I just finished validating "understanding human sexuality: 9th edition". (By the way, whoever scanned it did a great job. Thanks!)
I retained the adult content rating because I felt that the information might be confusing to a child.
However, this brings up a good question: how would you rate a book which explained the facts of life to an adolescent or pre-adolescent?

Hi all,Hmmm, I guess it would depend on the content of the book in the Gay and Lesbian genre as to whether it was adult or not. I think of adult content as being explicitly violent, explicitly sexual of whatever kind, and books where the dialogue is filled with four letter words which although kids know perfectly well, might be considered to be offensive.The idea of being gay or lesbian isn't necessarily adult, but might be confusing to some kids. Some parents might consider it to be adult.Ann P. -- Ann K.
