I liked the text about boundaries being crossed printed in red color.
Other than that, I think reading this book s enough. So far I knew everything. Maybe one or two itty bitty facts I did not know. But I think I've had enough of it and the next topics are mostly about relationships, something I don't really need to know and don't want to know.

"Das erste Mal": Informative, direct and open.
I liked that they illustrated illegal sex and sex age in one chart for my retarded country (page 35). I could stay and repeat "if only" but that would do no good.
Instead, I try to keep my mind open, for "sex" is a physiological need. I can't promise myself I get it, but I want to try because I want to live a normal life.

I feel the most jealous right now, jealous of being raised in west, in a healthy environment and being comfortable with all this stuff and knowledge which is scientifically proved.

I literally chocked on my saliva while laughing and crying. Laughing wasn't intentional. It was the nervous laughter. And crying was the real reaction. Both to the fact how behind we are. "We", who were raised behind closed doors, in complete isolation from outside world and from our own body. We, who never knew how important it is to connect with our body, to touch it and to feel comfortable living in it!

An important book I intend to read on holidays, but couldn't help and took a look at the Einleitung :)
