Description
-
Author and publisher Joani Blank (1937-2016) described this playbook as the “companion piece” to the ‘Playbook for Women About Sex’. The two titles follow the same format and style and aim to encourage sexual awareness in the reader through the questioning and reflective prompts of a workbook. Blank notes at the start that she was compelled to write this title as no man had done so, although she was assisted by men who advised, edited and reviewed the playbook. The honest and direct content of the playbooks for men and women and the other sex positive titles published by Blank’s Down There Press, meant it was often difficult to locate printers who were willing to produce the books. In 1980, Blank co-authored ‘The Playbook for Kids About Sex’ which was condemned by the UK’s Conservative government in their election campaigning.
