Hello! I am aunt Marjorie.
I think sex is very important
for every human being,
especially youngsters. If
you want to learn as many
things as possible about
sex, and make sure they are
accurate, stick to me and
my advice.
Hello! My name is aunt
Bessie. I think sex is very
interesting for every human
being, especially
youngsters. If you want to
enjoy sex and not do
something stupid, stick to
me and my observations.
In a desire to reassure, instruct, encourage, entertain and tease you, we decided to write a book
about sex, but without mincing words. We formed a team of superlative lay persons or non-
experts (and added two aunts) who conducted a survey among youngsters aged eight to
eighteen.
1. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SEX?
2. WHAT IS YOUR FIRST THOUGHT WHEN YOU
HEAR THE WORD SEX?
3. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR
INFORMATION ABOUT SEX?
4. WOULD YOU READ A BOOK
ABOUT SEX?
5. VARIOUS.
Respondents were asked the following five questions:
Uninteresting answers:
1. Flower pot (Sonja, 8)
2. Open your mouth and
Ill tell you (Milica, 9)
3. Naked women (Aca, 10)
4. Cookies (Sasha, 9)
5. A joke about little Perica (Nikola, 11)
6. None of your business (Jovana, 10)
OBSERVATION: The younger respondents were both much cheekier and much less
interested in sex than the older ones. We shall therefore refrain from giving the other uninteresting
answers lest you lose all interest in sex.
Here
I opened my mouth!
Asked ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SEX, no fewer than 98 out of 100 said they were very
interested in sex. Just one each picked the so-and-so and not interested at all answers.
We divided the replies to the second question, WHAT IS YOUR FIRST THOUGHT WHEN YOU
HEAR THE WORD SEX, into two groups.
8
Interesting answers:
1. Excitement (Jovan, aged 17)
2. Darkness (Zorica, 16)
3. Jelena (Marko, 15)
4. Kissing (Natasha, 13)
5. Making out (Sinisa, 15)
6. Love (Jasmina, 17)
7. Pamela Anderson (Dusan, 15)
8. Screwing (Nikola, 18)
9. School trips (Sanja, 16)
10. Condom (Petar, 17)
I protest! Why
werent there any
questions about
aunts, who are so
important for
educating young-
sters about sex?
Actually, aunts
are more
important for
offering
support!
I TALK TO MY PARENTS. They are
embarrassed, and I am bored. What
do parents know about sex, anyway?
There were a number of different answers to the third question, WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR
INFORMATION ABOUT SEX?
I TALK TO TEACHERS. They are even
more embarrassed, and Im even more
bored. Teachers know even less about
sex than parents.
I TALK TO FRIENDS. Every time they
open their mouths they lie.
I READ MEDICAL LITERATURE.
Sends you right to sleep.
I READ PORNOGRAPHIC
LITERATURE. Until my father takes it
(over).
I WATCH SEX EDUCATION BROAD-
CASTS ON CHILDRENS TV. I know
everything there is to know about the
reproduction of ferns, earthworms and
slugs.
I WATCH PORNO MOVIES. Yes, every
time my parents go to our cottage in
the country once in two months.
I USE THE INTERNET. Not since Ive
been ordered to pay the phone bill.

Question number four WOULD YOU
READ A BOOK ABOUT SEX? drew
an overwhelming YES response 99
out of a hundred said: certainly,
yes, if there are pictures, I cant
wait, wouldnt you?, Ill buy two,
one for me and one for my best
friend. Only one answered I want to
be a musician (probably wasnt being
serious, so we chucked out his reply).
Puberty or adolescence
a process during which a child becomes an
adult. Begins at eleven (maybe earlier) and ends
at 17 (maybe later). All manner of changes take
place in this period: physical, emotional, mental,
social, and of course sexual. Almost overnight,
the small grows into the large, interesting sub-
jects become boring and unimportant ones very
important. The main cause of all those major and
sudden changes are invisible substances
hormones, released by certain glands in the
body. Hormones affect a great many processes
in the brain. Sexual hormones control the deve-
lopment of physical sexual characteristics
(menstruation, the production of egg-cells and
sperm), but they also affect the mind. They are
female hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
and male ones (testosterone). They help
children to become adults. Given that not even
experts know everything about hormones, we
have decided not to delve too deeply into that
subject. But their industrious and constant
activity places people who are in puberty face to
face with a number of questions:
PUBERTY
CHILDHOOD
IN CONFIDENCE: We still havent
managed to classify the replies under number
five, VARIOUS (and probably never will).
EXPERT CONCLUSION OF THE SUPERLATIVE LAYPERSONS:
Judging by the responses we received, the humblest layman (let alone an expert) can
conclude that young people find sex very attractive and important, but also mysterious,
so that we began writing our book right away. We based our text and illustrations on:
amateur research and professional knowledge, but most of all the misconceptions,
dilemmas and follies of the authors and the people around them.

There are many ways to reach the answer, and here we offer the simplest take the following test!
Am I a normal person?
a question which is the biggest burden
to youngsters in puberty or those facing it, as well
as the authors of this book. The former will heave
a sign of relief as soon as they realise that the
problem is not in them but in hormones, while the
third will just take a deep breath and continue
writing and drawing.
If one moment you feel like a child, yet within
just half an hour you reason and behave like an
adult, it would be quite normal to think you
werent normal. The same will happen as you
notice that day by day you become more and
more different from your peers in regard to your
looks, feelings, thinking, interests, tastes
Everyone grows up in a different manner and at a
different pace. Usually by leaps and bounds,
sometimes gradually. The unsteadiness,
diversity and the leaps may be interesting, but
can also cause a lot of fatigue. Those around us
only add to this adolescent mishmash by their
comments and advice. What else is there to do
but get even more confused and unsettled? Will
my parents love me the way I am? Will anyone
ever love me? Am I becoming a freak? Is there
any way to stop this? Is there any way to speed
this up? AM I TRULY A NORMAL PERSON?
Am I normal?
DIRECTIONS: Read each question carefully and answer it only after thinking carefully. Circle only
one of the two answers on offer YES or NO. Add up the totals and read the conclusions.

Parents when near at hand,
theyre a bore and a burden,
when far away, kids miss them.
However far away they might be, parents:
a) ban everything kids love to do
You are not going on the end-of-year school trip!
You better be home by ten oclock!
Dont ever let me see you again with that boy
with the ear-ring!
Get off the phone!
Stop playing those video games!
Turn down that awful music!
b) order you to do everything you hate
Tidy up your room!
Sit down and do your lessons!
Get to bed this minute!
Apologise to your father!
Take out the trash!
Come down and say hello to your aunt!
c) ask all the wrong questions
I want to know who was at the party!
You didnt join them in it, did you?
Where have you been all day?
Who were you talking to?
How was the maths test?
Own up and you wont be punished!
ADVICE:
PASSIVE
Itll all pass...
ACTIVE
Freedom isnt grant,
its won!
What do males and females have in common?
If you dont mind, Id like to add something on the subject of
parents and children. Every day we get heaps of letters like
this one:
Her school marks and studying have been slipping lately.
She eats poorly and is hardly ever at home, spending all day
with her friends. She wont tell me anything and I no longer
have any influence on her. She now has a boyfriend, a
problematic boy who is quite a lot older than she is. I am
afraid he might trick her into having sex with her. Alcohol,
drugs and AIDS I dont even dare think about. I am quite
beside myself, I dont know what to do. I dont know what I
did wrong
For this mum and for all other parents:
10 BITS OF ADVICE FROM AUNT MARJORIE:
1. Get as much information as possible about sex, AIDS, alcohol and drugs
2. Urge your children to talk freely on those subjects
3. Never ridicule their actions and
suppress their questions
4. Help them to come face to face with
their emotions, dilemmas, fears
5. Teach them to understand their sexual needs,
without fear and shame
6. Teach them self-respect
7. Teach them to assume responsibility for their
actions and their choices
8. Help them to comprehend influence
their peers exert in regard to sex
9. Help them to draw positive
conclusions from their failures
10. You are the most important models for
them both in life and in sex.
Love them, trust them,
help them to become
independent, and give them
a generous allowance!

School is an institution that provokes terror, nausea and boredom for as long as it lasts, and
sadness, emptiness and fond memories once its over. As far as sex is concerned, school plays
a very important role, as it is an excellent hotbed of both great love sagas and soap operas.
Lessons, breaks, supplementary classes, excursions and above everything else end-of-year trips
offer excellent opportunities for an exchange of looks, declarations, notes, kisses, cuffs Let us
also not forget the lavatory walls, where the approach to sex is more liberal than anywhere else.
ATTENTION: Undesirable, negative, dangerous and perverted elements (maniacs and
pedophiles) may appear in or around schools (see pages 84 and 85).
ATTENTION: If we have succeeded in scaring you, thats what we intended to do. If we
havent, dont worry, well do it later, just read on!
Dear teachers, school psychologists and pedagogues! Your attention, please! We
know you are overloaded with every-day obligations and have no great desire to
talk about sex with children and their parents, but I assure you that whatever
you can do to this end will both mean a lot both to individuals and contribute to
a healthier atmosphere in school.
For teachers, school psychologists and pedagogues only
5 BITS OF ADVICE FROM AUNT MARJORIE
1. Get as much information as possible about sex,
AIDS, alcohol and drugs
2. Urge schoolchildren to get as much
information about these subjects as possible
3. Try and achieve a relaxed atmosphere in class
conducive to an open debate on love, sexuality,
the attitude towards ones own body, personal
relations
4. Organise lectures, debates, workshops
on sex
5. Inform parents who can help them
and how they can be helped to
instruct their children about
sexuality.
One more thing!
Smile, be happy
and be sexy, of
course!
Conflicts have existed for as long as humankind. For centuries, various unpleasant situations,
misunderstandings, twists and turns, break-ups, rows have taken place every day. Conflicts arise
between persons of the same or different sexes, between two or more persons, peers, adults and
children, lovers, members of the immediate and extended family, neighbours, friends, enemies
They can take place in the following forms: provocation, a non-violent row,
a row with a scrap, a scrap with a row, a scrap without a row, a war
Conflicts are usually the result of recklessness, egocentricity,
selfishness, shame, fear, poor hearing, age differences, gender
differences
22
On the road to independence and self-reliance, all children go through a number of conflicts, both with
adults and with their peers (let alone those who are younger than they are). The oldest historical
reports about this date from the times of the ancient (at that time young) Greeks. The conflict is always
the same its only the garb and scenery that change.
Dont let yourself feel embarrassed or even worse, guilty,
because you are growing up. You are changing so what! Dont
be scared of changes. They will open new doors for you and
bring you new joys. For example, you will become a truly equal
partner in debate with your parents, which is no bad thing.
Be patient! Dont judge yourself too harshly! Accept your new
face, your changed body, your new thinking. Try and
understand both yourself, your peers and the changes you
see in them. Poking savage fun at others will not ease
your own troubles. Wait out the process together and be
patient. Keep in mind that everyone grows up in his or
her own way, and that every one of those ways is the
right way!
Here is some practical advice how you can help yourself fight
shyness:
1. Regardless of everything and everyone, try and think as little
as possible about your shyness and the changes it causes to you.
2. The heat and blushing cannot be suppressed by power of will
you just have to wait until they go away on their own. It is
difficult and unpleasant, but once you pass over the first wave,
all the others are easier. A second wave of shyness appears only
very rarely.
3. Talk to others about your shyness, ask them how they deal with
theirs. Do not run away from shyness and do not try to conceal it!
4. Try to deal with all jibes and unpleasant comments bravely and
carry on. Talk about something else. Very often those around you
will not even notice your shyness, it is you yourself it affects the
most
Shyness and embarrassment are divided equally among males and females.
They manifest themselves in two ways:
One reticence, queasiness in the belly, a pale face, physical and mental stiffness.
Two verbosity, queasiness in the head, a red face, excessive physical and mental activity.
Here is what two unnamed kids in puberty told us about shyness:
FIRST ANONYMOUS PERSON: I get even shyer when others notice that I am shy!
SECOND ANONYMOUS PERSON: I am embarrassed of the fact that I am changing constantly and
becoming someone else.
23
24
Asked What are you ashamed of, the
FIRST ANONYMOUS PERSON replied:
1. I am ashamed of taking off
all my clothes.
2. I am ashamed of my total inexperience.
3. I am embarrassed when the light is on.
Here are the replies of the
SECOND ANONYMOUS PERSON to
the same question:
1. I am ashamed of taking off all my
clothes.
2. I am ashamed of my total
inexperience.
3. I am embarrassed when the light is on.
Boredom This section was expunged it was too boring! (Editor)
What about shyness in sex?
The closer you are to your loved one, the less shy you
will be! In the initial stages of your relationship, you
should try and focus your thoughts on your good sides
and away from what you dont like about yourself. Do
not burden yourself or others with your complexes. In
time, your loved one will reveal to you many other
wonderful sides of your person and personality. That is what
loved ones are for so they can see how wonderful we
really are!
25
PERSONS WHO SUFFER
FROM SUPERIORITY
COMPLEXES
see no equal for themselves and
hence think they are entitled to all
that is best, nicest and biggest: the
front seat in the car, the leg of the
turkey, the most attractive person of
the opposite sex in their group, the
admiration of their circle (and their
flattery, of course) Whatever they
dont like they reject with loathing.
They always know everything best
and are never to blame for
anything. They attract a lot
of attention with their
striking looks and be-
haviour. If not subject
to adoration, at least
they are always su-
bject to gossip.
They function only
when surrounded by
an audience. When on
their own, they turn into
type 1 or type 2.
PERSONS FROM SUFFER
FROM MEDIOCRITY
COMPLEXES
wallow in averageness. They
arent ugly, but cannot be called
attractive, either. Intelligent: so-
so, popular: more or less,
clothes: well, not too bad, funny:
nothing special. Invited only to
those parties where everyone else
is invited; not very popular dates.
Answer questions mostly by
shrugging. Speak neither ill nor
good of others. Golden mean and
Dont make waves are their
favourite sayings. Favourite day of
the week: Wednesday.
PERSONS WHO SUFFER
FROM INFERIORITY
COMPLEXES
always see themselves as not
good enough for anything or any-
one. They always suffer the same
troubles: others take their chair,
slam doors in their face, dont greet
them in the street, take away their
boy/girl-friends... Can be recogni-
sed by the can of ash they keep at
hand as soon as someone begins
to praise them, they begin to heap
ash on their heads in an effort to
lessen their value and importance.
In the presence of persons of the
opposite sex, they trip and fall,
stammer, talk rubbish (and then
worry about it) When people
are talking about sex, they
blush, look at the ground and
nervously pluck wool out
of their sweaters.
NOTE: Pure types seldom appear in real life. Within a single day, the same person
can feel almost worthless and depressed, but also arrogant.
ATTENTION: Complexes can complicate your life considerably, as they simply
represent our vulnerabilities and our sensitive spots.
Make sure you dont cross your
problems and complexes with those of
others, as that is where the real
confusion starts. Some people need
mats to stand on. Make sure you
arent abused by anyone, but
also that you dont trample
on others. Be
independent and free.
Be your own!
It isnt so important what others think about us. Its more important what
we think about ourselves! Its also important to discern between our own
opinions about ourselves and those of others. If you really want to
assess yourself, then do it properly. Patiently, slowly, concretely, not by
generalising. For example, asking yourself what kind of person you are is
not appropriate. The real questions should be: How good am I in sports?
How fast was as in the match? How good is my ballet coordination?
Do I have the proper feeling for rhythm? etc. An analysis of this
kind will show you your strong and your weak points, and what
you should work on If youre not very good at something
today, that need not be so tomorrow.
Complexare a very complex matter. They are one of the indicators of the way we see ourselves,
what we think others think about us, what are our fears There are inferiority, mediocrity and
superiority complexes.
DOCTORS ADVICE:
Buy appropriate creams in a
pharmacy or come in a

OUR ADVICE:
Spend as much time as
possible outdoors and refrain
from looking at yourself in
the mirror for a couple of
years!
Of course not, but when you
were fifteen, you went to
your doctor and demanded a
full skin transplant! The
doctor sent you home with
the following comment:
I dont have any in your
size at the moment, come
back tomorrow!
Dont worry, I also
had acne once, so
is there any
problem with me
now?
Acne The most repulsive and horrible bit of spite from the sebaceous glands. Its victims are
innocent, helpless and juvenile. Acne usually appear at the worst possible moment on the eve of
your birthday, before your first date or public appearance Appears mainly on your face, chest and
back.
But we must make something
completely clear. This book is not
intended as a guide for making
love, but for developing
sexuality. This means: self-
analysis, self-respect, making
decisions, health and developing
ones own sexuality, but also
knowing, understanding and
tolerating others.
Sexuality is an integral part of
personality. All people have
sexual feelings, but we all
express them differently, each in
his or her own way. That is why it
is very important to respect the
sexuality of others.
Sex is natural and normal. And
everything we do in sex with
the consent of our partners is
OK. If sex does no harm to
anyone, it should not be
condemned. We are all
responsible for our own actions
and their consequences
27
Sex a word which has always provoked sniggers, sneers, jeers, smiles and guffaws by the young
and the old, men and women. Many books have been written about sex, films shot and famous
pictures painted. Theres never enough said about it..
28
Girls usually have
the following thoughts:
HOW DO I APPROACH HIM?
WHERE WILL I GO OUT TONIGHT?
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
WHY
arent my breasts bigger?
isnt my waist slimmer?
dont I have more money?
dont I have an older and
smarter sister?
Somebody's height can depend on the following: genetics and heel size. We
differentiate among three categories: a) short, b)medium-sized and c) tall.
Regardless of where they belong, kids in puberty are usually dissatisfied with their height.
With the passage of time, their frustration may disappear, but it can also grow. Before
puberty, girls are usually taller than boys, but a few years later the opposite becomes true.
NOTE: The exception proves the rule!
Way of thinking not only different between men and women, but also from one person
to another.
OBSERVATION: When a person of the female sex thinks about a person of the
opposite sex, she usually has romantic thoughts, while a person of the male sex usually
has an erotic approach when thinking about the fair sex. And vice versa.
What is the difference between males and females?
HOW DO I APPROACH HER?
WHERE WILL I GO OUT TONIGHT?
WHY
isnt my penis bigger?
isnt my nose smaller?
isnt my pocket-money bigger?
dont I have an older and
smarter brother?
Boys usually have
the following thoughts:
29
Skinny as a
herring.
Heavy as an
elephant.
Heavy as
a horse
Fat as
a pig
Light as
a wren.
Skinny as
a mosquito.
EXAMPLE:
LONG LEGGED CHAPS are tall, skinny, bony and often toothy.
Paddle-sized feet ensure good footing. Used for skeleton and
anatomy research. Often play basketball and win awards and
sympathies of sports fans and persons of the opposite sex.
PRACTICE HAS SHOWN: hat size is no guarantee for matureness and sanity, let alone sexual
performance!
Body weight is measured in pounds/kilogrammes and animals:

Body weight is very important in puberty. Among girls, it is even a matter of prestige the slimmer
the better. The others gain their popularity later on in life, often in the kitchen. One of the
differences between boys and girls is in their body weight. Boys are heavier.
NOTE: Long live the exceptions!
EXAMPLE:
FAT GUYSlove food, tobacco, porno
movies and dirty jokes. Favourite
hobby: idleness. Would be happy to
shed pounds, but not bad habits.
Love to poke fun at and comment on
others and dispense (unwanted)
advice. Talk loudly and laugh even
more loudly. Know everything there is
to know about sex, although they
often dont have girlfriends.
EXEPTION:
FAT GIRLS constantly dieting.
When they are suffering, they eat,
after they eat, they suffer. In their
imagination they are always with
handsome, muscular, famous and
rich men, but in reality they are with
the others.
DEFINTELY NOT RECOMMENDED:
Lifting off the floor.
RECOMMENDED:
Being with others, sharing secrets.
31
EXEPTION:
TOMBOY Enjoys a beer with the lads after the match. Speaks in a loud voice, swears, spits,
smokes and goes around with a toothpick sticking out of her teeth. Finds it easier to talk about
fishing than make-up. Spends all her money on parts for her motor bike. Puts on a dress for the
first time at her best mates wedding. Does not need a boyfriend, as she opens the door for herself,
holds her own chair and her own coat. Detests blondes.
Where is the
sex here? The
whole thing is
being watered
down
On the contrary, its getting more and more complicated. Kids appearance is
very important for their sexuality, especially in this age group. A number of
changes happen to the body in puberty as a direct effect of maturing and
growing up. All these things also affect the mind, of course. We must
therefore not fail to mention the hours and days spent worrying over ones
appearance. I know of many different examples: countless sleepless nights
spent worrying over an excessively long second toe, bony knees, a
prominent mole, too short eye-lashes, too many freckles, too many or two
few curls and so on. The smaller the shortcoming, the bigger the worry and
the more difficult it is to solve the problem. That is why this section is so
important and should be read carefully.
But how is that
connected with
sex?
Physical strenghtis very important for accomplishing certain objectives taking
someones ball, trainers or girlfriend. Usually prevalent among men, but not always.
Body hair (most) men have
much more than women. Except for
the tops of their heads, arms, legs,
armpits and genital areas, men can
grow hair in other areas their faces,
necks, chests and backs. Only
the palms of their hands and
their soles are hairless.
PHENOMENON: As the years pass,
some men have less and less hair on the
top of their heads. This process makes
them very unhappy, and usually bald.
CONSOLATION: The voice change takes a year or two, but whats that compared with
eternity!
Quite obviously. The body and sex are very close,
especially in puberty. With the passage of time,
all the worry over physical appearance wanes and
disappears, leaving only sweet memories. Until
that happens, dont let it worry you. Do your
lessons, take part in sports, have fun!
32
Voice varies not only between girls and
boys, but also in a single person in a single
second adolescent males are the owners of
two voices a squeaky boys vice and a
deeper mens voice. The alternating
squeaking, screeching, droning and
humming sends others into paroxysms of
laughter. This voice change is perceived by
the individual as a double betrayal: by
himself and by others.

pubic hair
Maid Marian
Robin Hood
Facial hair is called moustache and beard, and hair around the genitals pubic hair. Pubic hair in
women is triangular in shape and one of the following: small, large, dark, blonde, carroty, dense
or sparse Besides protecting the genitals, pubic hair attracts persons of the opposite sex like
a magnet.
EXEPTION No. 1:
HAIRY LADY a person of the fair sex with
excess body hair. Always dark, seldom a
blonde. Turns a blind eye to taunts, as she
believes the laws of nature have to be
respected. Saves a considerable amount
of pocket-money by avoiding waxes.
EXEPTION No. 2:
BABY FACE a male with a shortage of body
hair. The more he desires them, the slower
they grow. Usually a blond, seldom dark-
haired. When taunted, acts disinterested, but it
only looks that way.
CONSOLATION: Robin Hood was
also hairless before puberty!
* In which case we wont even try to convince you that its just a transitional stage in your
development, because whatever we said you wouldnt listen. So fight it out on your own once
youve passed through all that chaos, youll be stronger, more secure and more manly.
34
Breast size varies widely from person to person it can be a one, two, three, four, five,
Pamela. depending on the brassiere cup size.
Four fundamental rules about
breasts:
RULE No. 1:
Whatever their size, they wont suit you!
RULE No. 2:
Whatever their size,your friends will take
jibes at you.
RULE No. 3:
However you bear yourself,adults will tell
you tostraighten your back!
RULE No. 4:
Full speed ahead! Stand up straight and
push out your chest, whatever your bosom
size. Breasts are a wonderful ornament on
your body (except if youre male*).
But also with sexual
relations.
I would like to caution
persons of the male sex
not to skip over the
next chapter men and
women both need to be
informed about
menstruation, as it is
intimately connected
with pregnancy!
REMARK:
The real purpose of
breasts is feeding infants,
but more about that
later!
EXAMPLE No. 1:
TITLESS WONDER a flat-chested
woman, whose only curves are her heels.
Never wears dresses with low necklines. If
ready to poke fun at herself, attains a great
deal of popularity in her circle, especially
among men.
EXAMPLE No. 2:
PAMELA Named after the star of Baywatch. If
proud of her breasts, wears tight-fitting low-cut
tee-shirts, often with logos like KISS ME. If
ashamed of her chest, hunches her back and
wears her dads XXXL shirts and sweaters. If
ready to poke fun at herself,
attains a great deal of
popularity in her circle,
especially among men..
NOTE: If your loved one really loves you, he will love your breasts, whatever their size. He
will enjoy looking at them and caressing them, and you will enjoy being looked at and caressed.
Menstruation, time of the month, periods a monthly bleed from the uterus. Usually
lasts from three to seven days. Restricted to women, without exception. The first menstruation
takes place in puberty, and the last in the menopause*.
THEORY: Menstruation
takes place as a result of the
discharge of an egg-cell
from one of the two ovaries (a
process called ovulation, taking
place mid-way along the
menstrual cycle). The egg-cell
reaches the uterus (womb)
through one of the two Fallopian
tubes. If an egg-cell comes in
contact with a sperm in the tube
and is fertilised, it will remain in
the uterus, which means that the
woman is pregnant and her
periods stop (see page 74).
If that does not happen, the
unfertilised egg-cell will be
ejected from the uterus,
together with its lining, in
the form of blood that is
menstruation. It happens
monthly, in cycles of
between 28 and 32 days.
The menstrual cycle is
controlled by hormones.
Some women suffer from
stomach pains, vertigo,
mood changes and irritation
immediately before and
during their periods.
ATTENTION: Menstrual pains, whether they exist or not, can sometimes be a
wonderful excuse (for skipping PE, household chores etc.).
UNDESIRABLE EFFECT No. 1: If you get your period and lack suitable protection,
you may stain your clothes. In that case, best move to another planet for a while until
your friends forget the incident.
* Puberty is the stage in which a girl becomes a woman, and menopause that in which a woman
becomes a lady in the prime of her life.
36
All jokes aside, this is a very serious subject. Both the onset and duration of
menstruation in puberty are usually very irregular. The first might start without
any warning in a cinema, during school, while youre sleeping. The
appearance of blood between a girls legs could easily alarm her, especially
is she is unprepared. However horrible it might appear, you must try and
get yourself together. Panicking will only make it worse. The first thing you
can do is go to the nearest lavatory and put a sanitary towel or paper
towel into your panties. Then slowly make your way home, have a shower,
change and put in a new napkin. You may then inform your family youll see,
theyll be pleased. Your first period is a sign that you body has begun
preparing for one of its most important functions pregnancy. It would be a
good idea to keep a record of your cycles and expected dates in that way you
will avoid unpleasant surprises and unplanned moves to another planet
Please avoid exertion during
your cycles, drink more liquid
and take particular care of
your personal hygiene. Sexual
relations are not prohibited,
but arent advised, either.
And dont fall for that old story
that you cant get pregnant if
youre having your period.
YOU CAN!!!
UNDESIRABLE EFFECT No. 2: If you miss your
period, you must talk to an advisor, a gynecologist, but
first of all to your mother
or your aunt! Missing your
period need not
automatically mean
pregnancy. At that age
diverse hormonal and
other problems are
possible. Whatever the
cause, the best help
will come from an
expert.
ADVICE: Sanitary towels and tampons are used for soaking up
menstrual blood. Towels are for external use and tampons for internal
use (they should be inserted into the vagina). They are changed every
three to four hours. Tampons are made in two sizes, smaller ones for
teenagers and bigger ones for older women. Both towels and
tampons have their good and bad sides. You will have to decide on
your own which ones to choose.
INFORMATION: Sexual organs vary in size. Sometimes penises roughly equal in size
when limp assume quite different dimensions when erect. The same penis can also be
different in size, depending on the particular erection. It is important to understand that the
size of a sexual organ in no way determines sexual potency or virility.
Whatever you look at from above always looks smaller.
RECOMMENDATION: Change the point of view! Try, for
example, to look at you penis from the side, in a mirror. We
guarantee that your mood will improve considerably. But if your
obsession with size is too strong, and you also have time on your
hands, take a ruler and get to work.
Comparing male and female
sexual organs, we can
conclude that there is really
more to see in a man. Take you,
for example. Yours certainly has
grown, but not like his! His is
longer! But if yours is shorter, it
doesnt mean its less valuable.
Longer doesnt mean better. You
should know that! If you dont, talk
to girls and ask them what they
think about the length of a
mans penis. Youll be quite
surprised when you hear what
they say. Women not only dont
care for size, but bigger ones can even
intimidate them. Havent you heard
the saying: Its the singer, not the
song!!

avid readers!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The actual appearance of
the sexual organ is far less
important than its function
the exchange of sexual
pleasure.
The scientific name of the
male sex organ is penis, but we also
call it pecker, willie, todger, sausage
The female sex organ is the vagina,
also known as pussy, fanny, beaver
All the other names are easy to find in
the everyday language of the people
around us, especially in curses, oaths,
dirty jokes and quarrels.
Apart from size, males are usually also
worried by their penises being bent to the
left or the right while erect. If you are not
calmed by our assurance that most men
have bent willies and that this is no
hindrance to sexual relations, talk to a
urologist (see page 81).
Womens sexual organs can vary in width,
volume, moistness and positioning. An
important part of the female sex organ is
the clitoris. About the size of a pea, the
clitoris is located on the frontal, external
and upper part of the vagina, and its
purpose is satisfying the sexual instinct. It is
full of nerve endings and
represents the chief female
erogenous zone (see page
66). Women also spend a
lot of time looking at their
sexual organs and
thinking about them, but
still far less than men.
The penis is the male sexual organ, which is an exit
for urine and sperm. Urine you have known for
some time, while as far as sperm is concerned, if
you havent met it yet,
you will soon. Sperm is a
fluid ejected during
sexual stimulation, or
orgasm. Once a penis is
stimulated sexually, it
becomes upright and
hard, and will call this
an erection. Below the
penis is an appendage
called a scrotum, which
contains the testicles.
They produce the
sperm. There are two
testicles, one usually
lower down than the
other. They are so
sensitive that even the
thought or hurting
them causes pain.
The vagina is the female sex organ linking the
uterus and external exit of the vagina. Its length is
seven to ten centimetres. It is very flexible.
During sexual intercourse
it receives the penis,
while menstrual blood
passes through it, as do
babies in childbirth. Its
external opening is
flanked by two pairs of
lips, or labia. Women
have two ovaries
containing egg-cells. The
ovaries secrete
hormones (Estrogen and
Progesterone) which are
of importance for the
development of babies.
Babies develop inside a
uterus, a muscular organ
which is Just as flexible
as the vagina.

Flirting can be a one-time event, the start of a serious relationship or the start of a frivolous
relationship. Persons suffering from superiority complexes (see page 25) find it very useful.
Persons suffering from jealousy (see page 46) identify flirting with sexual relations and treat it as
a major threat. Of course, there are also those who think flirting is a waste of time and energy.
Infatuation a state of intoxication, ecstasy,
disorientation. An infatuated person can be easily
recognised by their partial or total absent-mindedness,
depending on whether their infatuation is less or more
serious. You talk to them and they just smile foolishly,
look right through you and hear nothing of
what youve said. Infatuated persons
dont do their schoolwork, dont eat
and dont sleep. Most of the
time they daydream and
spend time on the
phone. Infatuation does
not last long it turns
into love (sometimes) or
just disappears (most of
the time).
Flirting or courting blinking, winking, smiling and sniggering, blushing During
the flirting stage, the fair sex also cross their legs, tip their heads and pick at non-
existent crumbs on their partners sweater. Men, on the other hand, thrust out their chests and
straighten their backs to show their might and their size. Their movements are exaggerated and
they use every possible opportunity to touch their partners arm or leg. Experts say the same
rituals are used by baboons and gorillas.

Whatever is happening to me?

Dear Diary,
I am so happy I cannot find words to
describe it. I saw him today, and I
think he also saw me. You have no
idea how cute he is! He was wearing
a super jacket and trainers, and
leaning on a car. He was spitting and
talking to a pal. I was standing on the
sidewalk with Tijana. She urged me
to go and talk to him, but I didnt
have the courage. Just as I was going
to approach him, the old man living
on the ground floor yelled at him
because he had spat on his window.
They quarreled for a while and then
went their own ways. I cant wait to
see him again. Next time Ill certa-
inly talk to him.
Yours, Katja

Dear Diary,
I didnt talk to him. What a geek
dressed as he was, who would?
Hes also cut his hair and looks
awful. However, Mira visited me
last night with her classmate. You
have no idea how cute he is. Hes
pierced his tongue and wears a
ring through it. He gave me his
telephone number. I think Ill call
him tomorrow. I cant wait to hear
his voice again.

Love an exalted feeling driving one to perform only positive actions and benevolent and
charitable deeds, towards his or her loved one as well as towards the whole world. You can feel
love for a child, a parent, husband or wife, significant other, neighbour, motherland Once upon
a time, wars were fought, crowns relinquished and great works of art created for love. What about
today?
Love can sometimes be hard to understand even for adults, let alone kids. Just imagine how
many love troubles are encountered by someone in puberty! If we ever manage to compile a list
of love problems, wed be more than happy to publish it (if we dont find anything better to do)
Love is a very complex feeling which is very difficult to
define. Some people think love is restricted to romantic
emotions. Others identify love with sexual desire and
attraction. Some say sexual relations must never take place
without love, while others say that it is only through sexual
relations that we can discover the true extent of our
feelings for our partner. These approaches are all
intertwined, yet none can be said to be completely true.
Some people decide to make love with each other, without
actually being in love. Its a personal choice. The things which
are permissible in sex are all those to which both partners
consent and which dont contravene ones personal codes.
You shouldnt do anything which is against your personal
standards! If someone tries to convince you that the only
way you can prove your love is through sex, you should know
that that person is trying to take
advantage of you and doesnt love you.
Many people try to solve the problem
of loneliness by entering into sexual
relations, but this is just a stop-gap
solution. Erich Fromm says in my
favourite book, The Art of Love, that
Only love can help is overcome our
feelings of loneliness yet retain our
personal integrity fully. Only when in
love do two beings become one yet
remain each ones own. Love is being
active, not passive

you usually have
to get together!

Breaking up the final phase of some relationships (erotic rather than commercial,
parental or neighbourly). Some people see breaking up as a great tragedy, others as
a big joke. It usually takes place at the end of an infatuation or the start of a new one.
Manifestations of separation are: crying and wailing, yelling, hair-tearing, cuffing and punching
and the issue of various threats. Ditched or dumped are the customary phrases. The break-up of
a married couple, which we call divorce, usually contains even more intensive manifestations of
all of the above.
If you have five or more NOs,
YOURE JUST ABOUT TO
BREAK UP
If you have five YES answers
and five NOs, the
SEPARATION IS UNDER WAY
If you have more than five

Jealousy is an emotion, like envy and greed. If freedom goes together with love, then
coercion goes together with jealousy. Jealous people stubbornly preserve and protect
their property from all would-be robbers. Possessed of an incredible ability to see a threat in
everything and everyone, such persons find it extremely easy to make scenes at every possible
occasion.
EXAMPLE:
A JEALOUS MAN never lets his girl out of
his sight. For reasons of security, they
seldom go out anywhere, spending most of
their time at home. They watch TV, play cards
or Yatzy, make love and bicker. Jealous
people exhibit their jealousy in two ways:
1) reacting violently and in public, and
2) reacting in private and taking their own
sweet time.
If a girlfriend wants to leave a jealous man,
he sometimes threatens murder or suicide.
Hates cuckoos.
NOTE: And the same goes for the fair sex.
Jealousy is usually the result of
personal insecurity and
disappointment with ones self
rather than love, as we might
think. Jealousy is to love what
rust is to iron.
This is how I rid myself of
my jealousy. The first
thing I did was stop
comparing myself with
others. I tried to mind my
own business and to be as
successful as possible in
everything I did. The
hardest thing to do is
start, but it gets easier
as it goes. Jealousy has
never plagued me since,
and Fido here is also
immune to it.
AN EXCELLENT WAY
TO PRESERVE PEACE
OF MIND AND AVOID
BEING JEALOUS

For youngsters and adolescents, the purpose of the phone is to push up the phone bill and provoke
quarrels with parents over calls lasting hours at a time. Such calls include the following activities aimed
at pestering blameless telephone subscribers: calling and then hanging up, playing music to them,
insulting them, heavy breathing and everything else Alexander Graham Bell never dreamed of when
he was inventing this form of telecommunication. Lately mobile phones have gained much popularity
most youngsters use them for exhibiting their social status rather than communicating.
THE ADVANTAGES OF CALLING
YOUR LOVED ONE BY PHONE:
a) prevents him/her from seeing
your clumsiness in courtship,
despair after rejection, anger
during quarrels, tears while
youre being dumped
b) its easier to utter the following
sentences:
I love you.
Will you go on a date with me?
I want to make love to you.
Ive had enough of you!
THE DISADVANTAGES OF CALLING
YOUR LOVED ONE BY PHONE:
a) no fewer than four of the five
senses are neglected: sight, smell,
taste, and most importantly,
touch.
b) the only sexual acts possible over
the phone are foreplay and self-
gratification (see page 50).
Everything else is not possible
for the moment.
The telephone plays a very important role in the lives of young people, hence it is no
surprise that the first thing persons in puberty say when they come through the front door is: Any
calls for me? Persons of the fair sex make fewer calls, but they last longer, while males make
more calls, albeit shorter ones.
Computer in the service of sex
its very difficult to talk about anything
nowadays without mentioning computers. This
also goes for sex. Lets begin with e-mail, the
most popular Web service. Traditional love
letters, once beautifully hand-written on the finest
paper and sprinkled with perfume, have been
completely forgotten as relics of a bygone age.
Electronic mail makes possible virtually instanta-
neous transfers of not only text messages, but
also photographs, sound and even video recor-
dings to destinations on the other side of the
globe.
We should perhaps mention computer sex
conferences with the most diverse subjects: Sex
Under Water, The Ten Most Important Things a
Lesbian Needs to Know, Homosexuals as
Fathers, 69, How Animals Do It You can
take an active part in such conferences or just
listen in. Futurists have signaled that virtual sex
could be an every-day event in the near future.
Besides three-D video head-sets, they say, there
will also be sexual organ attachments enabling a
realistic erotic experience. We cannot say
whether such virtual sex will rival traditional sex,
but at least it will be safer among other things,
computer viruses cannot harm your health like
real viruses
I want to talk about the sex-related sites in
which the Internet abounds. If I advise you not
to look at them, because you are under age and
because of their dubious aesthetic and moral
quality, all that will happen is that youll spend
even more time on them. Even if you havent
heard of them yet, Im sure youll be at them
like a shot. Lets try it this way. I am certain that
you know what is good for you and what isnt. If
you think you absolutely need pornography (see
page 91) and cannot live without a computer,
stay on the Net until your subscription expires.
But before you log on, consider very
carefully whether you really want
to meet various degenerates
and perverts and whether you
want to assume personal
responsibility for the fact
that instead of spending time
with your friends, you are
doing so with various cyber-
girls.
As we have heard, you can strike up new
friendships with the help of the Internet. In
most cases an exchange of messages will be as
far as it goes. But sometimes people actually
meet each in person and even form emotional
relationships. I need to say something on this
subject. My dear children, I know how difficult
it is to rein in your hormones at that age, but
I think you will agree with me when I say that
some caution is warranted. Be careful when
you strike up acquaintances with computer pals
I am talking about letting them know your
name, address, telephone number, school
location If you do meet, let this happen in a
public place, say a caf, and you
should be accompanied by
some friends. If you should
receive any indecent offers
and suggestions via e-mail,
you should inform an adult,
preferably your parents.

Fantazing in the service of sex its purpose is to inflame the sexual
potential of persons of both sexes. Usually practices in bed, in the bath, during classes,
in the bus, on the beach Usually begins by imagining naked bodies, but sometimes also
romantic scenes.
Get up and let an old
lady have your seat,
you daydreaming dunce!
WARNING: A fertile literary
imagination does not necessarily imply
imaginative sex. Conversely, sexual
prowess does not mean automatic As
on your English tests.
ADVICE: In your
imagination you can do
anything you like with
anybody so go ahead
and enjoy yourself!
ATTENTION: Take very
good care to whom you
describe your fantasies lest
you come to eat your words
at a later date!
ADDITIONAL LITERATURE: The Decameron,
The Kama Sutra, 1,001 Nights, Fear of Flying
(Erica Jong), Myra Breckenridge (Gore Vidal),
Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov), Erections, Ejaculations,
Exhibitions by Charles Bukowski
WARNING: Fantasizing can often lead to disappointment
(see the preceding image) or to self-gratification (see the next section).
50
NOTE: Some women
reach orgasm more easily
through self gratification
than sexual relations.
I suggest you play
with the water
while youre
showering!
Self-gratification, masturbation,
self-abuse the achievement of
sexual pleasure without the direct participation of a
second (third, fourth) person. As the word itself
says, self-gratification means satisfying ones own
desires doing it to yourself. Once called onanism,
derived from Onan, son of Judah, who when having
sexual relations with his brothers wife spilled his
sperm on the ground in order to avoid getting her
pregnant.
Polls conducted among men, both young and old,
show that males are much more prone to self-
gratification than women. The reason is simple: the
male sex organ is much more accessible. Boys get
using to touching theirs when urinating when they
are very young. Men also get excited much more
easily than women. Most girls begin to masturbate
only in late adolescence, while boys do so much,
much earlier.
During self-gratification, thoughts focus on scenes
firing up the sexual imagination. Boys usually use
visual objects for stimulation, while girls prefer verbal
fantasies. Men reach orgasm much faster, while
women need more time to go through the entire tale,
with its significant conclusion at the very end.
SELF-GRATIFICATION IS RECOMMENDED:
To people who are without a partner:
Better a cock in your hand than a hen on a branch!
IT IS ESPECIALLY RECOMMENDED:
To very young and very virile persons who are
physically ready for sex, but not mentally.
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED:
To elderly persons, coronary patients and people with casts on their arms.
51
Youll go
blind!
Many living things masturbate: your peers, older and younger people, even animals. But they all
keep mum about it (especially the latter). Apart from being an activity usually practiced behind
closed doors, it is also frowned upon.
FROM THE GUTTER PRESS:
Reports have come in of a young man with numerous
deformities who lives in a mountain village and has no
girlfriend. The palm of his right hand was completely black,
he had grown a second nose and another ear. The situation
returned to normal only after he had found himself a girl and
stopped his abusing himself. We just wonder how a man of his
looks ever managed to find himself a woman and what she
must have looked like!!
You mustnt ever fall for stories
like this one! Masturbation is a
completely natural and normal
function which cannot cause any
organic changes on or in your
body. Is that clear?!
Youll go
crazy!
Youll die!
It will wither
away!
Itll fall off!
Youll grow hair on your
palms and everybody will
know what youve been
doing!
Youll waste away all
your sperm and wont
have any left when you
really need it!

Nocturnal emissions, or wet dreams happen to males while theyre asleep, in
puberty and also later, just like in a fairy tale.
A Boy and his Sperm
T
here once was a young boy who
tried to expel his sperm. Try as he
might, he couldnt do it. He summoned
his dreams to help him. Try as they
might, the two of them couldnt do it.
The dreams summoned erection to help
them. Try as the three of them might,
they couldnt do it. The erection then
summoned orgasm to help them. Work-
ing together, they finally managed to
eject the sperm.
THE ADVANTAGES OF A FAIRY TALE:
While it lasts, everything is mystical and wonderful.
THE DISADVANTAGES OF A FAIRY TALE: Once its over,
you feet are cold, your bed is wet and your pyjamas are all sticky
Dates are classified according to:
ORDER:
a) the first
b) the last
c) the first, the last and never again
ATTENDANCE:
a) solo
b) twosomes (intimate)
c) groups (herds)
INTERESTINGNESS:
a) boring
b) extremely boring
c) interesting
d) a blast
Hanging out wi th other people is a very important factor of sex. When you go on
dates, you meet other people, hang out together, get closer to others, fall in love,
kiss and hold hands, yawn, quarrel and make up, cheat on each other, and sometimes even talk!
Your first date will always be the most memorable. You
live it through over and over again, talk about it many a
time, and never forget it.
People FREQUENTLY go out to: cafes, pizza parlors,
concerts, parties, cinemas.
They go out EVEN MORE OFTEN to: parks, street
corners, schoolyards, gateways and passages.
UNUSUAL places for a date: museums, the ballet,
opera, classical music recitals.
DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DATES
ARE: underwater caves, cemeteries, nuclear power
stations and the sites of major blazes.
People who are in puberty should go accompanied by friends.
Such outings are more entertaining, less of a burden or a
hassle, and also safer. Before you go out, tell someone in
your family about it. Tell them where
youre going and with whom, and when
you expect to be back. Try to avoid
suspicious parties, people youre not
comfortable with and dark and lonely
places.

Kisses can be aimed at ones
cheek, lips, nose, forehead, hair,
hand, chest, belly, your Thing, backside,
leg In order not to distract our readers, we
wont mention that there are: good-night kisses,
good-morning kisses, have-a-nice-trip kisses, welcome and
happy birthday kisses, Happy New Year and happy anniversary
kisses, good-bye and farewell kisses. For the same reason, we
shant mention that kisses are usually directed at Mother, Father,
Gran, Grandpa, Auntie, Uncle, Brother, Sis, girl and boy friends,
(pretty) neighbours and school-teachers We stress here that we are only interested in
kissing our loved ones, all in the service of sex. Lets begin:
Go out and meet people whenever you have
time to spare. When will you do it if not
now? Ive nothing to wear, I havent
washed my hair, I havent got any money,
I got my period, I dont want to miss
Eastenders, I have loads to e-mails to
answer are nothing but excuses for
laziness, shyness or fear. The more you go
out, the more people youll meet and the
better your chance to find someone with
whom you might spend the rest of your life.
Dont wince if your younger brother or
sister asks you out. Lighten up and
accept the invitation. The
worst thing to do is to
stay at home.
The roots of our interest in kissing can be found in the pre-puberty stages: For example:
I love you! I think youre
wonderful.
Do you really
love me?
From my autograph book:
Apart from their rather silly verses about kissing, one more stupidity is characteristic of people not
yet in puberty instead of kissing those they like, they beat them usually on the head!
In contrast to the aforementioned population, adolescent people have a much more constructive
attitude towards kissing, more experience and hence also more mature and coherent answers.
For example:
From my autograph book:
Question: Have you ever kissed anyone like
they do in the movies, tongue and all?
Responses:
1. Lots of times!
6. I stopped counting after the hundredth time!
7. Not yet, but I cant wait!
10. Why do you ask when you know?
12. Not on your life, I dont want to catch mono!
13. /
15. None of your business.
20. Go and ask Jenny from 4C.
21. Yes.
54
ADVICE: In order for you and your loved one to enjoy kissing each other, you should maintain
oral hygiene. This means washing your teeth regularly, visiting the dentist and using mouth-wash.
We shouldnt even mention alcohol and cigarettes. Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray!
Caressing and making out together with kissing represents foreplay (see next
chapter). While kissing is done with the lips and tongue, caressing is done with the
hands and fingers. Some people prefer kissing, some touching and stroking, yet others like a
combination of the two. In all three cases, we recommend that you proceed slowly, step by step.
Question: What do you feel when
French-kissing?
Responses:
1. A prickling sensation on my tongue.
6. A hard-on.
7. Regrettably, I still dont know.
9. You can describe it better than I can.
12. Nothing!!!
13. /
15. I cannot describe it.
20. I get hot.
21. If you only knew!

Now let us turn another

chapter Sex!
WARNING:
Areas most frequently touched:
The breasts and genitals of your
girlfriend Areas never touched: The
breasts and genitals of someone
elses girlfriend.
DONT FORGET: Caressing makes sense
only when both sides enjoy it. If that is not
the case, talk to each other and try to find out
what is blocking your pleasure.
NOTE: The more relaxed the partners, the better the ultimate result. By ultimate result, we
dont mean just sexual intercourse and orgasm, but also mutual closeness, tenderness and joy.
A carnal game involving touching, caressing, kissing and embracing is also a spiritual game.
Enjoy the wonder of your body and freedom of your soul and youll know exactly when and what
you should or shouldnt do.
Sometimes making out requires a special atmosphere, a partly or even better completely dark
room, soft music and a partner, of course. But sometimes just the last item is sufficient.

PETTING
W
A
I
T
!
!
Petting has many good sides.
Among other things, it allows
inexperienced young people who
are virgins to be intimate with their
partners yet not commence full
sexual relations until they feel they
are ready for them. It virtually
eliminates all risk of pregnancy
and sexually transmitted disea-
ses. It can be very stimulating and
inspiring, if both partners are
willing to experiment.
Before you embark on petting,
ask yourselves the following
questions:
What are my expectations?
Where are the boundaries?
What after?
Petting has just one
hortcoming it isnt
intercourse!
Petting at the same time is and isnt sex. Includes everything we have already talked
about (kissing, caressing, touching, masturbation) but does not include what we are
yet to mention (sexual intercourse, pregnancy).
Sex before marriage was very much frowned upon in the past. This forced couples to let off their
sexual tension by joining forces, by mutual self-gratification, or external intercourse. In todays
world, most young people have no fear of premarital sex and even consider it beneficial, but
luckily do have a fear of AIDS. The amorous practices of our grandparents are thus coming back
into vogue, but with another name.
Why is Sex So Attractive?
60
Foreplay is the introduction to sexual relations. Like any sport, it has its rules.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: two
RULE: Can begin several hours
before the actual game. We
recommend a dinner for two, a
romantic walk or a tender phone
conversation. Mutual support,
endearment and smiling are
desirable. Soft touching and
caressing, passionate embraces and
hot kisses make the players more
relaxed, and the game more exciting.
Whispering and teasing contribute to
raising sexual tension.
NOTE: Any mention of school
and homework is has a counter
productive effect.
NOTE: Foreplay allows everything that the players consent to mutually.
SCORING: Taking off your clothes doubles your score, and triples it if you take off your
shoes.
DURATION OF PLAY: Unlimited. Determined by the players. Foreplay is sometimes so
short one asks oneself if it happened at all; on other occasions one wonders if sex will ever
happen. The duration is generally determined by the male half. The more excited he is, the
shorter the game, and vice versa. The female player usually needs more time to relax hence get
aroused. But the more aroused the fair sex, the more involved they are.
ADVICE: Coordinate the play during the game the better the unity in the team, the more
certain is a win.
TARGET: Sexual intercourse.
WARNING: When one player says NO, play is suspended at once. In the event of insults,
denigration, angry looks, threats or physical violence, the game ends and a drama begins.
OBSERVATION: If youve skipped over Chapter One and begun reading this book from
here, you dont seem to be an aficionado of foreplay. Youre only interested in concrete matters.

TRADITIONAL SEXUAL
INTERCOURSE begins the
moment the moment the
male sex organ penetrates
the female sex organ. For that
to happen, the male sex
organ must become harder
and bigger than usual (see
page 102). The sexual
organs are in contact with
each other, body movements
pick up pace, which
increases sexual tension, until
the moment of orgasm (see
page 67). Sexual intercourse
is over after the moment of
orgasm. If and when the
entire cycle will be repeated
depends on external factors,
internal needs and the sexual
capacities of the partners.
NOTE: Some males, but also a small number
of women, dont know that the female urethra (the
tube through which urine is excreted) is quite
separate from the vagina (the recipient of the
male sexual organ during intercourse). Besides,
the male sex organ is much wider than the urethra
and it is not possible to make a mistake.
Here are some examples:
EXAMPLE No. 1:
What a woman! When I turn off the light,
shes a killer!
are the main reason why you bought this book. You dont need to
blush, everythings OK! We understand you and we support you.
Full speed ahead! Just think how we felt while we were writing and drawing! So what exactly is
sexual intercourse?
Sexual intercourse, making love, humping, screwing,
banging, bonking
EXAMPLE No. 3:
His arm was sliding down her
sweaty body. He was just touching
her ample bosom when she
whispered:
Darling, youre my first!
He trembled with excitement. His
penis soared high. He looked at her
as if to say:
Are you ready?
Her smile was the reply:
Yes, dear!
He placed his sex between her hot
thighs. Glowing embers flowed
through their bodies. They were one
for the millionth time. After living
together for 19 years, they still
played their secret game Darling,
youre my first! and they were
happy.
EXAMPLE No. 2:
Everyone else had gone long ago, and
we lay alone on the sand. First we
talked for a long time, and then began
to caress each other. He was gentle
and caring. As he kissed me, I felt my
whole body trembling with electricity.
The sounds of soft music were flowing
down the beach from the nearby hotel.
I wanted to make love more than
anything else in the world. I told him,
and he whispered in my ear that he
loved me and wanted me like no one
ever before. Our bodies melted into
one. It was wonderful. Waves lapped
our feet and the stars sent kisses from
above as we made love. The next
morning he went with me to the
station. He gave me his address and I
gave him my necklace. I dont know
how Ill stand the waiting for next
summer to come!
EXAMPLE No. 4:
The night was warm and quiet. The only sound was an owl
hooting from time to time. She stood on her balcony with
her hair down and in her bare feet. She waited for him
atremble and more beautiful than ever before. When the
clock struck midnight, he appeared in the garden. He
walked around the rose-bed and scaled the ivy. She threw
herself into his arms. Their lips met, and she forgot the
wedding that was take her into the arms of another man the
next day. He ripped off her nightdress with a single move,
the moon shining on her milky skin and lithe body. He lifted
her and carried her to the bed. He cast off his clothes and
lay beside her. Her skin was soft and tender. He caressed
her budding breasts as her hand slid towards his belly.
They made love for the last time. As they were at the height
of their pleasure, she cried out, heart-broken:
My darling, if only you were a cook, and not the groom!
IN PREPARATION:
Sex on Roller Skates
(with foreplay via mobile phone)
63
Id like to add a few words. Sex can lead to
impregnation, or pregnancy. Impregnation is the
process in which the sperm links up with the egg cell.
During every sex act, a huge number of
spermatozoa enter the uterus, but
only one manages to penetrate the
egg cell waiting for it in a Fallopian
tube. We call this impregnation. That is
when the development of a child
begins and God forbid if you are
under-age (see page 82).
All right. A spermatozoon is capable
of impregnating an egg-cell in a
period of 48 after leaving the
mans body. An egg-cell can remain
fertile for three or four days at
most. If no fertile egg-cell exists,
the sperm all die. After a bit of
time, they are simply expelled from
the womans body, and the
unimpregnated egg-cell does the
same, during menstruation. If a
couple does not want pregnancy to
take place, they need to apply one
or more means of contraception
(see page 78).
If you consider this practice, I
wonder what you define as theory?!
Sexual relations usually
take place for the following
reasons:
a) curiosity
b) boredom
c) coercion
d) loneliness
e) revenge
f) fun
g) gain,
and above everything else:
h) love.
We differentiate between two types of sexual relations: the film
kind and the common kind. The film kind can
only been seen in films. Its main characteristic
is that it features a handsome male lead and a
gorgeous female companion. Apart from the
protagonists themselves, viewers are
fascinated by their poses, speed, dexterity,
dialogues before, during and after sex
and the usually earthshaking orgasmic
experience. Common sexual relations are
defined as all those that arent of the
cinematic kind. They may be less
attractive, but they are genuine.
64
Sexual relations can take place between:
persons of different sexes heterosexual relations, and
persons of the same sex homosexual relations
(see pages 72 and 73).
Why dont you give
us a practical
example, youre
stifling us with
theory!
My dear girls, learn to say NO
whenever you mean NO. NO is
particularly important on a first
date. However bright the
moonlight and however irresistible
he might be, I dont advise you to
have sex before you really get to
know each other.
However important NO is for the
fair sex, it is just important for
men. Only after you have learned to
say NO will your YES acquire true
strength and meaning.
NO!
NO!
Say YES, Say NO many people, especially young people, begin sexual relations
without knowing exactly why they are doing so. Some cannot express in words
what they feel for their partner, others long for some tenderness, yet others fear they might be
dumped of they refuse to go to bed with someone Some (but not very many) actually yearn
for sex, yet always say NO. At first sight, agreeing to have sex is a matter of the body. But it is a
much more complex problem. It involves a mental, emotional, social and ethical decision all in
one. That is why you need to be precise. It isnt all the same if you say YES and mean NO, and
vice versa. It confuses both yourself and your partner, and it also confuses the writers of this
book.
65
66
Erogenous zones body parts with numerous nerve endings. You can recognise
erogenous zones by the fact that caressing them induces especial pleasure. The usual
erogenous zones are: the mouth, breasts (particularly nipples), the nape of your neck, the inner
and upper thighs, and of course the genitals. Lesser known erogenous zones are: you really
want to have everything served on a platter! A little work on your own wouldnt be amiss!
Mutual exploration is even more useful and interesting. In this way the partners can find each
others erogenous zones easily and strengthen their link. Erogenous zones change with the
passage of time and change of partner. What gave exceptional pleasure during sex with one
partner may not be so to a new one. But a new partner can also reveal new pleasures.
NOTE: It isnt important just what you touch, but also how. Some people like
gentleness and subtlety, while others prefer strength and firmness. Everything is OK, as
long as it is acceptable to both partners.
Why is sex mysterious?
67
Orgasms can be of the
film kind and the common
kind (just like sex).
Simultaneous orgasm is
mainly confined to the
cinema. Faked orgasms
exist in real life just like
they exist in films, while
problems with erection
appear only in real life.
A womans orgasm takes many more
and different forms than the male
orgasm, and is therefore the
subject of much more study by
scientists (and others). In the
past, women were expected only
to bear children. Sexual pleasure
wasnt just undesirable, it was held
to be disgraceful, or even a sin.
These views existed mainly in
Western civilisation. Some other
cultures treated the woman as the
most wonderful thing in the world
and sex as a gift and the joy of
living. Womens position in society
has changed enormously, and
taking pleasure in sex has become
a right for women fully equal
to that enjoyed by
men.
ADVICE: Relax, play with each other, prepare contraception, make love, and, most
importantly of all, turn off your brain completely. The brains role was completed in the do I want
to have sex phase. Philosophising, dispensing advice and wit during sex isnt at all conducive
to orgasm and is enjoyed even less by your partner. Should orgasm not take place, for any
reason whatsoever so what, its neither the first nor the last time that happened!
His Highness the Orgasm the most exciting yet shortest phase of sex. The
crown of sexual relations. Its imperial appearance is attended by a number of different
changes: an indescribable feeling of warmth, heavy breathing, an accelerated heartbeat, muscle
spasms, contraction of the uterus, ejaculation of sperm, sometimes loud noises, sighing and
moaning, creaking of the bed, awakening family members and neighbours etc. What makes the
orgasm different from everything else is the feeling of total satisfaction, not just in the genital
area, but the entire body. It is followed by a feeling of relief and relaxation. Besides giving
satisfaction, the orgasm is also responsible for procreation (see page 76). If it didnt exist, we
wouldnt be here. It is the male orgasm that is of decisive importance a woman can get
pregnant even without feeling the slightest tinge of pleasure.
VIRGIN:
Everyone except me has
already done it!
Whats the
rush?
VIRGIN:
I dont want to miss
The Simpsons!
68
Virgini ty once a great virtue for girls, but
today a major pain. Although
mothers are still busily injecting panic into their
daughters hearts about their first sexual relations.
Many girls await the penetration of their hymen*
with great trepidation.
* The hymen, or maidenhead, is tissue covering
the entrance to the vagina. When the male sexual
organ enters the vagina during the girls first sexual
experience, it penetrates the hymen, causing a
temporary pain and bleeding. The pain isnt strong,
and the problem of the blood can be solved by
placing a towel under you. Sometimes girls can
even split their hymen before their first sexual
experience. There are even girls who have no
hymen, while those of others may be so flexible
that there is no bleeding during penetration.
The first time is always the most important it
causes excitement, trepidation but also a great
feeling of joy. Every first date, kiss, going on
holidays without your parents is remembered
for all time. A second and a third are never as
exciting, and is thus easier to forget or confuse
with a fourth or fifth. The same goes for sex. First
loves are never forgotten
Full enjoyment of sex requires love, adulthood,
spontaneity, experience, an empty flat, a candle-lit
dinner for two, drinks, a fire in the fireplace (not in
summertime!) soft music, a comfortable bed, a
bathroom at hand, and, most importantly of all a
loved one. This means that you need everything that
you dont have and will not have in the very near
future. So what then do you want?
69
Have you found any of you fears in the list
above? Is it easier now that you know
others also have various fears? Is it perhaps
even more difficult for you now that we have
given you ideas for fresh fears?
ABSOLUTE RUBISHH: The (mythical)
belief that you cannot get pregnant during
your first sexual experience!!! YOU CAN!
PRACTICE HAS SHOWN: The first time
is sometimes drawn out into three or four
episodes when the time for sex comes, the
partners postpone it for some other first time.
This usually happens to persons of a similar
age, who are too caring, patient and
oversensitive with each other.
Please dont rush into things, my dears. Sex requires matureness
and a level head. Your FIRST TIME must take place only when you are
completely ready, both physically and mentally, when you have a
condom at hand and other contraceptives near by. In spite of all
urgings and warnings for or against, your motto should be Whenever
it happens, it will be welcome.
SAVET: Ukoliko si pred prvi seksualni odnos napet/a i nervozan/na

A WARNING FOR THE FAIR SEX:
Dont expect too much from your first
sexual experience, because you arent very
likely to get much, especially if it is also the
first time for your partner. Your attention is
spread among many sides, you are
passing through new experiences, your
feelings are too string yet you wouldnt
mind if you had an orgasm. But miracles
do take place sometimes you could be
one of the lucky few. You never know.
A WARNING FOR THE MALE SEX:
Dont expect too much from your first
sexual experience, because you arent
very likely to get much, especially if it is
also the first time for your partner. Expect
problems with your erection, clumsy
insertion into her vagina, premature
ejaculation but dont expect fiery sex
and an earthshaking orgasm. The best
route to it is true love for your loved one.
Losing your virginity is called losing your cherry.
Posi tions the various positions in which you can make
love. We shall list here the best and least known:
The best known positions:
1) he on top 2) she on top
4) doggie style
3) sitting down
5) from behind
6) standing up
7) he wants,

The least known positions:
NOTE: If you havent understood sexual positions as acrobatic or athletic skills, youre
on the right road. In that case youll certainly not take oral sex to mean talk about sex.

Oral sex stimulating the
genitals with your tongue and mouth.
Can be one-sided or mutual. Some
love oral sex, some detest it. Some are
scandalised, some astounded, and
some indifferent. What is your
opinion? We believe that there are
neither right or wrong things in sex.
Whatever you consent to mutually,
whatever you both like and enjoy
that is the right thing. There are only
two rules in sex: 1) there are no rules,
and 2) there may not be any coercion.
ADVICE: If your loved one does
not want to fulfil some desire of yours,
leave him/her alone. He/shell either
do it some other day or never but its
his/her decision!
71
This picture is here purely by accident and
has nothing to do with the text!
Well, all right! I see youre putting in a lot
of effort and are plagued by curiosity, so I
do need to say a few words. The anus, or
rectum, contains numerous nerve endings.
Stimulating it could cause pleasant feelings
both for men and women. This type of sex
requires a condom because of the large
number of germs inside the anus and the
possibility of contracting the HIV virus. But
anal sex can also be very painful and cause
bleeding. Enough for now and back to your
books! Youll learn when you grow up!
72
Anal sex well talk about it once youve improved your grades! Better to stick to the
traditional entrances and exits!
Homosexuals men who have sexual relations with other men. In many Western
countries, homosexuals live quite openly and even marry one another. There is talk about
allowing homosexuals being allowed to adopt children. Some people view this with
understanding and approval, some with less understanding, yet others with abhorrence.
Whatever anyone might think, there always have been and there always will be homosexuals.
The exact reason why some men are
homosexual remains unknown. In spite of
extensive scientific research, no one can
say with certainty why some men
prefer their male to their female
friends. Its just the way it is. If
their environment lambastes
and chastises them, they
dont change, they just go
underground. Like to be
called gays, rather than fags.
Boys in puberty often like to
show each other their sexual
organs, compare and
measure them, and even
masturbate together. This
need not be a sign of
homosexuality, but of natural
curiosity, testing, exploration and
competition.
A person with a healthy sex life
A person without a healthy sex life
Pleasure sex liberates your tension and produces great satisfaction. An adult person
with a healthy sex life is very different from one without a healthy sex life (see pictures).
Why is sex beneficial?
Lesbians women who fall in love with other
women, have relationships with them, live together and
have sexual relations. The same things that go for
homosexuals (see previous page) also go for
lesbians (also called female homosexuals).
Girls in puberty are usually very tender and
caring for one another. They often hold hands
when they walk and spend a lot of time
together. This also need not have anything to
do with lesbianism, but rather friendship,
confidence, closeness and allegiance.
Many people are bisexual. This means they can enjoy sex both with their own sex and the
opposite sex. But the majority of all people do pick someone of the opposite sex. This is
biologically the most favourable solution, as it ensures procreation.
If you have had sexual relations with a person of your own sex, this does not mean you are a
homosexual or a lesbian. You might view it as a test of sorts, training or preparation for future
heterosexual relations.
73
74
If you want to experience full
satisfaction in sex, you need to
know exactly what you want of
yourself and your partner. This is
not a simple thing, of course, but
one step at a time, no one was
born smart. I suggest that before
you begin sexual relations with
someone, you answer these
questions. You wont believe it, but
even that will give you satisfaction!
By assuming responsibility for their
actions, people become stronger,
more secure and happier.
Am I ready?
Who is the person with
whom I want to have sexual
relations?
Why and for what reasons
do I want to do it?
Where will we make love?
Am I in love?
What am I expecting?
What are the
consequences?
Which contraceptives will I
use to protect myself?
Pregnancy takes place if a woman has had sex
during her fertile days * without using
a contraceptive.
* For most women, they are the 14th, 15th and 16th days
after the beginning of their periods. This count is not
valid for women with irregular monthly cycles.
Pregnancy begins at the moment of conception (see
page 61) and ends with childbirth. Curious, and one
might say also inconsiderate, physicians peeked into
womens bodies and discovered that the fertilised
egg-cell divides into two, four, eight cells and so on
until it reaches a raspberry-sized complex from which
a human being then slowly and gradually develops in
a period of nine months. That is how pregnancy is
seen by doctors, and this is how we see it:
75
In the first few months
of pregnancy, the baby
may be small, but it
definitely isnt stupid, as
some think. It knows
exactly what is and what
isnt good for it.
For the entire duration
of the pregnancy, the
baby busily prepares to
face the outer world.
In the eighth month of
pregnancy, the baby is
already waiting for its stork
or cabbage leaf to take it
out into the world.
Finally, month nine, and
the long-awaited event:
CHILDBIRTH!
What Mum feels like
before she gives birth
Mum only knows What
she feels like after
giving birth, heaven
only knows!
76
Procreation is the biggest and most important benefit arising form sex.
BECAUSE: If our ancestors had not made love, we wouldnt be here today.
CONCLUSION: We mustnt stop making love, so that our descendants can continue being
born and multiplying..
Here are a few slogans:
MAKE LOVE,
NOT WAR!
PLEASE MR.
STORK, BRING ME
A BROTHER!
IF YOUR PARENTS

BETTER SEX

THE WHITE PLAGUE IS

FRUIT OF SEX!
AUTHORS NOTE: The best thing that could happen to a child would be for both parents to
care about it equally. But in the world we live in, the family has been neglected, in the true sense
of the word. If it exists at all, it survives for a relatively short time. In an effort to explain as well as
possible the importance of the family both for individuals and for society, we located a prominent
expert in family matters (my Gran). This is what she told us (or as long as we cared to listen):
The family is sacred. In my day and
age, the proper order was maintained: a
lad and a lass got married, and then got to
know each other. Children came at the very
end. Nowadays, the order is reversed first
the child, then they live together, and the
wedding is last, if it happens at all. I never
had it easy in life, but at least I always tried
to preserve my family. The young people of
today the minute they disagree on
something comes the divorce. They divide
their property, friends, relatives, children.
New linkages are made fast, women marry a
second (third, fourth) time and there are new
children. In some places it works, in some it
doesnt. Depends on the people involved
and their temperaments. The adultsdo
manage to create new lives for themselves
eventually, but it is the children who suffer.
Be wise and...
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: If you want to hear more, ask your own Gran.
Hygiene means washing you face, bathing or showering, combing you hair,
getting haircuts, manicures (hand and fingernail care), pedicures (foot and toenail care),
excess hair removal
(womens wax
treatments), shaving,
cleaning your teeth,
washing, ironing and
cycling your attire
regularly, cleaning your
shoes, airing out your
room and changing your
bedlinen, keeping your
room and also the rest of
your home tidy and
only then make-up,
hairdressing and
applying perfume.

Some people are reluctant to have sex with
others because they think their partners
cleanliness is suspect. I am happy to suggest
taking a bath together. Water is excellent for
foreplay, and also for genital hygiene.
Some people are reluctant to have sex because of
a fear of unwanted pregnancy or of contracting a
sexually-transmitted disease. I am more than happy
to suggest that you read the next chapter.
Reading it together could be very interesting, and
also very useful.
Contraceptives prevent unwanted conception during sex. They are of tremendous
importance for all those loath to rock a baby. But if you think your life would be better with a host
of problems, high stress levels, fears, traumas, hysterical outbursts and similar, then go ahead
and make love without protection, wherever and whom ever you want. Wait a while and your life
will begin going downhill. But if you do change your mind some day, talk to a youth counselor, a
gynecologist (see page 81) or an experienced person you trust.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never use the safe days as a method of contraception. Counting
and calculating your fertile days never did anyone of your age any good. Remember, safe
days do not exist!
Contraceptive
FATHER
79
Condom, or prophylactic
the best known,
most widespread and most
accessible contraceptive. So well
known and abundant that even little
children own some, although they
use it for a completely different
purpose throwing water balloons
at passers-by. Of course, what
interests us here is its primary
function. A condom is soft rubber
sheath placed on the penis to
prevent sperm from entering into the
vagina. Can be bought in
pharmacies, newsstalls and
supermarkets. Once it was purcha-
sed with a red face and while looking
over your shoulder, while nowadays
it is produced in various colours,
shapes, smells and sizes, and is
bought quite openly. Besides
preventing pregnancy, it is also
excellent protection from sexually
transmitted diseases and the HIV virus.
WARNING: A condom is not
always easy to put on, but is always
difficult to remove. You must be very
careful not to allow sperm to leak and
enter the vagina that could ruin all the
trouble youd gone to. Condoms past their sell-by date are also unsafe. They should not be kept in
warm places (pockets, wallets), as they will no longer be reliable. Condoms bought in
pharmacies are generally safer than those bought at newsstands. It follows from all the above that
condoms are reliable contraceptives, but not enough in themselves caution is always advised!
Oral contraceptives excellent contraceptives, provided the pills are taken properly
at the same time ever day (except for a one-week break).
RECOMMENDATION: Contraceptive pills are definitely not recommended for forgetful and
senile persons! All others may use them with an easy mind and have sex with no fear of unwanted
pregnancy. You need a prescription for them from your gynecologist.
Spirals contraceptives made of soft plastic materials. Inserted into the uterus and can stay
there for several years. More suitable for older women than for younger ones. May not be
inserted by a womans partner, but only by a doctor, during menstruation, when the cervix is the
softest and the insertion painless. Spirals are very reliable contraceptives.
CORRECT USE
INCORRECT
USE
80
Chaps, during sex your penis
cannot get entangled in a
spiral. Dont worry, youll
never even feel it.
Ladies, from time to time you need to
visit your gynecologist, who will check
whetherthe spirals all right, whether
it might have fallen out it doesnt
happen often, but it is possible.
Foams, creams, jellies and AB cream can be obtained without a prescription.
Inserted into the vagina ten minutes before every sexual intercourse, which can be
an interesting part of foreplay for the couple. Not fully reliable and should be used in parallel with
another contraceptive method.
IT ISNT TRUE that unwanted
sperm can be removed with a shower or
thorough wash immediately after sex.
Pregnancy cannot be avoided in this
way!
IT ISNT TRUE that the (in)famous
coitus interruptus represents protection
from pregnancy. Most men ejaculate
before they withdraw their penises.
Quite often an orgasms will surprise a
man, so that he is unable to keep his
firm promise.
IT ISNT TRUE that having sex
standing up will prevent pregnancy. The
story that sperm cannot swim uphill is
as true as the myth that they always run
downhill.
The gynecologist a medical expert, a man or a woman with a Ph.D. in medical
science and specialist training. This role may on no account be assuemd by your
best friend, who read somewhere that you should A gynecologist performs gynecological
examinations and renders expert opinions, determines necessary therapy, advises, helps
maintain pregnancies, helps in childbirth This all points to a very
friendly and confidential
relationship between a woman
and her gynecologist. At least
thats the way its supposed to
be. Many women
are terrified of their
gynecologists and
avoid visiting
them for years,
even decades.
ADVICE:
Have a bath, get dressed and go and see your doctor.
Does this
refer to you,
my dear?
Of course
not.
Urologist a medical specialist who handles the diseases of the male genitourinary tract.
In spite of all their work, urologists are never as popular as gynecologists. Youll admit you
seldom hear anyone being in terror of visiting a urologist. Does this mean that men are generally
more courageous?
Psychologist also holds an important post in this section. Many sexual problems and
psychological rather than physical in character. Sometimes a single discussion
with a psychologist is enough to turn an adolescents life 180 degrees (for the better, of course!).
So if something troubles you go and see a psychologist an hour spent talking to a psychologist
is worth more than days and weeks spent with various Agony Aunts.

Abortion termination of a pregnancy. In contrast to a miscarriage, which happened by
itself, abortion is a forcible removal of the foetus (embryo of the baby). Abortion is among the
darker sides of sex, especially for women. The younger the woman, the darker the abortion. If it
is carried out by an incompetent person, then it becomes a nightmare. If an abortion is carried
out in the early months of pregnancy (until the 12th week), its relatively safe. Later than that and
it could threaten a womens physical or mental health, and even her life. Abortions are never
carried out in the last three months of pregnancy.
REASON FOR ABORTION: Unwanted
pregnancy
CONSEQUENCES OF ABORTION: fear,
traumas and a risk of permanent sterility
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: finding
out youre pregnant* as early as possible
THE STUPIDEST THING: trying to
conceal your pregnancy
THE MOST DIFFICULT THING: Telling
your mother!
JUST AS DIFFICULT: Telling your father!
THE MOST DANGEROUS THING:
having an abortion after the third month
EVEN MORE DANGEROUS: Expecting
incompetent persons to help you
THE MOST NAVE THING: Consulting
with friends, neighbours, younger sisters and
people of a similar level of competence
THE SMARTEST THING: going to a youth
counseling centre or a gynecologist for
information about contraception
THE BEST THING THAT COULD
HAPPEN: Never having an abortion.
What are the darker sides of sex?
* You know you are pregnant: when youve missed your period, suffer from morning sickness and
vomiting and crave for vinegary foods, when your pregnancy test comes out positive, when your
gynecologist says so
If reading this section has made you pause for thought, this means youre a mature and responsible
person. If this section made you laugh, you should ask yourself what sort of bozo you are. If this
section was boring and incomprehensible, put away the book and go back to your Barbie dolls.
83
Sexually-transmi tted or Venereal diseases a very dark side of
sex. If you try to treat them by yourself, or by relying on laymens advice, they only get
even darker and more dangerous.
TYPES OF DISEASES: syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, vaginitis
SYMPTOMS: may be very different,
depending on the affliction. Itching, redness,
swellings, a prickling sensation, secretions
TRANSMISSION: Easy and fast
HOW: Sexual relations
TREATMENT: Lengthy and tedious
PROTECTION: Condoms
PREVENTION: Avoiding sexual relations if
one of the partners suspects the existence of
a sexually transmitted disease
RISKS: Frequent change of partner and poor
hygiene
DELUSIONS: It only happens to others; itll
go away by itself
ESPECIALLY NEGATIVE: Its a major
bother and also a great disgrace
ESPECIALLY POSITIVE: Nothing
Those that understand how dangerous sexually-transmitted diseases are may read on. The
others should re-read this section until they comprehend it fully. Now go on.
Aids the darkest side of sex, so dark that its
an absolute nightmare.
AIDS CANNOT BE CURED, its FATAL.
AIDS sufferers usually DIE in great pain.
Members of the following groups have a bigger
than average risk of contracting the HIV virus:
HAEMOPHILIACS, DRUG ADDICTS, HOMO-
SEXUALS AND PROMISCUOUS PERSONS
(those who often change partners in sex)
Transmitted through the BLOOD or SEXUAL
RELATIONS.
The best protection: CONDOMS and FIDELITY of
the partners.
TO MAKE SURE YOUD READ THIS
SECTION AT LEAST TWICE, WE
DIDNT SAVE ON PAPER. YOU
SHOULD NOW HOW SERIOUS
AIDS REALLY IS.
Aids the darkest side of sex, so dark that its
an absolute nightmare.
AIDS CANNOT BE CURED, its FATAL.
AIDS sufferers usually DIE in great pain.
Members of the following groups have a bigger
than average risk of contracting the HIV virus:
HAEMOPHILIACS, DRUG ADDICTS, HOMO-
SEXUALS AND PROMISCUOUS PERSONS
(those who often change partners in sex)
Transmitted through the BLOOD or SEXUAL
RELATIONS.
The best protection: CONDOMS and FIDELITY of
the partners.
ADVISABLE: Spreading the word
about AIDS
TRIED AND TESTED: God
protects those who protect
themselves!
Sexual violence sexual contacts to
which one person has not consented
voluntarily of knowingly, or has consented
under duress. Sexual violence is far more
widespread than you might think. Its victims
are usually reluctant to talk about their bad
experiences. They are afraid of a feeling of
guilt or shame, condemnation or adverse
comments, revenge by their assailant, shame
on their whole family
COMPULSORY: If, God forbid, something
like this happens to you, you must
immediately tell a person you trust about it.
Without showering or washing yourself, go
to your Gynecologist at once, and only then
to the police.
OF COURSE: You mustnt invent anything
that didnt really happen!
Rape sexual relations carried out
without the consent of one person. Usually
attended by physical violence, brutality,
slapping across the face, crying and fear.
Rape can inflict both physical and mental
consequences on its victims. It is usually an
expression of anger, demonstration of force or
an act of humiliation rather than an attempt to
achieve sexual satisfaction. Its victims can be
both female and male. It is punishable by law.
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN
CURE:
Avoid dark and lonely places!
Always carry a flashlight, Mace or siren!
Avoid inflaming male passions if youre
not willing to have sex!
Stay out of the cars and flats of people you
dont know!
Be as sober and careful as possible!
84
ADDITION I: Rape can also be committed
by someone you know a friend, boyfriend,
husband, teacher or eve a family member
(see the next section)
ADDITION II: If you see any suspicious
individuals hanging around your school,
you must immediately inform a teacher, the
headmaster, a parent or the nearest police
station.
Incest sexual violence within a family,
perpetrated by next of kin, a stepfather,
stepmother or more distant relatives. If
children are involved, they are usually
compelled to keep it secret. Children usually
succumb because they are terror-stricken and
ashamed. They fear that they wont be
believed, that they will be punished or that the
sexual violence will spread to other family
members. Both the aggressor and the victims
can be male or female. It is sometimes difficult
to distinguish between incest and simple
closeness and love between relatives.
Pedophiliaor child abuse means sexual
relations between a child and an
older person not related to the child. Like the
other forms of sexual violence, its consequen-
ces for the children are very negative. Pedop-
hilia sometimes also involves prostitution.
85
In case some old geezer starts blowing in
your face, staring at your bosom, stroking
your leg or God forbid even shoving his
hand into your panties, dont be scared
and lose your wits, but scream off the top
of your head: Help! Police!
Help! If the maniac is by
some chance a
person who is close
to you, scream
even louder!
You must never fall for statements like this
one Dont tell anyone about this, let it
be our little secret! or Tell anyone a
word and youll regret it! Find an adult
you trust and do the exact opposite!
Part III
Around Sex
89
While kids are small, adults love to
teach them to swear. They are
even rewarded with applause,
laughter or even money. But as
soon as the kids break away and
start to expand their language on
their own, adults begin punishing
them not only banning the use
of profanity, but even discussing
it. If only they themselves never
cussed!
...which is definitely
not good.
Swearing and bad language frequently heard from adolescents, who have an
ardent need to both utter and write them. Usually demonstrate their bad language
in public or forbidden places...
Is i t good or bad?
90
Erotica literature or art dealing with
sexual love. Usually causes a red face, a
quicker heartbeat, slight nervousness and
sexual arousal, but also shame, unease and
confusion. Nudity is not a compulsory part
of erotica. Eroticism can also exist in fully
clothed persons.
MESSAGE FOR A LOVED ONE:
Please be erotic and write me a love
poem. If it goes well, go ahead and write
an entire collection of poems, publish it
and dedicate it to me, of course! Very
grateful in advance, Yours !
INFORMATION: Erotic materials can
be found at news-stands, in video rentals
but also in museums, libraries,
cinemas, exhibitions...
IF YOU DIDNT KNOW: Erotics
write love poems.
Well said, but
please also
explain how we
can reach the
bounds of
decency. By
foot, car or
ship? By the
way, how far
are they from
the town
centre?
Well, its individual.
Just like sexuality.
One and the same
thing may be
taboo for some
and an everyday
thing for others.
The best thing is
that we all follow
our own discretion
and decide what
we like and dont
like. So take things
into your own
hands and get
to work.
Pornography
spreading debauchery and
obscenity by depicting naked
and seminaked men and
women. In contrast with erotic
materials, which focus on the
aesthetic side, pornography is
interested in only one thing
openly showing male and
female genitals and sexual
relations, usually provoking
redness in the face, a quicker
heartbeat, high anxiety and
sexual arousal, but sometimes
also horror, shock and revulsion.
INFORMATION: As pornog-
raphy is banned to persons under
the age of 18, we wont try to
explain how you can get access
to it, although you can find it
everywhere (see the corner
news-stand).
IF YOU DIDNT KNOW:
A pornographer is a writer or artist creating
works depicting debauchery, especially in the
lives of harlots.
91
Prosti tution derived from the
Latin word prostitutio and means
debauchery and selling ones body for
money. Calling prostitution the worlds
oldest profession isnt unfounded, as it
existed as such in the time of the
ancient Greeks and Romans.
Today prostitution is more widespread
than ever. In some countries it has
been legalised. But regardless of the
law, it seems impossible to eradicate.
Prostitutes often transmit venereal
disease and the HIV virus. Its a very
hard and risky profession. Male
prostitutes are called gigolos.
Prostitutes are generally called
whores, hookers.
BUTCHER
92
Peeping Tom Secretly watches
people making love, while
hiding behind bushes or through keyholes
until hes driven off. Sometimes content with
just watching, but sometimes also
masturbates. Being a Peeping Tom is
definitely not commendable.
Exhibi tionist a man or a woman who
loves to be watched by others more than
anything else in the world. Present themselves
to the world in a dressed or undressed state,
depending on the level of exhibitionism. The
best known exhibitionist is a flasher, a person
who puts on an overcoat with nothing under it,
hangs around dark corners and waits for
innocent victims, whom he then ambushes by
jumping out in front of them and opening his
overcoat, sometimes making a frightening or
at least a stupid face at the same time. Being
an exhibitionist is just as
commendable as being a
Peeping Tom.
NOTE: When
partners in sex
take off their
clothes and look
at each other,
they arent
being
exhibitionists
or perverts.
On the contrary,
their action is
stimulating.
Orgies sex with more than two people involved. See picture.
NOTE: Peeping Toms and
flashers are not dangerous as
such, but meeting them is
not pleasant. If it
happens to you,
ignore them or
threaten to call the
police and
go home
at once.
93
Tal king about Sex
We divided this chapter into two parts so as to impress you with our knowledge and studious
approach. There are two types of myths:
ancient sexual myths, and:
contemporary sexual myths.
Ancient sexual myths
OEDIPUS unwittingly
killed his own father and
married his own mother, and,
worst of all, had four children
with her. When they found out
their mistake, the mother killed
herself at once, while Oedipus
first blinded himself and then
killed himself. The Oedipus
complex is the subject of
numerous works of art and
literature, but also family
quarrels.
SODOM AND I GOMO-
RRAH Biblical cities of sin
and debauchery burned down
in sulphur and tar. Located at
the site of todays Dead Sea
(that should make everything
clear!). Sodomy is anal or oral
sex. It is also copulation with
animals. No one doing that can
be called clever or normal.
NARCISSUS a youth
who saw his image in a lake
and fell in love with it, gradually
wasting away and finally dying
from unfulfilled desire after
himself (what a geek!). The
gods later turned his body into
the flower called after him.
Today we say someone is
narcissistic when he or she is
self-centred and obsessed with
his own physical or mental
attributes.
WARNING: If your name is
Narcissus, avoid looking at
yourself in the mirror too often
and too long.
94
Contemporary sexual myths
Marjorie, what
do you say to
the idea that
we two collect
all our myths
and publish
them. Do you
like my idea?
No!
Dear So and So,
Please help me! I am beside myself with fright. Our
class was on a hiking trip on Saturday. We walked for
three hours and I was so tired I almost collapsed.
When we reached the top, I sat down on a rock. A
friend told me that minutes before a boy called Jack
from another form had sat on the rock and that I was
probably pregnant. At first I though she was
pulling my leg, but as time passes it looks
more and more as if she was right. I
dont feel too well and my
stomach has been growing.
Jill
Dear Jill,
Your question will be answered by
our pregnancy expert once shes
returned from maternity leave. Until
then, please go on a diet!
The editor
Am I pregnant? a question often seen in
READERS COLUMNS. Youve probably
seen many already, and perhaps even written one.
Marjorie, do
you remember
when you...
No I dont, and
will you stop
interrupting me
all the time!
Coming nine times in a row
is the dream of every male. As
youngsters they dream about it, in their prime
they work at it, and in their old age talk they about
it. Their boyhood dream turns into an eternal
dream. Lets hear a tragic story proving the point.
When I first heard about the record, I was ten. It
was accomplished by a certain Tom Jones from
7c. Well, Tom was quite a bit older than we were
because hed flunked a year twice. During his
record-breaking attempt, he held before him the
photograph of an unknown blonde (undressed)
lying on a tiger skin (artificial). His
accomplishment took place before two witnesses
whod previously taken an oath. Since then I have
been trying to break Toms record. In the past 39
years I have never been able to go past ONE. Ill
be turning 50 tomorrow. I have decided to
officially stop trying. Nine times in a row only
Tom Jones could have done something like that.
Recently I heard that Tom moved to Australia and that his son can do it ten times in a row.
Sexual stimulants or aphrodisiacs serve to boost sexual potency.
Sometimes taken of ones own free will, but more often without ones knowledge*. There are
many types of aphrodisiacs, but the best known is called Spanish Fly.
*usually put secretly into a drink.
Have you heard the story about the girl who had a sexual stimulant put in her drink without her
knowledge? Read on.
There once was a young girl (who we think is probably pretty old by now) who went out
one night with a lad (whom we think she didnt know too well). They sat and talked and
everything was fine, until she went to powder her nose, and the lad put an aphrodisiac into
her drink (probably quite a strong one). As they sat down in the car (he was taking her
home, we guess), the drug began to hit her. She got randier and randier and barely
managed to contain herself. When she could no longer restrain
herself, she jumped straight on to the gear-stick!
MORAL: Dont go out with people you dont
know! Dont go to the bathroom, and if you must,
take your drink with you. Fall for the boy, not the
gear-stick!
Many people believe eating honey and walnuts enhance sexual
prowess! NO ONE WHO IS NORMAL
BELIEVES that alcohol, tobacco and drugs
boost potency!
95
Pant, pant...
96
Spouses were once chosen by parents under the following pretext:
Were older and thus wiser, which means that we know better than you do what is
good for you. How can a child of 16 or 17 know whether its better to buy a plot of arable land or
an orchard? Weddings were scheduled only after the two sides relatives had reached
agreement on moveable and immovable property (provided a row hadnt broken out in the
meantime). In many cases the bride and groom met for the very first time at their wedding.
Surprises were many, usually unpleasant. You can just imagine how perplexed the newly-weds
were during their first night!!
NOWADAYS: Parents no longer pick our future wives or husbands we now have to make
the wrong choice ourselves!
Marjorie, let me tell you
how on your first night
you
Maybe, but let me then tell
YOU how on your
honeymoon
All right, all right, perhaps
its better is we went on to
the next section at once!
Dont you dare touch me!
Who do you
take me for?
Get away from me!
You should be ashamed
of yourself!
Ill call mother!
Get out!
Take you hands
off me!
Nothing before we're married, in other words:
Sex Through History
97
Sentences like these were uttered by this and similar girls who wanted to give their future
husbands their chastity (see page 68), besides their dowry*. Their first sexual relation took place
during their wedding night. The brides mother-in-law established whether she was a virgin or not
by inspecting the bed-sheets the next morning.
* the property which a woman brings to her husband at marriage.
Chasti ty belt means Sit
and wait for me, Ill be back when the
time for it comes! While her husband
was away on his business, a wife could
do pretty much everything (knit, sew,
weave, stitch, clean, wash, iron..)
except have sex. Her genital area was
locked up, and thus forgotten.
I wont weep over the sad fate of us
women. And neither will I stoop to
calling men male chauvinist pigs. That
would mean entering into be a vicious
circle which is difficult to leave. Male-
female relations are far too complex
in their simplicity. It isnt easy to be
both happy and right. But lets leave
that subject for another time!
A word or two about infidelity. I know very well
what its like when you fall in love. Its wonderful,
but some things have to be respected. Before you
begin a new romantic and sexual relationship, have
the courtesy to break off the old one. Is it easier
to cheat on someone than to break up??
We have three different tests for you:
1. Recogni tion and
Familiarisation
2.Clothes On and
Clothes Off
3.True or False
Getting everything right in each tests
wins you ten points. For partially
correct answers you get five points,
and zero if you get it wrong. Add up
the points, multiply by two, subtract
from the age in years of the oldest
reader and divide by your
grandfathers shoe size. Readers with
the highest scores will be awarded
this special DIPLOMA:
You have to admit that you know many more things now than you did 98
pages ago. We tried to answer some questions, forget some altogether,
and open up some. You have to find the answer to them by yourself, as
you will never grow up if you avoid gaining personal experience.
Remember, though, that open questions require open dialogue. Chin
up high and full speed ahead! Read, look at things and people,
uncover and cover things...Take your life in your hands, put
some sense in your head, a condom in your pocket and make
your way to the exit. But before we give each other a good-
bye kiss, we need to do one more thing:

TYPES:
THE ICEBERG difficult to warm up, but cools
very rapidly. Has nothing against sex, but sees
nothing going for it, either. During normal sex,
yawns and studies the chandelier. Her
strongest weapon is the icy look with which
she can instantly freeze a man fired up to
melting point. Favourite saying: Freeze and
Rule! Favourite excuse: headache.
CLEVER BOOTS knows everything about
everything, including sex (only theory, of
course). The most ardent of the species think
all men are pigs and should not be offered
pearls (while thinking of themselves). Spends
her entire life waiting for a prince on a white
horse to ring her door bell. Likes reading,
doing crossword puzzles and telling jokes
about blondes.
HORNY HERBERT knows for his extensive
porn and erotica collection. Often hangs
around nude beaches and sex shops. Given
his profound knowledge of the female
anatomy and psyche, often approached for
advice. Likes to throw comments at girls,
measure them up, stare and inspect, squeeze
and pinch, and exaggerate everything.
LOONY TUNE very interesting when he was
young, extremely boring in his old age. A
species which differs from others in everything
behaviour, clothes, hairstyle, favourite music,
parties, girls. RULE: The more he diverges
from real life, the shorter and less attractive is
sex with him.
1. Recogni tion and Familiarisation a very important task for those currently on
the lookout for a future loved one. The descriptions and pictures of all manner of
possible (and impossible) potential loved ones are scrambled below. Your task is to read the texts
and study the pictures carefully and try to match the descriptions with the pictures. By completing
this task successfully, you will have learned to recognise the various details, characteristics,
differences and specific features of all your peers. In time, you will also begin to recognize persons
other than those who are loud and self-centred. The quiet and peaceful types can sometimes be
much more interesting than they might appear at first sight. You just need to be near enough to them!
100
BABY: Loves playing with those younger than
he is. Doesnt shave, although he already has
a fair moustache. Mother picks his clothes and
father takes him to his barber. Has heard of
sex, but doesnt really know what it is. Marries
when a girl proposes to him, and divorces
when his wife leaves him.
THE ATHLETE: Always at the gym or the
match or in front of a TV screen. Doesnt drink,
doesnt smoke. Goes to bed early, except
when there are live sports on late TV. Usually
picks sport over his girl, who waits for him for
hours and days, all pretty and fixed up. Quite
fond of sex, but only when the coach gives the
go-ahead.
ALWAYS CORRECT: Always arrives at dates
on time or earlier. Takes his girl out to posh
places. Always escorts her to her door on the
way back from the date. Loves attending family
dinners. Known for the huge bouquets he
brings. When he breaks up with his girl, the
person who suffers the most is her mother.
BLONDE Good to look at, not as good to
listen to. Slow to catch on to jokes, especially
those about blondes. Always dolled up to
perfection, even when throwing out the
garbage. Prefers being admired than loved.
Always noticed and always the subject of
gossip. Responds to the nickname Barbie.
Most frequent communication with her: Sit
down and shut up or lie down and shut up.
NORMAL NORMA: determines her sexual
conduct according to her desires, capacity
and values. Always articulate and unambi-
guous. Without her consent, difficult to get into
bed, and even more difficult to get into
wedlock. Generally well-liked or even admired
by her circle, and respected and loved by her
partner. More often found on the pages of
classical novels than in real life.

BEST FRIENDS GIRL functions in the
following manner: her boyfriend kisses her
his best friend understands her; her boyfriend
scolds her his best friend comforts her; her
boyfriend loves her his best friend adores
her. They always study, go on walks and the
cinema and holidays together. The girl is
happy, her boyfriend profits from it and his best
friends in an eternal dilemma: stay honest and
be unhappy, or be dishonest and be happy (at
least once)?
DEAR MARJORIE Offers professional
advice for all questions of vital importance,
such as: What should I do, hes seeing
another girl? or How can I approach her?
In more difficult cases (weve broken up) ,
consults her team of professional neighbour-
hood experts. Doesnt charge for her services,
but wont say No to a cup of tea. Makes up for
her scant personal experience with vast literary
knowledge. When she grows up, she becomes
Aunt Marjorie.
THE PHILOSOPHER loves school books.
Has top marks, conduct impeccable. Has quite
commendable knowledge of sex, but only
from biology classes. Not very interested in the
girls in his class prefers female teachers and
his mothers lady friends. Looks at parties as a
waste of time, but is often seen at literary
soirees and various lectures.
NORMAL NICK: Never lies or cheats in sex.
Can be kinky, but only in close co-operation
with his sexual partner. Always respects her
wishes and needs. Meticulous about hygiene,
health matters and birth control. Snapped up
as soon as he appears on the market.
ADVICE: Dont wait!

2. Clothes On and Clothes Off a simple name for an even simpler task. Paste
this page (or a photo-copy) on to cardboard and cut out carefully along their edges the drawings
of the man and woman and all their apparel. Put on some soft music, dim the lights and take their
clothes off and put them back on again to you hearts content! By doing this you will get used to
the basic actions in sex.
103
3. True of False a good opportunity to test your knowledge in sexual matters. Put a T
in the little square if you think the statement is true, and an F if you think its false.
ERECTION a rush of blood both to the head and to the penis
FRIGIDITY a lack of sexual feeling in males
PROSTITUTE and GIGOLO persons who charge money for

Now that we have reached
the end, Marjorie and I have
decided to tell you just one
word rose because a
rose is very similar to sex. It
can give you great joy and
pleasure, if youre careful,
and pain and discomfort, if
youre not. As always,
its your own choice.
Were rooting for you
with all our might! Dont
let yourself be lied to,
stifled, tormented but
dont do it others,
either. Have fun as be
as natural as possible.
Good luck!
