  It´s hard to find a book with quality, accessible to all the public and talking about all the themes around sexuality. Et voilà, Shar Rednour and Carol Queen have done it!
  The book can answer any question you have made yourself –ever- about human sexuality, very inclusive, and based in sex positive.
  Never mind your sexual orientation or interests, “The Sex & Pleasure Book” has something for you, with an easy reading and nice illustrations that will leave no doubt left to answer.
  I recommend it 100%

  My fav quotes (not a review):
  
  “The point is that lovemaking opens up carefully guarded vulnerabilities. Indeed, the very joy of lovemaking comes from allowing frozen feelings and sensations to melt into volcanic bubblings.… –Marco Vassi"
  "Another cultural myth is the idea that “Someday my Prince [or Princess] will come”—in other words, that the right partner will unlock our responses and give us access to erotic pleasure and fulfillment. This notion leads us to expect that with love, good sex follows—and, conversely, that if you just had great sex, it must be love. Sexologists tell a joke: “Someday my Prince [or Princess] will come, and so will I”— to call attention to, and gently mock, this assumption that “the right one” will change everything for us sexually."
  "As Robert Frost wrote, “Love at the lips was touch/As sweet as I could bear/And once that seemed too much…” Remember—you’re right up against their face: You can feel their breath—and they yours; smell them; and taste them. When you’re kissing, many senses come into play. You can kiss without touching the other person anyplace but the lips: It’s a rather sweet exercise, in fact, to simply keep your hands to yourself."
  It wasn’t until the 1970s that novelist and acclaimed diarist Anaïs Nin’s erotic stories from the 1940s were collected in two volumes, Delta of Venus and Little Birds. Diane di Prima’s Memoirs of a Beatnik had been published in 1969. Women’s erotic stories, memoirs, and novels would get more and more attention from then on, from anthologies like A Woman’s Touch, The Ladies’ Own Erotica books, and the Herotica series.”
  "Most kids hear about oral sex around age 9 or 10, from other kids or from the media. Oftentimes they specifically ask, “What is a blowjob?” Here’s an answer you might choose to offer: “Some people kiss on genitals and think it feels good. It’s called ‘oral sex.’"
  "Ages 6 to 7: This age is when they really want to know how babies are made. “Sperm comes out of adult men and if grown-ups are having sexual intercourse then it can go into a woman through her vagina and make a baby. But babies and families are made in lots of ways. This is the main way, but there are others.”"
  "End of 12 to 13: Be loud and clear—and no stuttering!—on all things STI-related. Show them pictures if you want to. Talk and talk, tell them to masturbate, tell them how all parts of their body can feel excited when aroused."

  Super fun read, and it’s also a very important read. I have always be interested in this topic from a biological stand point, a Sex-Ed stand point, adding a little kink to your own life stand point (you get what I mean. It’s an amazing book that I feel covers a wide range of information.
