Riassunto

If you have a teenage boy, there’s a 50 percent chance that he’s already sexually active, and a 33 percent chance that he’s been solicited by an online predator in the past year. How prepared is he for the risks and realities of sex? Unflinchingly honest, unfailingly complete, immensely readable (and often funny), Spare Me ‘The Talk’! is the first book of its kind by a guy, for guys ages 12-24, and for parents of boys as young as 8. With real-world stats and tips for both parents and their sons, this is not the typical, “what’s happening down there?” book with a blue cover instead of a pink one. It’s a comprehensive crash course for boys into staying safe — emotionally, mentally, and physically — while navigating the danger-laden worlds of teenage sex and sexuality in a digital age. Your teen will learn proven, effective ways to: · Avoid pregnancy, and HIV and other sexually transmitted infections· Stay safe online and avoid sexual harm· Ask someone out (and let someone down easy)· Understnad bodies and body issues, both male and female· Accept that sexuality comes in all shapes and sizes· Know the consequences of abstinence, indulgence, and everything in between· Decide what is right for him, remaining true to himself and respectful of othersWith a strong moral compass, veteran sex educator Langford offers a powerful supplement to those notoriously awkward parent-guy sex talks, answering the tough questions that teenage gys really have — but would rather die than ask.
