Product Description
In his book "SEX CAMP," Brian McNaught ventures into places where most people fear to tread. His searing honesty combines with an overt ability to pose issues about human sexuality that desperately need to be faced, lest we continue to violate those who do not fit our security boxes. I commend his work but only to those among us who are courageous and radically open." Bishop John Shelby Spong Author Here I Stand! My Struggle for a Christianity of Integrity, Love and Equality Thirty-two strangers arrive at a Church-owned retreat facility on Saturday to work with some of the best trainers in the field of sexuality. They're told that by the end of the week, they'll know more about sex than ninety percent of the population. What they go home with on the following Saturday is a lot more than they anticipated or were promised. Besides laughing, crying, swearing, and cheering through films and intimate discussions about sexual values, body image, "self-pleasuring," gender identity, sexual orientation, seduction, abuse, theology, and "turn ons," they faced off with each other around an altar in the woods, under blankets and star-filled skies, bareassed in the water, and with hands joined singing in a circle. Most everyone goes home forever changed. That is, if they make it through the week. The Annual Workshop on Sexuality at Thornfield was called "the world's best kept secret." Now you're in on it. "Oh honey, you should have been there. We had two transsexuals and one cross dresser, and a nun, and two football coaches, and an 'ex-gay' guy, and lots of homosexuals, and we watched films of men and women masturbating and making love, and men and men, and women and women . and I talked about how you were non-orgasmic, and it was really cool!"

eye opening and heart warming September 6, 2008
Brian McNaught tells the stories of his years at Sex Camp with insight, affection and skill. It is a delightful read, and a fascinating look into the mysterious world of sex education. It is a rare thing to find a book that is entertaining and highly educational at the same time.

McNaught has done a brilliant job of bringing to life sex education through creating an engaging story and putting real people with it.
These days with everyone's busy lives most people are not going to read a book on sex education. There is too much on television and too many ways through the internet to get it. Reality shows are appealing to people's voyeurism as to what goes on in people's lives.
McNaught's book is entertaining, educational and also very engaging. Bringing these three elements together is better than any stuffy sex education book or reality show could offer.
Great Read! May 12, 2005

This book was a pleasure to read! I thoroughly enjoyed attending "Sex Camp" via the written word of Brian McNaught!
I strongly encourage you to add it to your summer reading list. After all, you just never know who's eye the title might catch by the pool, at the beach, or on a plane!

Brian McNaught's book "Sex Camp" is an extraordinary story, one which is not only a great novel but informative and can be challenging to the reader. If you have ever had the great privilege to hear Brian speak in person, you can "hear" him throughout this book. Watching the "campers" go through their own journeys during the week at camp was very real -- so much that although there were 32 participants portrayed, I felt I was the 33rd camper!!
As I read the book, I found myself gaining new information about sexuality and along the way, laughing, smiling and crying with the participants. Excellent character development with tons of information for everyone who picks up this book.
I highly recommend this book -- it's a beauty!!
Way to go Brian!!

Thanks to author Brian McNaught I had a great week at "Sex Camp".
His tale took me to a wonderful place where I laughted, cried,and
learned things I didn't know about sex, life and relationships.
Each of the campers interested me with what they brought to the
experience. Leaving me wanting more.
