even closer to each other; they’ll be happy feeling and caressing each other’s body.
    WHERE THERE’S SMOKE THERE’S FIRE
    One day they’ll want to get married, they’ll get even closer, the young man will put his penis in the vagina of the young woman, and they’ll experience a new pleasure. Such pleasure is known as sexual pleasure. That’s how you can—if you want to—have a baby.
    II. LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS
    The book, which has 44 pages, includes 96 illustrations, 1 photo and 95 color drawings. The photo is on the cover; it shows a decent-looking naked little boy and little girl who are seated in an armchair and who are tanned and “good-looking”; the boy is holding the little girl by the neck and pretending to kiss her cheek. This pseudoflirting reminds us that children “are” asexual because they can only reproduce the parental stereotype as parody.
    Here, arranged under simple headings, is the list of illustrations { 6 }:
     
    Depictions of Naked Bodies
    Children: little boy-girl couple, 1.
    Adolescents: boy, 1; girl, 1.
    Adults: man, 2; woman, 2.
     
    These drawings of nudes (which, aside from the child couple, are anthropometric in intention) are small in scale, simple and whole-some-looking. The genitals are invisible (women) or nominal (men).
     
    Depictions of Sex Organs
    Images devoted to the “external genital organs”: none.
     
    Erotic Activity
    Depictions of any pleasure practice: none.

    “Internal genital organs”: 7.
    Parental Couple: 8.
    Intercourse for the purpose of procreation: 2 (Censored drawing, 1. Cutaway, 1.)
    Pregnant woman: 20 (with internal views, 9).
    Labor: 7.
    Babies: 13.
     
    Social Life of the Child
    School: 1.
    Family: 9.
    Other situation: none.
     
    For each, of course, I am referring to the main and explicit subject of the illustration.
    It becomes apparent that, to an excessive degree, the accent is on procreation, with bizarre senses of propriety, unnecessarily daring touches (details of delivery, cesareans, etc.) and some peculiar omissions. I will get back to this. The eroticism of the child, like that of the adults, is absent from the illustration as it is from the text. By itself, the material on pregnant women/birth/babies represents 42% of the illustrations.
    These illustrations are drawings because they are clearer and also less realistic than photos; their simple lines, their pastel colors tone down the subject being presented. My cataloguing of them doesn’t give an account of an important piece of information: the relative size of the drawings. In fact, trivial, “emotional” kinds of illustration occupy the most space; by their themes, they seem intended to dupe girls rather than boys. I will come back to this point in the next chapter. Here, I’ll content myself with describingthe fourteen images that occupy either an entire page or at least two thirds of it.
    1.  Family smiling, in the street, in three couples: dad-mom, big brother-big sister, little brother-little sister. Dad in a suit, tie and pocket handkerchief; mom in a suit and scarf that hides her neck. “High-rise” style buildings on the left, car on the right, a little dog in front of it. The scene depicts a family unit on their Sunday outing: they are going to a relatives.
    2.  Family, at the home of the pregnant relative. She has a small dog to complement the one shown before (different sex, same breed).
    3.  Couple : love story in two images. On the left, a man and woman in proper-looking bathing suits, playing volleyball on a sunny beach. On the right, the same couple, but dressed, standing in the shade of a tree, smiling and looking as if they’re about to kiss.
    4.  Couple with baby. In the first image, a young and happy mother, holding her baby against her body. On the right, an approving dog. In back, the husband smiling at them while painting a partition on wheels because he’s furnishing their home: on the
