How Sex Works

Endorsed by the Family Planning Association, this book is an illustrated guide for today's sexually aware teenagers. For them, sex is a minefield. They want to know how to handle sex, whether the myths they hear are true, what everything looks like, and what's normal. The authors, parents themselves, explain the physical changes that occur and deal perceptively with the emotions, self-doubts and pressures of this volatile time. They give practical information on creating good relationships, dealing with peer pressure, making emotional decisions, what intercourse is like, contraceptive choices, and practising safe sex. The emphasis throughout is on helping teenagers to develop mature and happy relationships.
