In their hands, it can be an aid to sexual enlightenment. “We have made this book for children and parents. The temptation, since we are such visual creatures, is to skim through the images and get an impression from that, but the introduction provides an important framing for the unconventional approach this book takes. The English adaptation is by Hilary Davies. The book was a collaboration between McBride and Helga Fleischhauer-Hardt, a psychiatrist, who provided an essential context for how the book should be used. Will McBride courageously and sensitively provided the photographs that appeared in that book, Show Me!(German: Zeig Mal!) published in 1975.

In the West, the Sexual Revolution went hand in hand with an acceptance of nudity and it makes sense that probably the most definitive text on sex education for children should appear during this time. Therefore, readers will begin to see examples of “comparative anatomy” appear on this site. In a healthy context, these can be a source of gentle amusement for those more experienced. There is an inherent awkwardness when children compare the superficial differences between boys and girls or between children and adults or watching inexperienced lovers fumble around as they figure things out. As creatures born with instinctive sexual proclivities that develop over time and rational minds trying desperately to cope with this reality, there is plenty of fodder for humor that does not necessarily imply shame. The legitimacy of a serious approach, though, should not exclude more humorous and light-hearted portrayals. In many sexually-repressed societies (and we have to count the modern West among them), any begrudging acknowledgement of the need to educate young people typically takes the form of dull and clinical coverage or is authoritative and fear-based and, in both cases, offers a cartoonish approach to the facts of gross surface anatomy. I thought it appropriate that this work should be a launching point for this topic-in this case a serious example but not oppressively so.

This can take serious forms as in proper (and perhaps institutionalized) sex education or in a more humorous form as children explore changes and differences in sexuality in their culture. Since Pigtails in Paint is an important venue for the healthy expression of child nudity, it makes sense that we should deal with the subject of sex education.
