FIRST ON FOX – Pentagon school libraries contained dozens of books with jarring, pornographic content, such as detailed instructions on how to have sex, or radical gender ideology from elementary to high school, a Fox News Digital investigation has found. 

Fox News looked into over 50 schools, selected at random, at the Department of Defense Education Activity, which services over 66,000 military-connected children in the Americas, Europe and the Pacific. Some of DoDEA's libraries boasted specific sections for "banned" books, including explicit titles such as "This Book is Gay," which discusses orgies and sex apps.

Many of the pornographic and radical gender ideology books were added within the last two years amid President Biden taking office. This finding was determined by taking into account dates books were originally published.

Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman, a Department of Defense spokesperson, released a statement to Fox News Digital, which said, "The Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) serves a diverse community of military families, and their library materials reflect that diversity. All titles in DODEA’s catalog undergo a review process. We welcome parents to review DODEA library materials and there is an administrative process available if a parent has concerns about a particular book."

Department of Defense High Schools

Books in DoDEA high schools were found to contain sex imagery, detailed instructions on masturbation, recording sex, sending nude pictures, how to have anal sex and other topics.  

All Boys Aren't Blue 

"All Boys Aren't Blue," published in April 2020, is a non-fiction "manifesto" by a journalist named George Johnson geared for teenagers. 

It was most recently challenged in Dearborn, Michigan, for having sexually explicit content. The book describes oral sex, ejaculation, anal sex, pornography and masturbation.

"All Boys Aren't Blue" discusses watching pornography. 

"As an avid porn watcher, the only thing I knew about anal sex previously was that it was painful, or at least played up as such on the cameras," the book said.

"I was in pain for nearly three weeks following that encounter and too afraid to go to the doctor for help because I would have had to tell them I had been having anal sex," the book said.

Sex: A Book for Teens

The "Uncensored Guide" by Nikol Hasler has an entire chapter dedicated to "kinks, sexual fantasies and fetishes." The "communicating about sex" section says, "mouths are also for talking." 

The anatomy part of the book shows explicit images of male and female genitals and discusses breast reductions and augmentations.

'Sex a Book for Teens' (Fox News Digital | Author)

Some names for "breasts," according to the book, are "airbags, t*ts, bee bites, balcony, charleys, booboos, t*ttybojangles, tracks of land, chesticles, headlights, knockers, boobies, fun bags, dairy pillows."

About male genitalia, the book said, "Some guys like to think of penises in terms of 'growers' or 'showers' (the first type is small when flaccid, but gets much bigger when hard; the second type is big when flaccid and grows comparatively less when hard)."

Other names for "penises," included, according to the book, "one-eyed trouser snake, schlong, purple-headed yogurt slinger, dong, wang, weinie, baby arm, dome piece, jimber. Mr. Happy, plonker, tallywacker, manhandle, tubesteak, d*ick, throbber, knob, tool, donger, putz, winkle, pork sword."

The book went on to describe sexually explicit names for scrotums, erections and vaginas.

Big Questions Book of Sex & Consent

Published in December 2020, the book by Donna Freitas seeks to create a "sexually liberated UTOPIA!!!" and teaches children how limitless sex, so long as consent is involved, should be celebrated. 

"It's a world that values play, playfulness, and fun in relation to sex and sexual intimacy, a world that celebrates pleasure and the giving of pleasure, the joys of flirtation, the excitement of romance and sex," the book said.

Respect: Everything a Guy Needs to Know About Sex, Love, and Consent

This book by Inti Chavez Perez covers sexting ("Time to send a d*ck pic"), "recording porn," and other topics. 

"'Respect' tells you everything you should know, and everything you would want to know—a book for guys to learn from and then go back to," the book's description said.

"Respect" provides graphic details to teenage boys how to have sex with women, how to masturbate and how to have oral sex on men. 

About "sex," the book instructs readers how to "use your hands and mouth" and how to "make it work."

"As you continue to masturbate, the pleasure gets greater and greater until you can't hold out any longer, and you have an orgasm, where a wonderful feeling of pleasurable release washes over you. You'll general ejaculate... and the semen sprays out," the book said.

Another book in DoDEA schools, "101 questions about Sex and Sexuality" encourages masturbation for teens. It said, "While you need not masturbate if you don't want to, most experts think masturbation is... beneficial. It serves to release sexual tensions, and... is good preparation for a sexual relationship. Boys and men often have a problem with ejaculating too quickly, before their female partner is... satisfied."

This Book is Gay

"This Book is Gay," discusses the casual hookup site "Grindr" and includes detailed information on how to have anal and "girl on girl" sex. 

"We all want to have sex with loads of people," the book states. "[T]he prostate gland… feels amazing when massaged. Lots of men, gay or straight, like how this feels."

"Let's talk about dildos: I think a lot of people assume that where there is no penis, a desperate sexual void is created, out of which something [bleep] shaped must ultimately slot in order to satisfy," the book continued. "I've only every slept with two women who enjoyed using dildos. I hate wearing a strap-on. I've only every done it once and NEVER AGAIN!"

It also included information on sex parties and orgies. "Saunas, or 'bath houses,' are dotted all over the country, and they are perfectly legal. People (many saunas run lesbian nights) pay some money to enter and then have a bit of a sauna and some random sex. Again, this is fine as long as you're safe.

The book was found in numerous high school and combined high/middle school libraries, raising questions about whether it was also available to pre-teens in DoDEA schools. 

Gender Queer

"Gender Queer" by Maia Kobabe was the #1 most-challenged book in the country in 2021, according to the American Library Association. 

The graphic novel has been at the center of debate on whether it is appropriate for schools to have in their classrooms and libraries because of its explicit imagery of oral sex.

Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World

"Aristotle and Dante" by Benjamin Alire Saenz, published in October 2021, is about two teens who fall in love. Most of its pages discuss having sex, planning to have sex, sexual pleasure and sexual desire. 

"I'm thinking Dante could charm the pants off me. And my underwear too," the book said. "All I can think about is sleeping next to you. Both of us naked."

Another book by the same author, "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe" discusses masturbation.

"Dante enjoyed kissing. And I suspected he liked masturbating too. I thought masturbating was embarrassing. I didn't even know why. It just was. It was like having sex with yourself," the book said. 

"Ari, Do you masturbate? I'm thinking.... I'm a little obsessed with this topic lately. Maybe it's just a phase. But, Ari, if you do masturbate, what do you think about?"

Middle School is a Drag 

The book by Greg Howard, which was published February 2020, is about a 12-year-old boy who starts a talent agency business for child drag queen performers.

Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out

The book, "Beyond Magenta" by Susan Kuklin, documented the stories of LGBTQ+ youth, and some passages have been criticized as disturbing. The book described a child as "sexually mature" who "hated being a kid."

"I was sexually mature. What I mean by sexually mature is that I knew about sex. From six and up, I used to kiss other guys in my neighborhood, make out with them, and perform oral sex on them. I liked it. I used to love oral. And I touched their you-know-whats. We were really young, but that's what we did... Guys used to hit on me – perverts – pedophiles. I'd see guys giving me a look, and it kinda creeped me out. They would touch themselves, saying, 'Come here, sweetie.' I ran away... By then I hated being a kid, I had a grown-up's mind and thought I was an adult."

The protagonist, Jamie, began to bind her breasts at age 14. "It's like a corset designed to make me look boyish... it seems to suit me... I feel more confident with my chest flatter, unlike any girl in my class," the book said about chest-binding.

"[B]inding feels so good, so right. Like a wight that should hold me down, but lifts me up."

Too Bright to See 

In "Too Bright to See" by Kyle Kukoff, a child's gender identity discovery is explored through a narrative tale featuring a haunted house. 

It said arguments countering the notion that "trans women are women" were "transphobic."

"[T]rans people really are the genders they identify with… arguments saying otherwise are transphobic, pure and simple. Like, a phrase I kept seeing repeated over and over again was 'trans men and men' and 'trans women are women.' A sure, unshakeable truth," the book said.

"For some reason I thought that being trans was all about you... you know, private parts. Like, knowing they're wrong.... But that almost never came up [for me]," the book, originally published in April 2021, said.

Julian at the Wedding

The second book of the "Julian" series by Jessica Love is about gender nonconformity and a child dressing in purple heels, a boa and a flower headdress. It was published in October 2020. 

"A… poignant reminder that gender, like love, is expansive," a review of the book, included on the publisher's website, said. 

Another book at DoDEA, "Julian is a Mermaid," describes a boy who wants to become a mermaid. During the book, the boy repeatedly strips down to his underwear. Later, he puts on lipstick and dons a headdress. He is then given costume jewelry before being taken to the NYC Mermaid Parade where he can freely express himself.

"This is a boy named Julian, and this is his Nana. And those are some mermaids," the book says with an illustration of women dressing up as mermaids. 

"This beautiful book is one of the very few picture books about a gender non-conforming child," a review of the book, posted to the author's website, said.

When Aidan Became a Brother (Author)

Aidan's mother admits she made a mistake misgendering her son, saying, "When you were born, we didn't know you were going to be our son. We made some mistakes, but you helped us fix them."

Then, when Aidan's mother became pregnant, she was asked by someone whether the baby was a boy or girl. "Aidan didn't like it when people asked if he was a boy or a girl, and he hoped the baby couldn't hear yet. He was glad when Mom just smiled and said, 'I'm having a baby.'"

It Feels Good to Be Yourself

The book teaches children about transgender and cisgender identities. 

"This is… Xavier. Xavier is a cisgender boy. That means when Xavier was born, everyone thought he was a boy, and as he grew older, it turned out everyone was right – he is a boy," the book by Theresa Thorn said.

"Everyone feels like either a boy or a girl," except nonbinary children, the book explained. 

"This is Ruthie's friend Alex. Alex is both a boy and a girl. When Alex was born, everyone thought Alex was a girl, but Alex is both boy and girl. This is Alex's gender identity."

Another character JJ, is neither a boy or a girl and has "they" pronouns. "Ever since JJ was very little, they never felt exactly like a boy or a girl – they just felt like themself. This is JJ's gender identity."

The children's book further claims that "there are many different ways to be a boy or a girl… [or] non-binary."

"Some kids feel that their gender identity isn't always the same – it's often changing."
