This work takes a no-nonsense look at the sexual issues that many people wonder about, but do not know how to ask about. Selected letters from readers of a national women's magazine provide the basis for this easy-to-read book, which offers a wealth of information on a variety of sexual topics, including sexual physiology, relationships, problems with sexual functioning, and treatment approches. Dr Polonsky's straightforward style and his question-and-answer format enables the reader to thumb through the book and to focus only on those topics important to the reader at the time. Or the reader may choose to read the book from cover to cover for a complete sex re-education. Readers may even find themselves asking "Why didn't they teach that in sex education?". Although the book is not able to offer any magical cures, it does aim to offer a frank and open discussion about people's sexual lives - fears, the family, childhood sexual abuse, surgery and illness, and AIDS and sex. Although the book is written for adults, "Talking about Sex" provides parents with factual information they can use in communicating with their children about sex. The questions are from real-life. The doctor's answers are reassuring. Throughout the book, he puts a positive emphasis on healthy sexual development.
