Jaclyn Friedman
In this empowering, accessible guide, Jaclyn Friedmanâ€”co-editor of ,Yes Means Yes,â€”gives young women the tools to decipher the modern worldâ€™s confusing, hypersexualized, sometimes dangerous landscape so they can define their own sexual identity. Friedman decries the hypocrisy and mixed messages of our culture (weâ€™re failures if we donâ€™t act sexy, but weâ€™re sluts if we actually pursue sex; we need to be protected from rapists lurking in bushes, but deserve â€œwhatever we getâ€ if we have a drink at a party and wear a skirt), and encourages readers to separate fear from fact, decode the damaging messages all around them, and discover a healthy personal sexuality.,Educational and interactive, ,What You Really Really Want, includes revealing quizzes, creative exercises, and reality-based advice about sex and sexuality today. With Friedmanâ€™s informed advice to guide them, readers will build new skills for safely expressing their sexuality with lovers and explore effective ways to talk about tricky issues with family and friendsâ€”and learn how to make the world a little safer for everyone elseâ€™s sexuality along the way.
