Condom Nation underscores the fundamental need for a counterpoint to the amorality that currently dominates the issue."Suzanne Fields- "Richard Panzer, an advocate for AIDS prevention who teaches about sex in terms of reserve and respect, has written a fascinating book with the clever title of Condom Nation in which he catalogs the failures of sex education in the schools." Janet Parshall, talkshow host- "When I was a mom dealing with sex ed issues in the schools, I would have loved to have had Condom Nation... I love it when people do their research. That's what this book does!" G. Gordon Liddy- "If you're a parent, you need to get this book!"
