The school superintendent in Abington, Massachusetts, has put back into kids’ school libraries a book that promotes sexual kinks and orgies. The book is titled “This Book is Gay” and, as noted by Fox News, it discusses “orgies, kinks, fetishes, sex apps,” among various sexually explicit topics.
Fox News asked Superintendent Peter Shafer if he was “aware that the book discusses the following, among other things: orgies, kinks, fetishes, sex apps, bath house, [a] casual hookup, [and] detailed information on how to have anal sex, as well as other sexual activities.”
“After reading the entire book and understanding it in full context, I decided to put it back in the library,” Shafer said in response.
“This Book is Gay” is touted by its publishing house as “a funny and pertinent book about being lesbian, bisexual, gay, queer, transgender, or just curious- for everybody, no matter their gender or sexuality.”
Grindr, an LGBTQ dating app, is featured in the book, and it notes that in practice, minors use the app. As Grindr observes, “‘If you are on Grindr under the age of 18 (it happens) be aware that swapping ‘adult’ pics is actually illegal – you are distributing child pornography, even if it’s of yourself.”
The book describes author Juno Dawson’s use of Grindr, saying, “The benefits are obvious: quick, easy, and uncomplicated sex… I’ve met a variety of interesting people… I don’t have a problem with that aspect of it-if people want casual sex, then something like Grindr is a must.” The book also discusses things like sex parties, the “kink community,” and employing sex toys. In discussing sex parties, the book promotes frequenting saunas as a way of getting “some random sex”:
“Saunas, or ‘bath houses,’ are dotted all over the country, and they are perfectly legal. People (many saunas run lesbian nights) pay some money to enter and then have a bit of a sauna and some random sex. Again, this is fine as long as you’re safe.”
While the book promotes sex toys, it discusses how Dawson doesn’t like dildos:
“Let’s talk about dildos: I think a lot of people assume that where there is no penis, a desperate sexual void is created, out of which something [bleep] shaped must ultimately slot in order to satisfy,” the book said. “I’ve only ever slept with two women who enjoyed using dildos. I hate wearing a strap-on. I’ve only ever done it once and NEVER AGAIN!”
