| Summary |
"If you have a teenage boy, there is a 50 percent chance that he's already sexually active, and a 33 percent chance that he's been solicited by an online predator in the past year. How prepared is he for the risks and realities of sex? With real-world stats and tips for both parents and their sons, this is not the typical, "what is happening down there?" book with a blue cover instead of a pink one. It is a comprehensive crash course for boys into staying safe emotionally, mentally, and physically while navigating the danger-laden worlds of teenage sex and sexuality in a digital age. Your teen will learn ways to: avoid pregnancy, and HIV and other sexually transmitted infections; stay safe online and avoid sexual harm; ask someone out (and let someone down easy); understand bodies and body issues, both male and female; accept that sexuality comes in all shapes and sizes; know the consequences of abstinence, indulgence, and everything in between; and decide what is right for him, remaining true to himself and respectful of others."--Publisher's description. |
