The Underground Guide to Teenage Sexuality

I saw some reviews saying this book was for the religious folks because it had a negative attitude towards sex...hmmm can't say that's 100% accurate. I am a Christian and I thought this book was pretty open about a lot of topics it didn't seem like it tried to put the fear in anyone, it was honest information. I actually still felt a little awkward reading some of the stuff in here knowing that I would be handing over the book to my 12,14,&15 year old teens. And no I am not overly conservative I am an open minded person and I like facts and honesty and I felt the book delivered. It's a decent book, I feel it has the info that a teen would need. Now a teen/young adult that is actually sexually active and feels he/she is more mature than their actual age might feel he/she might want another book that actually talks about sex positions..etc etc... But like I said this book covers pretty much every sexual topic. Great book to start "the talk" with my children. The reason why it's not getting 5 stars from me is because some info (answers)were 2-3 sentences long I would have preferred a little more info on some of the topics. I mean it is a book for teens,and they have tons of questions and want lots of answers.

I've gone through a few books on this topic and this is the best I've found so far. It is factual and leave out a bunch of editorial or lecture that teens don't want to hear.My son was horrified every time I tried to have "the talk." So I gave him this book told him to read a chapter and then I would quiz him. If we seemed to know the material we would not have to discuss it further and he could move to another chapter/topic. It really helped open the dialog between us. Pretty soon he felt totally comfortable discussing all kinds of things with me.Pretty good right? I stole the idea from Rosie O'Donnell who came up with this when her oldest would not talk to her about sex. I've recommended this technique and this book to several of my friends with teenagers. Makes it much more comfortable for both teens and adults.

I think this is a pretty solid book for the young adult. I read it over and was pretty happy with the info it presented.

This is a great book for our family. It addresses things I would have forgotten without some sort of guide.

I got this for my kids to help them be more prepared and informed about what exactly is happening to their bodies and that its normal even if others tell them it isnt

Good.

"The Underground Guide to Teenage Sexuality" is a very informative book for teenagers. While I don't agree with the author's opinions on everything, it has more factual information in it than most books.It makes a good supplementary book for health class, especially if you homeschool.I would recommend discussing the book with your teenager. Controversial subjects are covered, so you should probably add your own input after getting your teenager's opinion of the material.Good book, but needs parental guidance.

This book is a really good resource. It is very informative for my 14 year old son. Highly recommended.

This book is possibly right for some people or physicians in the US, but I can't deny the impression and very negative attitude of this book towards its content. Not only that I miss some information my teens ask for, I think the idea is to learn now through this book sex is bad. I am a bit puzzled by the connection of sex with diseases, and pregnancy with details, a surgeon should tell the woman, IF she is pregnant. This book is definetily for adults, who have no bondage with their children. Over all, my teenage boys thought this should rather be handed out in the US by some of their religious people, who try to tell everyone how to live. They think the book is rather preposterous than helpful. I would never give this book to minors or my teenage boys. It reminds me of the highly praised youth books for adults the teens won't like.

very helpful and easy to read and understand
