Rating:  Summary: What a shame Review: There's a lot of good stuff in this book -- what a shame that it is so totally inappropriate for a teenage boy. For example, there's a bold-face section titled "Masturbating with Friends." Here we're told that "Some guys masturbate in groups; others wouldn't even consider it." Then there's the "Heads Up!" graphic that says, "If you're thinking of piercing your penis, here are a few things to remember. . . " There's another section that starts with a factual explanation about what it means for a person to be straight, gay, lesbian, or bi. The facts are well presented, but then we get the editorial comment that "all are natural ways of being" and that homosexuality, in particular, "is a natural expression of human sexuality" and a "normal variation of human sexuality." Elsewhere, we're told "you might be surprised by sexual feelings towards your relatives of either sex." About the only thing the author does not seem to think of as "natural" is the "objectification" of women in a Playboy or Penthouse magazine. There she advises boys to stay away and asks: "Why have a bunch of potenitally weird sexual images floating around in your head?" Funny, that was my response to her sections on group masturbation, genital piercing, and fantasies of gay incest. I had high hopes for this book, but I'm sending it back.

By contrast, the author does not like the "objectification" of women in a Playboy or Penthouse magazine. There she advises boys to stay away and asks: "Why have a bunch of potenitally weird sexual images floating around in your head?" Funny, that was my response to her section on group masturbation.

Rating:  Summary: A LIFESAVER FOR SINGLE MOMS Review: This book is a life saver for single moms. I have two boys and many of the questions they have asked are in this book. Until I read this book, I didn't understand that walking around with an erection most of the time was normal. The "Guy Book" has also taught me about the changes that have occurred and about the changes that are still to come. Thanks to the "Guy Book" I don't think I'll get caught off guard with some questions and changes my boys are yet to experience. I appreciate that the author thought about including girls and some of their changes. A must read for any single female parent and a great book for boys experiencing puberty.
