Our Bodies, Ourselves is the best, most comprehensive book on human sexuality.

The original edition of this book was given to me by a mother whose kids I used to babysit when I was a teenager. I'll always be thankful to her.

It's available FREE at your library and also online as a pdf.

Highly recommended. Especially with all the ridiculous book bans going on. (

Our Bodies, Ourselves for the New Century reflects the vital health concerns of women of diverse ages, ethnic and racial backgrounds, and sexual orientations. In these pages, women will find new information, resources (including web-sites), and personal support for the decisions that will shape their health - and their lives - from living a healthy life, to relationships and sexuality, to child-bearing, growing older, dealing with the medical system, and organizing for change.
