This is NOT a school text, this is the stuff they DON'T teach in school. Every girl should read it. It's not mother's chat about the ""monthly visitor"" and tampons, it is about real sex, boys, and girls, men and women, pictures and diagrams, sexually transmitted diseases (STD's), and orgams, and more orgasms, and better orgasms, and how to teach your sex partner to help you have them. Mothers should be buying this book for their daughters, teens and even pre-teens. The author has extensive experience with young people and especially with parents in denial about their children's sexuality and sexual activity. Some of those parents have sought out the author to apologize when they discovered how ignorant they had been about what was really going on. Even some parents who thought they were being open about sex with their daughters found that the kids did not know enough to prevent a repeat of their own pattern of teen pregnancy & single parenthood. I guarantee your daughter will want one for her daughter.
