It’s on the banned book list, because it’s a book for young children about sexuality and sex as a concept, and it’s extremely thorough. Including showing cartoonish drawn images of men and women of essentially all possible body types naked, and describing homosexuality and transness as being normal and acceptable.

Understanding what sex was from a young age prevented me from getting molested on multiple occasions, and seeing depictions of nudity in all different races, sexes, and body types outside of the context of porn really helped me avoid the mental traps that pornography creates for people.

It’s good that the book helped you through all of that, and yeah porn can really hold ppl back

I think it really wouldn’t be holding people back if their first introduction to the ideas of sex and nudity were from it’s perfectly normal instead of porn tho. Like, the best way I can describe it was like an inoculation. It taught me literally all the important shit in a super healthy way, so when I did encounter porn through the internet I already understood what I was seeing and how is was different from reality.

I feel very strongly about the books from this author. If it wasn’t for my introduction to them by my parents I would be SO fucked up.

I get it! Sex is the kind that you really gotta have a healthy view on

I think if America wasn’t so culturally fucked up it’d be a lot easier.

Yup, definitely seems to frown upon anything other than “sex bad”
