FURY erupted last night over a book telling kids as young as nine how to pleasure themselves.
It includes a cartoon of a girl fondling herself in a bath.
The 16-page guide — called 4 You — also contains explicit diagrams of how to manipulate female genitals.
It tells youngsters it’s normal to be attracted to people of the same gender.
The book was published yesterday by the Government-funded sexual health charity fpa.
Leaflets about the book, which costs £15 for 50 copies, are being sent to all schools in England and Wales in the next few days.
But head teachers, family values campaigners and education experts branded it inappropriate for its target age group of nine to 11-year-olds.
Nick Seaton of the Campaign for Real Education said: “Parents will be horrified that this sort of pornographic material is being targeted at primary school children.”
However, fpa chief executive Anne Weyman said: “This booklet will help dispel playground myths.”

The Sun says:
Too soon
CHILDREN¹S innocence is a precious commodity that disappears all too soon.
We shouldn¹t make them grow up before their time.
The latest Family Planning Association leaflet does just that.
It gives explicit details of the sex organs and tells children how topleasure themselves.
Is that what parents want nine to 11 year olds to be taught?
And just as important, is that what they want their taxes to be spent on?

What side of the fence are you on? What again is the big picture here?
