You Know, Sex

Cory Silverberg

4.64 AVERAGE


This book is so lovely and inclusive. The book encourages curiosity and acceptance of all the things that go into a person's sexuality, gender, and relational life. In a country where education about sex and sexuality is so fraught, politicized, often inaccurate and ineffective, this book is a damn balm for adolescents, their parents, and anybody who loves an adolescent or their parent.

This is the inclusive sex ed book we all need- adults too. 

Worth the read, written like a graphic novel but non-fiction. This book really stretches your thinking and challenges you to be aware of the stereotypes and societal norms your brain falls into without even realizing it.
Strongest sections, in my opinion: (5) Feelings: Sexual Orientation, (9)Reproduction: How You Make A Baby, (10)Touching: Pornography, (11) Safety: Secret Touch

As a sex educator, I love Cory Silverburg's work! This was a fun read for me, to think through the language, tone, and messages I'm using in classes & whether they're what I want to be doing, but I think it would be great for parents/caregivers looking for resources about how to discuss sexual health topics with their young people and for young people to explore on their own.

This book will undoubtedly be controversial, because it give kids excellent information in an honest and forthright way many adults will be uncomfortable with. Also the first book for tweens I've seen that talks about non-monogamy in a positive light! Not for every family, but I think this could be an excellent guide to help parents talk about challenging subjects that might have gone unspoken when they were growing up, especially consent and boundaries.
