Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2005 | Series: invert

Not the birds and the bee's, guys' plumbing vs. girls' plumbing, how-it-all-works talk. Let's talk about sexuality; your sexuality and the sexuality of others. Let's talk about what is and isn't okay to look at, do, and think about. Questions You Can't Ask Your Mama About Sex is exactly that---questions too uncomfortable to talk about with your parents. This collection of discussions is drawn from real questions asked of the folks at XXXchurch.com. No topic is off limits---masturbation, pre-marital sex, technical virginity, pornography, homosexuality, sex toys, sex addiction. Not for the squeamish, these issues focus on the culture and commerce of sex to tell you what God has to say about keeping your clothes on. If you have questions about 'doin' it' that are burning a hole in the back of your head (or somewhere else on your body), look no further than this book.

I thought this book to be written too fast! It meant good but I thought it came to easy around the subject of lust and the dangers of it. Te author has written a lot of other amazing books that has helped me greatly in SO many ways that I can not even count, but this one really disappointed me. I give this book 3 stars for taking this difficult subject up, and writing about it. I respect xxxchurch ministry and the amazing things they do and the books they write. I read from they're great homepage on a daily basis and I am in a process of reading all of they're books. I know it's a book for teenagers mostly, and that might be a reason for the way it's written.

Hope the next book will be a little better written, still being reallllyyy excited and expectant

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT what God has to say about anything., April 21, 2011

This review is from: Questions You Can't Ask Your Mama About Sex (invert) (Paperback)

Yet another of the "sex is scary and bad, but a necessary evil" evangelical hack job. The author, who seems to see the church as a wonderful marketing tool, has put together a "Q & A" book that seeks to frighten small children out of thinking about or doing anything sexual. (It surely isn't for "teens" as he seems to think it will be, as few teenagers are this dull or naive.)

God created the joyful experience of sex, and it is good, like all things God made. Too bad this book's (and the evangelical church's) approach will sucker so many people into fearing what they could otherwise deeply enjoy. But then, they are too busy hating anyone who doesn't think like they do to enjoy much of anything.
