This is essentially good ol' T&A, B-Brand Comix's bread and butter. This one, however, differs from most of their output in that it's a humor book and the artwork is more cartoony. Creator Jason Waltrip's artwork is part Archie/part manga and works pretty well with the subject matter. The story concerns jungle boy Andu (presumably a teenager) who befriends an exiled Amazon woman who, conveniently for our young friend, is unschooled in the sex department. So while there is the aspect of innocence/naïveté on the part of the woman, it's not a story about conquest. Andu, struggling with his own libido, does his best to cope with his desires and avoid embarrassment. It's not that it's a deep story of great meaning; it's that it's not about taking advantage that makes this story more agreeable with my views. More to the point, it's fun, it's sexy and there are some good jokes (particularly in the realm of physical comedy and reaction shots).
