Boys and sex Wardell Baxter Pomeroy Delacorte Press, 3rd rev. ed., New York, 1991 “Discusses the physical, emotional, and ethical aspects of sex including such topics as pre-adolescent sex play, masturbation, homosexuality, dating and petting, intercourse and its consequences, and other related topics.” BLURB FROM BOOK BACK COVER: Now in its third edition, Boys and Sex has been completely revised and updated while remaining a classic in its field. Nationally renowned author Dr. Wardell B. Pomeroy (co-author of the famous Kinsey Reports) speaks directly to boys and their parents about puberty and young manhood — those difficult and puzzling but challenging experiences. Dr. Pomeroy provides factual informa- tion to refute the myths that boys hear, and he does so in direct and simple language that is warm and comforting, enlightening and informative , and always totally honest His goal is to guide and instruct boys in such a way as to eliminate the fear and shame that are so harmful to their future sexual adjustment. This book does not advocate permissiveness, nor does it moralize or condemn. Instead, it stresses the responsibilities that come with sexual maturity. The latest information on sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, and birth control is included. An important section provides answers to those questions that boys ask most often about sex: a quick reference source. An up-to-date bibliog- raphy and complete index round out the volume. In presenting sex to adolescents as the normal, natural drive that it is, this book can help boys grow up happy and healthy. -------------------------------------- This edition was published at the height of the AIDS panic, so contains a lot of information that can frighten boys and may seem "over the top" today (but not so at the time). I can't find the earlier editions -- maybe better without the AIDS histrionics. If you know any boys, this may be nice to have around to help answer questions they may have. What do you think? M.
