A 5-star rating for Sebastian by Rigby Taylor. This book is refreshing in it boldly embraces the sensual nature of men and women.  A candid look at the joy of intimacy and being free of guilt.  This innocence is placed in sharp contrast to the perversion of this innocence for greed. Those who are not as comfortable with their own sexuality are potential customers for those who exploit others.  Pornography, prostitution and human trafficking are some of the markets that are explored in this novel.I recommend Sebastian to those readers who are comfortable with freedom of sexual expression. Given the range of reactions to this book, readers are advised to read some of the reviews left by people who object to the book.  I remember reading Stranger in a Strange Land a 1961 science fiction novel by American author Robert A. Heinlein. As controversial as Sebastian may be, Stranger in a Strange Land was just as much out there!For those readers who are concerned about this book, there will always be a fine line between sharing love and affection in a caring and compassionate manner and sexual exploitation. Judging from the puritanical outmoded sexual mores we have a long way to go to figure it out. This book challenges the reader to look into themselves and to question what is really right and wrong.  Ironically, men can be put into prison for a longer period of time for rape than for murder.  Think about it!  The more society oppresses sexual expression between consenting adults and inflicts guilt upon children as they discover their sensuality, perversion of sexual energies will continue to be a natural consequence.
