I was hoping this would be something teens would want to get into and actually learn about. Unfortunately this was more of a wiki page on sex education. I'm not sure if it was just my download, but the way it was written, was very hard to read. Example, HoW aRe yoU DOing? The whole book was written this way. And I'm suggesting that's fixed. The end of the book gave parents good information on how to talk to your teens about porn, is the only reason I'm giving this two stars.

I really like the content of this book and think it would have been amazing for when I was a teenager and had very limited sex ed or understanding of sexuality and anatomy.

The illustrations are amazing and the interactive elements are a nice way to break it up and allow for processing.

The only thing that I’m unsure about is the title. It’s definitely an attention grab, however I think it reduces the accessibility of the book. I know as a teenager with a title like that I would not have felt comfortable buying it for myself, and it’s definitely not something my parents would have bought for me.

Loved this book/workbook! I give queer sex ed workshops and this will be a super useful resource and I can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy. My only complaint is the all caps text, which I know is still standard for graphic novels but from an accessibility pov makes it harder to read.

This book is great. It explains things in ways. Kids can understand. It opens them up to having a conversation with a parent or guardian, knowing that this is something that they can and should talk about if they have questions. This book explains what is normal and what is important for kids to know perfectly.
I also love that it is interactive. There’s a word search and questions to ask and to reflect on there’s even spaces where they can write in their answers.
I feel like this is also a good book for adult adults to read with the kids or read on their own when kids come to them with questions.
So much is covered here that isn’t covered in health class

I am so glad books like this exist.

I am 37 years-old and just learned today, via this beautiful book, that the clitoris was vastly unknown until 1998. (Google it. Isn’t that insane?!) Can you imagine learning this information as a young lady? It would be informative as hell and very empowering to have this kind of information not only about yourself but of the society you live in and the history therein.

Anyways. I think this book got a whole lot of things right. I loved that it was written in graphic novel format. This allows us to reach teens where they’re at in a way that is approachable for them. I think the realistic pictures of anatomy looking a variety of different ways is WONDERFUL. Hopefully the vast majority of people who read this book can see some type of reflection of themselves there. I also think this book does a good job of leaving hysterics out of the information presented. These are hot button issues and it’s nice to read facts and leave our sometimes heated emotions and opinions out. I appreciate the activities, glossary, and the “ask a trusted adult” question boxes.

I happen to think pornography is harmful and does more bad than good. I appreciate the messaging that porn is fantasy, not reality. Porn IS regrettably (in my opinion) still a part of OUR reality and therefore it’s important to educate our teens about it. I am grateful this book exists as I venture forward into educating my teenager about porn.

The recommended age is 12-18 and I think it’s a little soon for my kiddo to jump into this at age 13 but we are fortunate to homeschool and sometimes don’t face the same pressures as other families.

Thank you NetGalley and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for the digital ARC copy!
