ERWIN J. HAEBERLE THE SEX ATLAS A NEW ILLUSTRATED GUIDE The urgent need for more and better sex education in our society has long been recognized by educational and religious leaders; its importance for the nation's health has been emphasized by several Presidential commissions, and an increasing number of young people have been asking for new, objective and extensive sex education programs. Responding to these demands, many high schools, colleges, church groups and youth organizations in various parts of the country have introduced courses dealing with almost all aspects of sexuality, employing a wide range of educational materials, and presenting a variety of viewpoints, including those of neglected or oppressed sexual minorities. Many of these courses are successfully applying the most sophisticated multi-media techniques as well as the latest scientific findings. However, there have been few source books that approach, let alone match, the thoroughness and the frankness generated in the classroom. THE SEX ATLAS seeks to satisfy a widely felt need by presenting to students and to the general public a text that maintains the standards of today's most advanced sex education classes. THE SEX ATLAS provides young people as well as their parents and teachers with the basic textual and pictorial information necessary for a full appreciation and understanding of human sexuality. THE SEX ATLAS employs straightforward language and explicit photographs in order to lay the groundwork for a rational discussion of sexual matters and to eliminate the embarrassment which, in the past, has often hampered attempts at sex education. THE SEX ATLAS does not try to indoctrinate its readers by imposing on them a preconceived and dogmatic attitude toward sexuality. Instead the text represents a summary of the most respected current scientific opinion in all related fields. This approach grows out of the realization that young people today, while demanding honest and complete factual information, prefer to form their own opinions and to arrive at their own cohclusions. THE SEX ATLAS offers a comprehensive and detailed treatment of its subject matter and helps young and old alike to form judgments which are in keeping with the vastly increased sexual knowledge of our time.
