"Let's Talk About It: The Teen's Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human" is a graphic novel that is more graphic than most. It shows a naked man sitting on another naked man's face, close-up images of penises and vaginas detailing how to masturbate with your fingers and butt plugs, and it's available in Alabama libraries despite new rules that could threaten state funding.
