If you're looking for the definitive guide to sex and sexuality, and everything that it entails, then look no further than
Heather Corinna's fact-filled book. With straightforwardness, humor, insight, and directness, the founder and editor of
www.scarleteen.com delves into every aspect of sexuality, and presents it in a way that teens and young adults (and us
old adults, too!) can truly understand.
Everything -- and I mean everything! -- is covered within the pages of S.E.X. From Your Body: An Owner's Manual
to To Be, Or Not To Be...Sexually Active, Ms. Corinna puts everything into perspective, for both girls and guys. There
are thirteen main chapters included, along with appendixes that cover sexually transmitted diseases and infections and a
bibliography and list of recommended sources (which include phone numbers and websites, as well as books).
If you've ever had questions of any type about sex, or about your sexuality, then this is the book to use as a reference.
There's nothing silly or embarrassing in this book -- just straight questions and straight answers. There are parts that are
humorous, but underneath it all is just frankness for the seriousness of the subject matter. Heather Corinna knows that sex
is serious business, and that staying both healthy and happy is, too.
This is a great book! Give it to your sons and daughters, your nieces and nephews, your friends. Read it with them, and
don't be afraid to discuss what you've read. If everyone -- regardless of age -- is informed, then sex and sexuality will
never have to be a taboo subject.
