Product Description
Today’s youth have an abundance of questions about sex and few places to go for explicit, non-prohibitive answers. Renowned sexologist Dr. Roger Libby fills the void with this refreshingly sex-positive book that gives teens and twentysomethings the hard facts about physical intimacy. Without moralizing or judging, he encourages them to develop a healthy, vibrant sexuality to be celebrated with self-respect and consideration of others.
Today’s youth have an abundance of questions about sex and few places to go for explicit, non-prohibitive answers. Renowned sexologist Dr. Roger Libby fills the void with this refreshingly sex-positive book that gives teens and twentysomethings the hard facts about physical intimacy. Without moralizing or judging, he encourages them to develop a healthy, vibrant sexuality to be celebrated with self-respect and consideration of others.
Offering sound information and advice on the gamut of dating and sex questions posed by callers to his former popular radio show The Pleasure Dome, Dr. Libby covers such topics as: STD and pregnancy prevention, the pre-sex discussion, the joys of self-pleasuring, moving past insecurities, tips for maximizing pleasure and issues specific to gay and questioning youth. With a serious yet playful approach, Dr. Libby emphasizes personal choice, honest and thorough communication, and realistic expectations between young sexual partners.
The Naked Truth About Sex also includes an invaluable resource section called "The Yellow Pages for Sex" to help its pro-active readers find all the tools they need to develop a happy and healthy sexual lifestyle.
This is the book progressive parents wish someone had given to them as teenagers and one that teenagers and twentysomethings will enjoy discussing with friends and open-minded adults.
From the Publisher
Naked Truth is considered progressive as it directly defies the current movement towards abstinence-only sex education. The foreword is written by Nadine Strossen, President of the ACLU, who praises the book for honoring young people’s right to information on sexuality, thereby allowing them to make intelligent sexual decisions that can profoundly affect their lives and their health.
The tone of the book is light-hearted but direct—Dr. Libby assumes his young readers are intelligent and will make their own decisions. He emphasizes personal choice, honest and thorough communication, and realistic expectations between young sexual partners.
In this era of abstinence-only sex education, it is crucial to provide young people with the information they so sorely need to make their own choices intelligently. Roger Libby is the perfect author for this groundbreaking book, with his extensive academic and clinical experience as a sexologist.
