Roger; 
I was "upset" because of the content in the book was, in my opinion, way too 
much for her 9-year old self especially since I was dreading that "talk." I 
don't want my children to learn the woes of sex from a book and that particular 
book was giving instructions on not only positions but also oral 
sex...techniques and the like. So, my "beating myself upside the head" was 
warranted, in my opinion.  I will say that she did admit that she picked up the 
 book based on the other novel from Zane that she read (the one my older 
daughter said that it was OK for her to read.) That title, and I forget which 
one, wasn't that graphic or as detailed as the G-Spot.  I see that Bookshare 
has that book in the collection (and it was an earlier download for me) and 
while I haven't checked to see whether or not it is under adult content, I am 
sure that it is the "watered-down version than the first printed version I read 
when I had sight. 
I will admit that she didn't understand the total or worldly complexity of the 
content; her reading and comprehension skills are more advanced than the 
average 9 year old that it scared the Hades out of me. Fortunately for me 
during that time, I was able to field question from the mind of a 9-year old 
and not the questions that would have derived from a mind of a child that was 
turned-upside down or inside out from reading such a book.
