EXCERPT:

EXCERPT [Introduction]:

. . .We wrote Teen Guide because we both care about young people and their approach to sex and relationships. With Teen Guide, we seek to help teens work through the tough issues that will be on their minds as they move through an emotionally complex time. Every question is answered in a conversational way, as if the author were sitting next to you speaking from the heart.

Both of us believe there is so much sexuality in mainstream American culture that every teen is on some level encouraged already. It is better for teens to be well-informed and make intelligent judgments than to trust to a lot of rumors and unrealistic nonsense that come their way from media, entertainment, and equally ill-informed peers.

In Teen Guide, we cover all the questions we think teenagers might want to ask about falling in love, being in a couple, making sexual choices. We give the truth behind the cultural myths and we say what we really think rather than taking a polished pose that serves some political agenda. For a short book, at 75 thousand words, it's pretty comprehensive. We'll tell you things as diverse as how to know if you're in love, what lesbians do in bed together, whether "size matters" and in what way if it does, or how to know when your relationship should end.
