Welcome to Sex!

About this book

An age-appropriate introductory guide to sex and sexuality for teens of all genders from the authors of Welcome to Your Period! and Welcome to Consent. There's no denying it: sex can be pretty tricky, and talking about the subject often feels weird and uncomfortable. But it doesn't have to be that way. Welcome to Sex is packed with honest advice on everything readers need to know about the subject, including how to figure out when you're ready and reasons not to have sex. It covers topics like exploring pleasure on your own, becoming sexually intimate with others, contraception, staying safe, and how to communicate about sex (including talking to your parents about it!). Here is an inclusive, intersectional, multicultural, and reassuring resource covering a wide range of gender, sexuality, and disability issues--a book all about keeping sex fun, real, and shame-free. Augmenting the text are case studies, first-person accounts, and questions from real teens, all aimed at mainstreaming conversations about adolescent sexuality and helping young readers navigate their sexual debuts with confidence.
