| Older teen is progressing slowly but surely on the intimacy scale with 1+ yr partner. We always provided changing bodies type of books as kids got older and as you can probably tell we talk about these things but I think I want to leave around a reference book on the mechanics of sex, what feels good to the other person, how to advocate for one’s own pleasure and reciprocate - like a good, liberal book that is teen and first timer friendly that is more about intercourse. I ordered one recently, Sex Plus, and it is good but not exactly what I was looking for. TIA! |
| I recently heard about a website : amaze.org that is supposed to have great sex ed content for teens. You can make a playlist of videos for your kid to watch. I haven't had a chance to check it out in depth, but it looks to be very sex-positive and informative. |
Great find with Scarleteen. I remember there being an abundance of these type of sites when I was growing up, but they seem less circulated these days. I read plenty of cosmo articles, but also had other, more reputable sources. |
| This seems really odd for a parent to do. I think this is a creepy troll post. |
Agreed....WTF. This takes helicopter parenting to a whole new level. |
| Why? Is it better for them for learn from porn or clueless friends? Whats wrong with having a book in the house that they can read or not read if they choose not to… |
| When I was in my 20s, the ultimate sex ed book was called The Guide to Getting it On or something like that. |
