And you thought sex sells! What that really means is that sexual images sell other stuff. But try to sell a frank discussion of sexuality? When this book came out, we were astonished at how hard it was to promote. Turns out those smarmy, drive-time shock jocks are scared to death of the real thing. If you can find the book (check the minuscule Sexuality section of your favorite bookstore, located somewhere under the back stairs; or else buy it online!), it makes an ideal gift for those 13- to 16-year-olds who think they know more than they really do.

HarperCollins, 200+ pages, paper.
