Best Ebook Foreplay, by Mike Taylor
Based on the author's own experiences as a youth, this quirky and hilarious treatment of sexual awakening will keep you in stitches and raise your eyebrows through the roof. It is 1959/1960 and eleven/twelve year old Mathew Tyler's mixed up world revolves around rock'n roll and making out. But his quest for the treasures that young girls keep hidden beneath their clothes is constantly being thwarted by his youthful inexperience, personal demons, and the ever-present threat of intervention by the Old Ones. You know, those wrinkled-up meanies (ADULTS!) who just can't stand to let a kid have some fun. But underlying this ribald and irreverent look at childhood sexuality is a sobering message: the need for sex education for our youth in an era of Aids, sexually transmitted diseases, and untimely pregnancies. The naked reality is that twelve year old girls can and do become pregnant.

About the Author Mike Taylor graduated with an Honors B.A. in Sociology from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia in 1978. Since then he has been employed as a parole officer, immigration investigator, and unemployment insurance fraud investigator for the Canadian government. His first book The Truth About Immigration pushed the bounds of political correctness. Foreplay , which explores the equally sensitive issue of pre-teen sexuality, is his first work of fiction.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. PROLOGUE
This story is an offbeat account of some wild shenanigans and childhood sexcapades -- as poignant as they were comedic -- that happened to me and some of my friends in 1959 and 1960, at the delicate threshold of puberty. Those zany, pre-adolescent years between eleven and twelve when I bounced from one experience and erotic adventure to the next with no predictability or control, like being shot into a pinball machine.
Why am I telling it? Because it happened. And I believe anything that happens in life is worth knowing about, because it is part of life. But you won't read about it in any library book or hear about it from any teacher, preacher, or parent.
They lie, all of them. The lies are for your own good, they say, but that's what all despots of goodwill say. The Old Ones, those wrinkled-up meanies, those robotic programmers of Adulthood, just want to keep all the fun for themselves.
That much is clear.
Their hypocritical morals and authoritarian ways are designed to keep kids in fear and ignorance, fighting against the feelings that surge through their bodies naturally by instinct. Sex must be suppressed, at least until kids, those lovable almost-people, are trained to perform their predetermined roles in society as producers, consumers, taxpayers, and parents.
The message is clear. First finish school, then find a job so you can support your own brats (don't stick US! with the bills), THEN you can have sex!
The relentless male sperm that penetrates the female egg can throw the whole upbringing process into chaos, an Old One's worst nightmare. That's the problem. But grownups know full well there are plenty of ways to outfox the predatory army of sperm, they just want to keep that knowledge to themselves.
So sex is reserved for ADULTS ONLY! For children it is taboo. In fact, many Old Ones think that childhood sexuality is an oxymoron, so why talk about it at all? But of course, thinking it so doesn't make it so.
Kids aren't stupid. Neither is nature. Eleven year old boys aren't the innocents they appear, sitting primly at their school desks wearing angelic faces, or watching TV at home munching on mom's cookies, or daydreaming in church (neither are eleven year old girls, for that matter). If you could see into their mischievous minds, or look deeply into their devious eyes, you would know. Little boys are just midget pirates in search of the treasure chests that little girls keep hidden beneath their dresses. Oh yeah, I know what you're thinking, tacky-tacky, but you know exactly what I mean!
But on another level, this story is about more than childhood sexperiences or a fun trip down nostalgia lane, visiting friends come and gone. It is also a journey of self-discovery, offering insights into closet skeletons (forgive me, but it is my book!). The more I think about it the more I'm convinced, and maybe you'll agree, that the past is the place to begin if you have any knots that need unraveling. It is the sum of what you are and will tell more about yourself than reading any tarot cards, palms, stars, or chromosomes.
But where do I begin?
These events took place over forty years ago. I'm old now, and the mind plays tricks. Since time does not stamp a date on memories, all I can do is dig down and try to unearth the highlights one at a time and, like faded snapshots in a dusty photo album, try to keep them in some sort of order. To be truthful, I don't really know where to start other than to just begin.
EPILOGUE
Children inhabit a world where the immutable laws of nature constantly duke it out with the whims of social convention -- in this case, a battle between sexual biology on the one hand and the combined forces of parents, teachers, and religion on the other. The result is often a mixture of calamity and chuckles round the clock, where kids change chameleon-like from "little angels" into "little devils", and back again, every day.
As the puerile antics of Mathew Tyler and his rascal friends illustrate, raging sex hormones do not respect the wishes of society. They do not wait for school to end, careers to begin, or the age of consent. The simple fact is, in an era of AIDS, children need to be educated about sex for their own protection. Knowledge about sex and contraception is the first line of defense against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted or untimely pregnancies.
A moral crusade based on abstinence alone is playing ostrich. Even in a sexually repressive environment, where the subject is taboo for children, a child of eleven is sexually inquisitive, and a child of twelve in many cases is already sexually active. Arguments about sexual morality and religious values notwithstanding, if it comes down to your child contracting AIDS or becoming pregnant at twelve or thirteen, there is only one maxim worth remembering. That is, when it comes to a squabble between nature and society, nature will always have the last word.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great By S. Costantino If you have an interest in what it was like growing up as a young teen, in the late 50's, this is a great and humorous read. It flows well, and has many musical references, which i loved. Wish i could find more coming of age books that were this entertaining.
