Product Description
From the first eye contact to the therapist's couch, from the throes of ecstasy to the nitty-gritty of safer sex, from the world's sexiest animal to the dating jungle, The Cartoon Guide to Sex covers everything you've always wanted to know about sex. Frank, informative, and written with Larry Gonick's characteristic comic verve and scientific accuracy, this book gives a comprehensive discussion of the spectrum of human sexuality, including sexual structures and functions, gender roles and sexual identity, sexual arousal and response, sexual communication, love, marriage and other arrangements, contraception, and sexual health -- without the fig leaves.

 Good Book May 29, 2008
This book is informative without being overly silly. I'm over 40 and I learned things in it about myself that I didn't know. As a mom, I also appreciate the fact that when my child is ready to know more about sex, this will be an interesting and informative resource to be consulted.
An excellent and informative title! March 22, 2008
Thought-provoking, educational, and very funny! All of Gonick's books are top-notch and this one is no exception. Gonick handles sensitive topics with humor and clarity, without dumbing down or trivializing the message. Truly a book that will teach you about things you might have been afraid to ask about! The parts regarding sexually transmited diseases and sex-crimes can be a bit rough, but Gonick's style disarms some of the tension here.
 More Classic Gonick March 15, 2008
If you like any of Gonick's other books, you will like this book. The book nicely handles a taboo topic with Larry Gonick's usual flair of solid information mixed with humor. Highly recommend.
Well-written, balanced...and funny. August 13, 2007

If you are skittish about delving into the mechanics of reproduction with a pre-teen or new teen (probably because they would rather talk about this with a parent even less than...well, any other thing in the freakin' universe), this is a perfect book to surreptitiously leave on a bookshelf. I bought it and had it in my bedroom to review before turning it over to my son. A couple of days later, I realized that it was missing, and found it hastily tossed beneath the bed -- so the Theory of Pubescent Auto-gravitation to Sex Information definitely works. However, this is a last resort. If you find it difficult to talk directly, the best alternative is really a balanced "abstinence PLUS full disclosure" seminar run by people the kids can talk to. My church offered one like this and I believe the kids respond much more positively to being treated with respect regarding serious subjects. This book has that same idea behind its surface goofiness.

I would recomend this book for every one. It is funny and entertaining enought to keep a person reading but it contains enough information to get something out of the book. The book has a rather small section (5-15 pages) on how to fix sexual problems, but the main focus on the book is more on explaining and listing human sexual nature.
