Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children

I had no idea having sex as a teenager could affect the rest of my life.

What does a three-pound brain have to do with one s sex life? A lot, actually.

Breakthroughs in the burgeoning field of neuroscience explain the impact of sex on the developing brains of adolescents and young adults. Through scientific data put in layman s terms, this book demonstrates that:

• Sexual activity releases chemicals in the brain, creating emotional bonds between partners.
• Breaking these bonds can cause depression and make it harder to bond with someone else in the future.
• Chemicals released in the brain during sex can become addictive.
• The human brain is not fully developed until a person reaches their mid-20s. Until then, it is harder to make wise relationship decisions.

Parents and others who care about young people now have the facts to steer them away from making life-changing mistakes, and lead them toward reaching their full potential.

This book will help parents and singles understand that safe sex isn't safe at all; that even if they are protected against STDs and pregnancy, they are still hurting themselves and their partner.
