Most young men and women (boys and girls) have sex because they feel developmentally obligated to, not because they're ready.
The Naked Truth About Sex: A Guide to Intelligent Sexual Choices for Teenagers and Twentysomethings
A bold new book for teens addresses both the physical and emotional consequences of going all the way and that sex is not a mandatory right of passage.
There are real consequences when teens have sex and they're not just STDs and pregnancy but emotional and psychological.
A new book by Dr. Roger Libby, The Naked Truth About Sex: A Guide to Intelligent Sexual Choices for Teenagers and Twentysomethings, "recognizes that sex is so much more than intercourse and encourages readers to have an extensive pre-sex discussion" and offers "tips for getting over the initial embarrassment of broaching the subject of sex, and destroys the myth that 'the game' is normal." I am appalled that a book like this wasn't published 20-years-ago. Sex is an emotional act no matter what anyone says.
Hearts, heads, and lives are at stake.
