In all four cases, the judges ruled as a matter of law that the title was not obscene. In 19, obscenity charges were brought against the publisher or booksellers by prosecutors in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Toronto, Ontario, Canada. While many parents appreciated Show Me! for its frank depiction of pre-adolescents discovering and exploring their sexuality, others called it child pornography. In Germany, the book was followed in 1990 by a second edition that included, among other additions, a discussion of the AIDS epidemic. It was translated into English a year later and was widely available in bookstores on both sides of the Atlantic for many years, but later became subject to expanded child pornography laws in jurisdictions including the United States. It appeared in 1974 in German under the title Zeig Mal!, written with psychiatrist Helga Fleischhauer-Hardt for children and their parents. Show Me! is a sex education book by photographer Will McBride.
