EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW..............

I PURCHASED THIS BOOK IN THE EARLY '70'S AND HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED ANY OTHER LIKE IT. BEING RAISED IN A STRICT CATHOLIC HOUSEHOLD, THERE WERE A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. THIS BOOK EXPLAINS SEX IN THE BEAUTIFUL WAY THAT GOD INTENDED IT--IN THE HOLY STATE OF MATRIMONY! A QUESTION I ALWAYS HAD WAS WHY ARE CERTAIN THINGS CONSIDERED TABOO--IN MARRIAGE THERE IS THE EXCHANGE OF LOVE BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE AND IT'S TABOO OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE--MEANING YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS WHO THINK THEY'RE MATURE ENOUGH FOR THE "ACT" BUT NOT FOR THE GOD-GIVEN RIGHT OF PROCREATION. IT'S AN EXCELLENT BOOK FOR TEENS, NEWLYWEDS, CHRISTIAN, NONCHRISTIAN--FOR EVERYONE.
