Unfortunately this is my lowest rated book of this year so far and my primary issue with this book is that it simply is not about what it's title suggests its about. I went into this book expecting an examination and dissection of the history of sex ed and the issues with how current sex ed is taught. Alongside that I expected suggestions of solutions for these problems and how sex ed can, well, be 'transformed.' 

Instead I got a book that felt as though it bit of more than it could chew. The author tried to explore so many aspects of sex and sexuality like contraceptives, pornography and modern dating. However, none of these topics felt as though they were fully explored and I found it too simplistic, though I will admit that I am biased as I have read quite a lot of books on these issues.

One particular issue I had with this book, which has been mentioned by other reviewers, or rather one particular section I had an issue with was the section on contraceptives. At the beginning of this section the author outlines how teaching on contraceptives are very hetero and cisnormative, giving little to no information on contraceptives used outside of cis and heterosexual sex. Great! I one hundred percent agree with that statement. Yet she goes on to detail four contraceptive methods that are used predominately or exclusively in heterosexual sex. Even the ones that are used in queer sex, like condoms, are only touched upon from a heteronormative perspective. Why state that there is an issue with utilising a heteronormative perspective to teach about contraceptives when that is what you yourself are going to do? Additionally, I didn't find much insight into the contraceptives that the author does talk about nor did I find it particularly detailed.
