I read both of them as a pre-teen. She explores masturbation and nocturnal emissions, briefly, but with quite a bit of detail. It seemed that it's purpose was to give realism and be informative though, not just gratuitous sensationalism. Still, it was kind of controversial at the time.
yes, I can understand why that would be controversial in a country that thinks god hates sex except under the strictest marital missionary position, heterosexual procreative circumstances.
In this novel, I don't just discuss sex as an issue. People are actually doing things, But no, I did not want it to come across as pornographic or even erotica. so you helped me a lot. Thanks.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
