Yumi Stynes Sex Books for Kids Big W
A “graphic” sex book aimed at children as young as eight is being offered at Big W, which has alarmed outraged parents.
It is marketed as a “frank, age-appropriate introductory guide to sex and sexuality for teens of all genders” in Dr. Melissa Kang and Yumi Stynes’ Welcome to Sex: Your no-silly-questions guide to sexuality, pleasure, and figuring it out, which was published in May.
However, the Woolworths-owned department store has faced criticism when a Chris Primod’s podcast presenter Instagram video that showed parts of the book’s pages went viral. The content, according to detractors, is much too mature for the audience it’s designed for.
