Maybe you learned about sex in schoolâanatomy, STIs, and pregnancy, right? You might think youâve learned all there is to know, but thereâs so much more to sex than just âdoing it.â What about masturbation, is that OK? Are you dirty for having sexual fantasies? What about kissing, giving a blowjob, or taking the pill, is it safe? What if you touch someoneâs penis, can you get pregnant? If you douche after sex, you wonât get pregnant⌠right?
Making Sense of âItâ goes beyond the basics of the birds and the bees to give teens a realistic, no-holds barred, nonjudgmental guide on everything to do with sex and sexuality. With this book, teens can learn about it all from the best contraception methods to what to expect at a clinic, even to the signs of an unhealthy relationship. Alison Macklin draws on her years of experience at Planned Parenthood to address everything teens want to and should know in a straightforward, open-minded, and sex-positive manner. Even better, âConversation Startersâ in each chapter give teens and parents a chance to test their knowledge and useful tips to help talk about sex in a way that works for them.
In a world where teens are bombarded with bad information on social media, and are made to feel ashamed of something so natural, Making Sense of âItâ offers trustworthy, gender-neutral advice on how to be safe, informed, and honest about âitâ.
