The "Norms"

This book was an excellent disclosure of what is normal and abnormal in human sexuality. The author collaborated anonymous essays from students in human sexuality classes. The students revealed many sexual experiences that would not have otherwise been exposed had their identities been known to anyone. Unidentified... but candid individuals wrote of experiences that most people would bind soley between the boundaries of their minds. Some blatently dicussed topics were first sexual experiences, interpersonal sexual experiences, solitary sexual experiences and fantasies. This text surprised me as to what was normal... especially early in childhood. I read essays that explained the true age at which most people first experience sexuality. Other essays desentized me to the anomolies of male and female sexual experiences. I have to say that this book opened my mind up to many behaviors and practices that I would have otherwise considered "abnormal". Also, I believe that anyone who reads this book will feel more comfortable sexually. The honest reports from many "normal" individuals will help others understand more about themselves sexually and will provide a security in knowing that possibly... what the individual has experienced is in truth, what many people have experienced as well.
