In conversational style Whipple, co-author of The G Spot, and Ogden describe what women can do to protect themselves from AIDS. They begin by teaching women how to understand their sexual feelings and behavior, arguing that such understanding allows them to choose safer partners and make love in safer ways. The central section is devoted to descriptions of creative ways to experience sexual pleasure: "Options Other Than Intercourse," "The Latex Factor," "Flying Solo," and "Teaching Your Partner to Play." Special sections include questions and answers on AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, how to talk to children about sex and AIDS, and a list of resource organizations.
