Man Says Lesbian Book Caused 'Sleepless Nights'



A Bentonville, Ark., man is seeking $20,000 from the city after his two teenage sons found a book on lesbian sex on a public library bookshelf.He also wants the library director fired. Earl Adams said his 14- and 16-year-old sons were "greatly disturbed" after finding the book, titled "The Whole Lesbian Sex Book." Adams said the book caused "many sleepless nights in our house."Adams said the book is "patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value," according to a letter he faxed to Mayor Bob McCaslin. He said the teenagers found it while browsing for material on military academies. Adams wants the city to pay $10,000 to each of his sons. That's the maximum allowed under the Arkansas obscenity law. However, the city's attorney dismissed Adams' claim as baseless. She said the book is not pornographic. "There is not a valid legal concern here," Camille Thompson said. "In fact, (the request for money) made me question his motivation." The library's advisory board voted earlier this month to remove the book from circulation. Board member George Spence said he found the book crude, but said it could be replaced with one taking a "more sensitive, more clinical approach." In an e-mail Thursday, Adams said that "God was speaking to my heart that day and helped me find the words that proved successful in removing this book from the shelf."He said he would fight any effort to put the book back on shelves."Any effort to reinstate the book will be met with legal action and protests from the Christian community," Adams wrote in the e-mail. The book, by Felice Newman, is a sex guide deemed suitable for all public libraries, according to the Library Journal, which the Bentonville library uses to decide what to place on its shelves.Suter said the library aims to have books and other materials to serve a diverse group of library users.

Oh, man, this is just too funny. The boys "found the book while browsing for material on military academies." Awesome - that's what I would have told my Dad too - only he wouldn't have been stupid enough to believe books on lesbian sex and military academies are stocked side by side.

I am actually laughing. Thanks, Sanctus.

The book caused "many sleepless nights." No kidding - what's hotter to a teenage boy than lesbian sex? I just might have a sleepless night myself!

Bentonville Arkansas. Of course, shoulda guessed. There ain't no lesbians in Arkansas, nosiree - that's why the kids are so upset they need $10 grand each to get over it.

On the topic of teenagers and sleepless nights, a question: what is the most sensitive organ while masturbating?

Your ears.

Lesbian sex. in public libraries. My goodness, that's quite an evolution. In the 70's such an offering would be in some sleazy peep shop on Yonge Street or buried in some seedy stretch of inner New York. Now it's in libraries. Who'd have thought it?

Every day, in so many ways, the world just keeps getting better and better.

I actually worked in a library for 7 years and that is exactly the place you'd find the sex books. There or with the cookbooks or with the books on religion or with the books on fly fishing... mainly because teenage boys would take them to that area to look at them and then just shove them in with those books. The sex books were never in the health section where they were supposed to be.

I do think this is frivolous though. The title was pretty obvious. If that's something they don't want to read about, they could have just left it alone.

True, Tracy, but what good's a sex book if they're too sticky to open?

Well, probably anyone who had a lesbian daughter contract a sexually transmitted disease due to lack of education surrounding the unique nature of lesbian sex. I'd want books available to educate my child. Unfortunately, young confused children rarely have access to sleazy peep shops.

I'm relatively sure they turned it up due to a simple spelling mistake in the cataloguing process. It's easy to understand, since the boys were looking for information on military, rather than naval, academies, why a book on what to do, "when semen don't float your boat", ended up in that section.
