Review	This book reminded me a lot of Fast Girls…but Slut! Was much less like an extended essay (Fast Girls had no bibliography and no notes). I would be more than happy to add this to my personal library…while I sent Fast Girls off to my paperback swap bookshelf. As anyone who has been around here a while knows, this continues to be a subject that interest me in oh so many ways. I’ve now got several other books to look for thanks to the notes from this one…lol! I’d recommend it, but would only rate it a B as it leaves me with a lot of questions like HOW do you start talking to your children about female sexuality and WHEN…I mean I personally think that sexual experimentation is normal for teenagers…but it’s not widely accepted, that double standard really is still out there, bigger than sit. So, how do you go about teaching your sons and daughters that their sexual feelings are normal without also making them feel like they can in now way explore those feelings without being perceived as “bad” by a majority of the adults and peers in their lives.
