Mac: When we went to the Brattle Bookstore with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nevanna, we found a gem: The Playbook for Men - About Sex by Joani Blank (AKA the founder of Good Vibrations). It's a little 23 page sex-ed workbook/pamphlet/zine thing that's almost fifty years old and really good! Definitely making me feel inspired for Multi Orgasmic 2! (AKA Multi Moregasmic!)
Joani Blank made three of these workbooks: one for women, one for men, and one for children. Only the one for children has ever been digitized, and she did it herself after Down There Press, which she founded, got sold off to someone else who took all her stuff out of print. Now you can only get them secondhand for like $45 on Amazon.
Our own copy is this beautifully handlettered work of art, and still holds its own today. Basically every sex ed manual we've encountered since owes a debt to these. We feel like a lot of people would find it handy today, so we digitized it. (It's not screenreadable. That's a problem for Future LB.)
Ms. Blank died a few years back, and these zines look to be impossible to find, so we hope this means you can print out copies for yourself to use! Keep her memory alive!
