["Winged Wolf" <winged@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The book was written by Dr. Ruth Westheimer... and it explains all of these
things, and many more.  I did buy it, just cuz I thought it would be helpful
to those of my friends who were confused about things, and read it through
twice.  (Once to ensure it was intelligently written, and the second time
because I learned so many things the first time reading it that I wanted to
ensure that I got them all.)

VERY good book.  I'd recommend it even to those who think they know
everything there is to know about sex.
