For reference, I'm a 30 year old pansexual woman from the Midwest, if that makes any difference ✌🏻

It's such a great starting point, not too academic and not too "simple". I appreciated Dawson not using euphemisms and just stating things as they are.
While I read the revised and updated version, I feel there were still a few areas that need updating (e.g. open relationships). But with sexuality and gender we are redefining them and they're changing all the time (which is a good thing).

The tone of this book is really easy to read; it's lighthearted (for the most part), and interspersed with illustrations throughout. It's a really easy book to read, and I hope that it makes it into the hands of people who need it.

finesilkflower's review against another edition
The point where I stopped reading is when Dawson jokily responded to the stereotype that gay men are all feminine with, "Penis? Check! Yup, gay men are, in fact, male." Were you not listening to yourself a couple sentences ago when you drily explained that this is not how any of this works?
NOT RECOMMENDED for anyone, at best condescending and outdated, at worst actively harmful.
