Addressing young Africans' difficult questions about taboo subjects such as HIV and AIDS, premarital sex, and drug addiction, this guidebook provides a fascinating glimpse of contemporary African youth culture and the everyday collision of traditional values and the modern world. Organized in a question-and-answer style around letters of the alphabet, this work is based entirely on real questions asked by young Africans and yields many insights into the social and medical concerns of an entire generation. Five anatomical drawings convey essential facts about the human body and reproductive organs, and particular attention is paid to gender discrimination and the changing roles of women.

The ABC of all the questions we never dare to ask
Clear, concise writing... which is what we all love about the "Very Short Introduction" series. It also pointed me in some useful directions, especially about eugenics and the left.
However.
Although I found the section on sexual practices in Ancient Greece (and it gets a little conflated with Rome) interesting, as a scholar of Japan, I have a eye-roll reflex to the instant link between a very specific ancient world and the very general concept of "antiquity." The link can (and ought to be) argued, but it should not be assumed. The section "Sex in the Ancient World" leads one to believe that the "Ancient World" was only Ancient Greece. Sigh. And then there is an image (ignored by the text) on page 71 of "Japanese sex toys, 1830," embedded in the section on Second Wave feminist sex wars. Even a brief mention of other antiquities (and the issue of modernity / Westernization / sexology in non-Western contexts) would have made this much much more comprehensive.
