"In fact I have a full page warning, right in the front of the book, that no one under the age of eighteen should read this book and no one should even turn the pages if they are sexually conservative or erotically deprived"

This quote by Burt Ward is an alerting to readers of his book that it contains explicit content. He is cautioning readers that if they are under the age of eighteen, they need to not check out the book. He is likewise cautioning readers who are sexually conservative or erotically deprived that they should not even turn the pages of the book. This recommends that the book consists of content that may be too explicit or risqué for those who are not comfortable with such material. Ward is being thoughtful of his readers by offering this warning, as he does not want to anger or shock anyone who might not be prepared for the content of the book.
