Published by Regal in 2004 with the subtitle Why Sex Sins Are Worse Than Others, one of three short books Hayford wrote on sexual integrity, with The Anatomy of Seduction (2004) and Sex and the Single Soul (2005). Hayford argues that sexual sins exploit the deepest parts of human emotion, and that traps set in childhood prepare for an assault that comes with the emotionally charged years of adolescence.
