The dj has a short, three-quarter inch tear on the front cover and some curling round the top, else this is a good, clean copy. The icreasing threat of the spread of the AIDS virus and the phenominally high numbers of unwanted pregnancies can only mean one thing: that we do not know as much about sex as we would like to think we do. Many, many people are at risk, particularly the young, who have grown up in an era of sexual freedom and apparent sophistication, and are only just beginning to realise that sex, in whatever form, needs respectful handling. In SAFE SEX Elliott Philipp, a distinguished gynaecologist, provides the facts about sex in a straightforward and practical manner, He outlines: safe and unsafe practices in intercourse - different methods of contraception, their advantages and disadvantages - how to recognise infection - where to go for help if you suspect you are pregnant, have an infection, or need advice on any sexual matter. His message is that sex can be safe, enjoyable and very rewarding for both partners in a relationship - but that to get the best from sex we owe it to ourselves to know what risks are involved.
