5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best book about sex for teens; title says it all, November 26, 1998

This review is from: Why Wait?: What You Need to Know About the Teen Sexuality Crisis (Paperback)

I've reviewed many books over 20 years which helps young people understand sex, and I recommend this as the best one because it features real interviews with real teenagers. The title question "Why Wait?" is answered in detail. Superb book for teens, college students, even parents, all ages. Makes an ideal gift from a parent to a child, or a friend to a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well rounded arguments, great book, July 1, 2003

This review is from: Why Wait?: What You Need to Know About the Teen Sexuality Crisis (Paperback)

I read Why Wait? as a teen and it really helped me to see the reasons why teens have sex, reasons to wait and what was likely to happen to you down the road if you didn't wait until marriage. The thing I liked most about this book is that is shows you why young people are having sex. Many books will just talk about why to have sex or why you shouldn't. This book really explores the issue and gives a lot of good facts to back up the different points that are made in the book. Well worth taking the time to read no matter how old you are or what your feelings are on the subject.

I wish I had a copy of this book when I was growing up. It has been required reading for all my children as they enter adolescence. It is a resource that can and does make a difference. It gives them the ammo and sound reasoning they need to go against the tide. Do your children a favor and get this book!
