'It might seem strange to start this book by talking about sex, but it seemed to me that wherever I put this chapter, you'd probably read it first anyway.' This is the opening sentence of this evangelistic book for young rank outsiders, and shows immediately that the author, John Dickson, has a fairly realistic understanding of the average 1990s late teenager or 20-something.
John is Australian and that means there is no beating around the bush (!), but this ex-rock musician goes straight for the throat of things. The book divides into four sections.
