Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape / Peggy Orenstein

An Amazon Best Book of April 2016: It would be easy to pigeonhole Girls & Sex as essential reading only for parents of female teens or preteens. But as I traveled deeper into Orenstein s honest and thoughtful exploration of the complicated new landscape of sex as seen from the points of view of seventy high school and college-age girls she interviewed, I realized this book is for anyone who cares for a girl approaching womanhood, whether she is a daughter, niece, granddaughter, or friend of the family. Orenstein is the perfect guide, empathetic with the girls she interviews while also calling out how views on being hot, consensual sex, drinking, and the very definition of virginity and intercourse has changed in the past ten or twenty years. She s so direct, the reader can t help but face how dramatically the landscape has shifted. (I admit to being horrified at the latest definition of second base. But better to be wide-eyed than blind.) It s a tribute to Orenstein s perceptive investigations and her ability to make you question your own long-held beliefs about young people and sex that as I turned the last page, I felt an intense desire to read a Boys & Sex edition so that our young men could be given the clear voice that Orenstein has given young women.
