There is No Sex Fairy to Protect Our Children from Becoming Sexual Abusers. Jan Hindman, $28.95

There Is No Sex Fairy challenges America’s pretend protection of its youth—asking how children can be punished for sexual disrespect when that same society prudishly fails to teach them sexual respect. With outlandish and outrageous flare, the Sex Fairy actually exists in the publication that says she doesn’t exist—just to exemplify the absurdity and nonsense of America’s approach to the sexuality of children.

In a rip-roaring, irreverent poof and puff, the Sex Fairy teaches what children really learn about sex from their world and how easy it is to become a sexual abuser. The Sex Fairy shares The Ten Commandments for Raising Sexually Respectful Children, teaching that the ultimate protection of children from sexual abuse is to prevent them from becoming sexual abusers.
