Some Auckland parents have been left outraged after a visit to the New Lynn community centre.

A 36-page booklet detailing graphic sex acts featuring male dolls caught the attention of several children- and Auckland Council has since apologised and pulled it.

Body Positive Executive Director Mark Fisher has labelled the removal an 'overreaction'.

"I know they have a lot of rainbow groups at the community centre, and for teenagers, I think it's an important resource that's been taken away from them."
