Purchased on Mighty Ape

Bought for my 13 year old. We have openly had discussions about this topic previously, and I answer the questions as best as I can without being too overly technical. I found this useful to discuss topics in open conversations with her. I'd rather this than her learning from sites on the internet.

Description

Welcome to Sex is a frank, age-appropriate introductory guide to sex and sexuality for teens of all genders, from the creators of the best-selling guides Welcome to Your Period, Welcome to Consent and Welcome to Your Boobs.
 
There’s no denying it – sex can be pretty tricky … and talking about sex can feel weird and so uncomfortable. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
 
This little book is packed with honest advice on everything you need to know about sex: how to know when you're ready and reasons not to have sex, exploring pleasure on your own to becoming sexually intimate with others, contraception and staying safe, how to communicate about sex, wobbly starts and awkward moments (including talking to your parents about sex). 

Welcome to Sex is inclusive, reassuring and all about keeping sex fun, real, and shame-free. With case studies, first-person accounts and questions from real teens, Welcome to Sex will help readers navigate their sexual debuts with confidence!

Author Biography:

Most people know Dr Melissa Kang as the longest-serving expert behind the iconic Dolly Doctor column, but she’s also a practising medical doctor for marginalised young people and has academic roles at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Sydney. She is fifth-generation Malaysian-Chinese Anglo-Australian, which makes specialising in adolescent sexuality and sexual health all the more interesting. She continues to speak about these topics in the mainstream media.  Yumi Stynes is a second-gen Japanese-Australian TV and radio presenter. She’s currently the host of Ladies, We Need to Talk, an award-winning podcast that explores all the trickiest topics and taboos about women’s health, including periods, discharge, difficult motherhood, and whether or not your vagina is weird.  Together, they are the best-selling authors of Welcome to Your Period, Welcome to Consent, and Welcome to Your Boobs.
