Pornography.
Memories of the loss of one's virinity reverberate for a lifetime, and this book celebrates that special rites-of-passage experience. Written with genuine verve it put me in mind of my own initiation, a precociously skilled and attentive 14 year old, at the hands of my governess. Yet it's not always so picturesque, warns Fleming, referring to the example of British computer-programmer "Justin", whose knowledge of sex prior to losing his virginity was solely garnered from pornography. His experience was less an act of love than a grotesque re-enactment which his baffled partner could not have foreseen.

Ugh. Bet that just upped the number of referrals from the seedier side of things.
