To make wise sexual choices and to avoid being a victim or perpetrator, one must have two things: knowledge and the power to act on that knowledge. While some books adequately cover the necessary factual information regarding sexual harassment, rape, and disease and pregnancy prevention, there is a great need for learning the coping skills for dealing with the sexual dilemmas that confront readers today.

Solid skill building for young (and not so young!) adults,
By
This review is from: Sex on Your Terms (Paperback)
Believe it or not, a priest recommended this book to me! As a great advocate of respectful communication being a key to building healthy relationships, he felt -- and I agree -- that Powell's book is very helpful. I work with college students as a health educator and find that many simply haven't developed the skill of being appropriately assertive in general, let alone in regards to the touchy subject of their developing sexuality. This is the only book I've found yet that speaks in plain language about being assertive without talking down to young adults who deserve our respect, care and concern in dealing with such a difficult issue. I have used portions of the book in training peer educators on alcohol and sexual assault issues, as well as in conversation with individual students concerned about their own ability to navigate a sexual (or non-sexual) relationship successfully. And as a even better bonus, I learned a lot in the process! Parents, teens, young adults, educators and others interested in building healthier relationships or helping young people build their own, will find this book helpful. It's well worth it!
