The Cartoon Guide to Sex

From the first eye contact to the therapist's couch, from the throes of ecstasy to the nitty-gritty of safer sex, from the world's sexiest animal to the dating jungle, The Cartoon Guide to Sex covers everything you've always wanted to know about sex. Frank, informative, and written with Larry Gonick's characteristic comic verve and scientific accuracy, this book gives a comprehensive discussion of the spectrum of human sexuality, including sexual structures and functions, gender roles and sexual identity, sexual arousal and response, sexual communication, love, marriage and other arrangements, contraception, and sexual health -- without the fig leaves.

Larry Gonick has been creating comics that explain math, history, science, and other big subjects for more than forty years. His Cartoon Guide series has enjoyed immense success. He has been a calculus instructor at Harvard (where he earned his BA and MA in mathematics), a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT, and a Montgomery Fellow at Dartmouth. He was staff cartoonist for Muse magazine.

Larry Gonick's books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
