The description of the book mentions gay, lesbian, bi, trans, etc, but focuses very much on cis gay male information and stories. It's also fairly dated even for the time it was first published.
I read the 2015 version - I'm assuming the newer version has some updates.
I read this also because I saw it on the banned book list this year (2021-2022) and decided to read it to celebrate my right to read. I also got it at my library so I got it for free to try.
That being said it was just ok, I think this will work for some people and it just has a super cover!
The author has a “hello, fellow kids” vibes using lingo that will fade out and using “peen” instead of saying penis just makes a lot of the book ... not very serious as a guide. I mostly dis-like the author's humor and there was a lot of it. Also a lot of just opinions, I thought some were harmful. To paraphrase, people want to have sex with as many people as possible...this also completely ignores ace and demi people.
It's just an ok book, I like the how supportive the author is and feels like a gossipy friend sometimes (in a good way) and does touch on some great issues and observations.
I think this may have been better as a memoir or something.
