- Book Synopsis
-
Let's Talk is a ground-breaking new book for teenage boys that talks about the stuff they really want to talk about, learn and understand. From being single to being a boyfriend, being gay, being straight, sex, relationships, dating, sexting, drinking and break-ups, this book covers it all. It discusses porn, pleasure and fun, condoms and safety and all the ways to understand consent. In a radical departure from previous generations' attitudes towards talking about difficult subjects, Let's Talk empowers teenagers to make wise decisions when they are having their first experiences, informing and preparing them to have positive encounters. Nobody gets everything right. There'll still be mistakes and awkward moments, but there's a far better chance of positive experiences if you've had the chance to talk, read and learn about these things in advance. So, let's talk!
