	"Try _The Facts of Love_ by Alex and Jane Comfort."

But read it before you decide whether to pass it to your kids.  This
book is centered around the "if it feels good, do it" philosophy, which
is fine for some of us, but it does a grave disservice in its
discussion of VD: the authors claim that VD is no longer something to
worry about, as it can be cleared up with simple medical treatment.

With an estimated 10% of the American population suffering from herpes,
scores of people dead of AIDS, and several bacterial resistent strains
of other VDs spreading,  this rosey view of the world is not something
that I want my kid(s) to pick up.
