A contemporary guide to sex education that answers the most pressing
questions teens and young adults have about dating, relationships,
consent, and sexual safety.
There's a lot to talk about when it comes to sex education - anatomy,
communication, safety, and more. In this groundbreaking book, Dr.
Jennifer Lang delivers a frank, compassionate, and evidence-based guide
to healthy sexual relationships, focusing on the crucial role of consent
in sex education.
A board-certified OB-GYN, Dr. Lang breaks down confusing concepts into
factual and clear guidance. She outlines not only what consent looks and
sounds like, but the importance of recognizing when a person has the
capacity to give consent, and when they don't. Written for all teens,
and inclusive of all sexual identities and orientations, Consent is a
reference guide to healthy sexual expression and relationships.
This book's approach to sex education covers:
- An overview of human sexuality including what sex is and how it feels,
separating sex education fact from fiction.
- A discussion about relationships & dating and the various forms they
take during adolescence, including some of the most common scenarios
and healthy ways of handling them.
- Tools for communicating and understanding consent, as well as critical
information about the capacity to give consent, the language
surrounding it, and what constitutes abuse and assault.
The way that teens think and talk about sex today has changed. Sex
education needs to change, too. Teens and young adults will find the sex
education information they need to make empowered choices about their
bodies, their desires, and their boundaries in Consent. You'll never
think of sex education in the same way again.
