Great inclusive thoughtful information
This is an excellent book. Are there cartoons of people in bed? Yes. Are they pornographic? Not at all. This book has a lot of sense information and is very thorough. It says age 10+ but I would be comfortable giving this book to my seven year old. There is nothing in this book that we have not had a conversation about already from masturbation to gender to sexual abuse. I don't think he would have an issue with any of the topics, however it is a LOT of info with small type and that is the one reason I could see that this may be hard for a kid under 10 to digest. We will be using this book as a follow up to conversations we have and he can browse it on his own when he is ready and at his own pace.

Perfect book
Bought this for my ten year old son and also for me I guess, to have an anchor for discussions around puberty, sex, and gender. I wish I had this book when I was a kid. Instead we had this bizarre book called How Babies Are Made from the 60s which was both terrifying and hilarious. It didn’t really explain much though. I highly recommend this one to everyone - it covers so much - things I wouldn’t have even thought of but are essential for kids going through puberty or their adolescence.

LGBTQ propaganda.
The book contains LGBTQ indoctrination on almost every page.

Valuable, Unbiased, Informative, No Judgment, Factual
This book is fantastic. I love how informative and matter of fact the material is. Theres no bias or judgment, just this is how it is. My only thing is that my son is only 11 and I am hoping to ease him into the information. There is sooo much to cover and this book does a great job of doing so, but I would like to see the subject matter rearranged. Jumping into intercourse before even explaining puberty and body changes makes no sense to me. I need him to understand the changes to his body and what he is experiencing before we tackle sharing his body with someone else. Im still trying to figure out how to present this material to him in my preferred order but I think as he develops, this book will be a valuable resource.

informative book updated with the times
purchased this book for my 10 year old boy who is growing up. rather than relying on hearsay and fake online information, a good hard copy book would be better. as a parent we can read it together and answer our child’s questions.
