Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-12 00:00:00 Brenda Strawser This is a terrible health book. It is designed only to make the reader feel bad about themselves and it does nothing but reinforce cultural beauty norms and ideas on race/class/gender/sex/sexuality/mental health on and on. It's also just factually incorrect in many areas. Maybe the biggest flaw with the book is that most of it is "these things are bad. Don't do it" Very rarely does it talk to you about proper ways to change the behaviors it deems poor. It doesn't provide options for many things. It's such a bad and broken book. It also does this thing where it shows pictures of really troubling things (self mutilation, domestic violence, sexual assault) and it does them in bad history channel reenactment ways. Some of the models are even smiling in these scenes. It's a fucking joke. The book needs taken off the market.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-11-25 00:00:00 Andrew Dobos Whew! As much as I enjoy reading about human sexual anatomy, infectious diseases, illicit drug use and abortion options, I'm stoked to be finished with this book and my first quarter of school:)
