This book is honestly amazing. It adresses pretty much everything about sexuality and, this, in a way that is easy to understand. So everything you want to know about sexuality, you?ll find that in that book and easily too. The book is entitled S-E-X, but it?s so much more than just that, in fact, it covers a lot of other subjects that goes from body image to relationships.

The way it?s written, nothing seems too taboo of a subject, it?s written in a honest and sometimes also humoristic way that makes reading anything but long and boring.

Another thing that is cool about this book is that it talks to everyone out there : not just the heterosexual folks, not just the girls, not just the sexually active ones but everyone. So everyone can find themselves included while reading the book which makes it even more special and valuable given it?s not everywhere we can find books like that nowadays.

Really, I think it?s a book everyone, no matter who they are, no matter their gender or their orientation, should have by all means by their bedside.
