genevieve McDonald, whom Katz has been accused of coercing to lie about the scandal.<\/p>\n
