This was interesting. It was interesting to see the third precept (“refrain from sexual misconduct”) interpreted in a way that is both sex-positive and acknowledges the actual way in which sex and sexuality are understood in the modern world.

The main drawback is that I don't know if there's really a full book's worth of material here. Warner has a gregarious, irreverent style that's always fun to read, but at times it gets repetitive as he relates everything back to that central interpretation of the third precept.
