![]() And surprise, it has an electronic double, complete with color illustrations, available on iBook for your Apple devices at only $9.99. The original guide is probably older than most of your college students, and this version is very grown up, but still suitable for everyone from teens on up. I have used it as a supplementary text and my students prefer reading it to the more formal, scientific text I use.The drawings (no photos) by Dærick Gröss, Sr. are beautiful, especially in the electronic edition in color. There are now 90 interesting chapters, everything from kissing to anal sex, from history to Barbie to Sex & God. It would be hard to find something not included, but if you do find something you want added, write Paul, and then read this one while waiting for the 8th edition.

Occasionally, I’d publish an article or write poetry for myself, and I felt fulfilled just doing that. ![]() I loved talking about writing though and I loved sharing books with young people, so I became an English teacher. It seemed like too grand a thing to want. What if I couldn’t pay bills as a writer and wasted the college education my family had sometimes gone hungry to afford? More than that, I was too embarrassed to openly claim my dream. I come from a working-class background and the idea of writing for a living felt impractical.
