"Anyone interested in sex, family, and relationships will want this book." - Anne Semans, The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex Bright is one of America's most vocal sex-positive advocates. This collection of 22 sketches written during the first 12 years of her daughter's life covers a variety of topics: her daughter's questions at school when she's asked to describe what her mom does for a "job," how nudists age, the strange future of porn, the ruin of most sex advice, real life non-monogamy stories, and even a recipe for cherry pie.
