Every household needs a copy of this best-selling, age-appropriate introductory guide to sex and sexuality for teens of all genders, from the multi-award-winning authors of Welcome to Your Period, Welcome to Consent and Welcome to Your Boobs!
There's no denying it: sex can be pretty tricky, and talking about sex can feel weird and so uncomfortable. But it doesn't have to be that way!
This little book is packed with honest advice on everything you need to know about sex: how to know when you're ready, reasons not to have sex, exploring pleasure on your own to becoming sexually intimate with others, contraception and staying safe, how to communicate about sex, wobbly starts and awkward moments (including talking to your parents about sex - this is really important!). Welcome to Sex is inclusive, intersectional, multi-cultural, reassuring and all about keeping sex fun, real, and shame-free. With case studies, first-person accounts and questions from real teens - and covering a wide range of gender, sexuality and dis/ability - Welcome to Sex will help readers navigate their sexual debuts with confidence!
