Just the right book I wanted for my sons. It covers all the bases but in an appropriate manner. A great starter for future talks with our teen and preteens. I read it first, and now I'm having my oldest son read it. So glad someone recommended this to us!

Aside from atrocious editing, the book was quite helpful as a discussion starter for the father/son "birds and the bees" trip.
