"Plain Facts for Old and Young" by John Harvey Kellogg is a late 19th-century educational book that tackles the sensitive subjects of sex, reproduction, and the differences between males and females. It hopes to educate readers on these topics, which were often considered not appropriate to discuss. Arguing that not having the correct information on sexual health can affect both individuals and society, the book seeks to fight ignorance by offering clear facts, all while avoiding sensational or overly moralizing language. The book starts by explaining reproduction in plants and animals to try and present the topic in a logical manner, before going on to discuss human sexuality, health, and making responsible choices.
