A baker's dozen on
Human Sexuality

Sex education is the process of teaching someone about the basic functioning and safe operation of the human reproductive system. Most Westernized countries have pretty good Sex Ed, but the Bush administration doesn't, because he likes "abstinence programs" because they're more moral and stuff.

For a real sex education, consult a few or all of the following authors, all of whom have a great deal to say on the subject that doesn't call it dirty or pornify it:

Tracey Cox -- Author of Hot Sex and Hot Relationships.
Betty Dodson -- Author of Sex for One and promoter of masturbation, both solo and mutual.
Robie Harris and Michael Emberley -- Authors of a series of kid's books on sex and the body, including the wildly popular and controversial It's Perfectly Normal.
Nina Hartley -- Porn star and producer of sex instruction videos.
Anne Hooper -- Author of numerous glossy sex guides published by Dorling-Kindersley.
Paul Joannides -- Author of The Guide To Getting It On, an exhaustive doorstop of a book that should be required reading for anyone considering sexual activity.
