The Little Black Book for Girlz: A Book on Healthy Sexuality by St.Stephen’s Community House

This book addressed many issues and should be read by all young girls with questions. Especially at a time when talking about sex in a positive way and introducing sex and sexual relationships properly is so important. Sadly not many people, that I know of at least, get down to the bare bones of sex and sexual relationships with young girls and alot of these girls are left with no one but their peers to talk to about the issues they are stuggling with in their lives, both sexual and with relationships. Parents may not readily discuss their child's sex life in a positive light, or at all to their child, leaving the media and their peers to educate them (because lets be honest, they don't learn anything in school other than the basic biology, which won't help them physically or emotionally). How are the young girls of today supposed to know how to react to certain situations if they have no knowledge of possible ways to act. People were meant to have sex, there won't be any stopping of that, but we can provide our girls with the knowledge of safe sex and healthy relationships. In some other reviews I was reading, some people didn't like this book because it promoted homosexuality. Of course my usual response to this is welcome to the 2000's where we're attempting to stop hating people for sexual preference, but beyond social structure, the fact that homosexuality is mentioned in a book about sexuality doesn't mean that homosexuality is being forced upon the reader. What discussing homosexuality does is #1, includes homosexuals in the education process, because no one deserves to be abused, and #2 it (hopefully not for the first time) introduces homosexuality to those who are heterosexual and will perhaps allow them to not fear homosexuality, but embrace the people that are homosexuals, for there is no difference between hetero and homosexuals, except to whom they give their love.
