have gone through the same thing. It taught me how to handle some of my feelings of insecurity and face mistakes that I have made in the past. Chapter 32, “Techno’Breasts & Weenie Angst” talks about how people don’t like their bodies because something is too small or too big. It was interesting to see how many men value the size of their penises and the length they will go to obtain bigger ones. It is also true in women who want breast implants or breast reductions. I also connected with this chapter because I have dated people who are insecure with their bodies. My ex-girlfriend seriously contemplated getting a breast reduction. This chapter talks about procedures to do such alterations, and how safe or effective they are. In most cases the surgery is somewhat dangerous and unnecessary.Another interesting section of the book was dedicated to self-help. “Dyslexia of the Penis – Improving Your Sexual Hang Time,” concerns premature ejaculation. If I had only known about this in high school!! Seriously, I never knew there were so many techniques on increasing the time before ejaculation. I learned that most people try to think about something to distract them from sex to prolong their hang time. This turns out to be the wrong thing to do. Instead the person should focus on the sensations they are feeling and get to know their body better.One section that I have mixed feelings about is “Explaining Sex to Kids.” It supports a very open and honest approach to talking to kids about sexuality starting from a very early age. This is a taboo topic to most parents, and I believe that there should be more disclosure of the subject from parents to kids. But this text takes a more extreme stance, but also makes some very important points. It encourages children to touch themselves, and for parents to tell them that it is ok to do so. This promotes a healthy respect for sexualit...
