I wish I had this book when I was a preteen so I would have understood my body, what is medically normal and what treatment and routine medical appointments should be like. I wish all young people, regardless of gender, to read this book and have the basic facts. There is nothing "dirty" about this book. I'm very factual and educational. I'm happy to have this and gained a greater understanding of my body

Very informative, I would recommend if you have a vagina or are partnered with someone who does and want to learn more about your body, or your partner's body. The tone is lighthearted, so it's a pleasant and quick read.
This is not a general encyclopedia because it shifts so often to US medical system and data that advice could not be applied to your own country, but it definitely gives a good starting point.

Moderate: Animal cruelty and Medical trauma

There's a mention to an experiment carried on in lab rats in chapter 42.

Painful experiments on humans are mentioned and condemned in prior chapters, but not in the experiment that depicts animal harm.
