VOYA: My Rating: 3Q 4P This book is not your grandmother’s sex education book! As the title indicates, it is an “uncensored” guide. It is an honest break down of everything a teenager should or would like to know about sex. Its subject matter encompasses just thinking about sex, dating and relationships, the physical act of having sex, the possible outcomes or consequences and most importantly, safety. It provides an open and humorous education for the questions that many teens want to ask, but don’t. I appreciate Hasler’s frank, non-apologetic presentation of material. The illustrations are quite funny as well. This book would be best suited for young adults in high school. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I had forgotten that I requested this as an Early Reviewer copy ... the cover caught me off guard. :) I am all for good book covers, but I have to wonder if some teens might be hesitant to carry around a book with a cover of cows humping. That being said, that is the only thing I found myself questioning about this book. The book was accessible - the language was clear but also catered to teens with some humor throw in. Q & A's at the end of each chapter tackle common questions teens might have - and they are sure to enjoy the "there are no stupid questions - except for this one." The index is a great tool and I appreciated that the author provided additional additional resources at the end of the book.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Best sex book for teens I have ever seen. I might have shrieked with delight when I saw vocabulary like "cisgendered"...word I hadn't been introduced to until taking university level Gender Studies courses. Language is definitely at the teen level. Blunt and straight forward...as it should be.no reviews | add a review

HTML:The co-creator of the popular online Midwest Teen Sex Show brings us a hilarious, honest, and in-depth look at every teen's favorite subject: sex. This isn't your mother's sex book: It's punchy and unapologetic. At the same time, it teaches teens the practical ins and outs of being sexually active and, above all, how to stay safe. With humorous illustrations by San Francisco Chronicle cartoon artist Michael Capozzola, this book features chapters on everything including: foreplay, different forms of sex (all of them!), masturbation, sexual orientation and gender identity, body issues, relationships, virginity, birth control, and protection against diseases. Modern teens are faced daily with making decisions about whether to have sex and how to protect themselves if they do, and they need an engaging and relatable resource for getting the right information. That's what this book is about. No library descriptions found. |
