Consent is essential—that’s Sex 101. And if you ask Ali Drucker, young women also deserve more—like time to explore what turns them on, space to voice their needs, self-compassion after a hookup goes sideways, and yes (obviously): pleasure!
It’s hard to overstate how much we put pressure on early sexual encounters— and how little real advice is out there. How do I deal when I keep running into my one-night stand? How can I tell if I’m too drunk to have sex? How do I say stop when I’m not really into it? Why do I keep getting all these UTIs?
And most of all: Why is so much of sex ed focused on what could go wrong instead of what actually feels good? In this unflinchingly honest guide to hookups and relationships in the twenty-first century, Ali Drucker answers these questions and more—with “been there, done that” confessional advice, plus input from experts on sexuality and from students in college today.
If you missed out on shame-free, affirmative sex education . . . if you’re nervous about having sex . . . if you’re just discovering what you want (and how to ask for it)—this book is for you.

The way I wish I had this when I was in my late teens/early twenties. Drucker made serious, sometimes scary topics very easy to understand. Using real life experiences gives the reader ease for any and all of the topics at hand. I cannot wait until I am able to pick up a copy for my younger siblings and the library.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for review
Ok, I'm not the intended audience for this book. But I have one daughter who just graduated college and one still in. I think they'd both benefit from reading this.
Ali Drucker covers everything, much better than any parent could. Think of her like the friend you need to talk to when you don't want to talk to anyone else. Relationships, mental health, Queer sex, parents - it's all there.
I won't be getting this for our middle school library, but you should get it for your college kids.
