BOOK DESCRIPTION
Parents of teenagers and young adults have enormous catching up to do to understand how sexting, internet porn, TikTok, and more have shaped sex for young people.
Too often, parents wear blinders when it comes to the sex lives of their children. They hear the statistics—how 80% of college students have engaged in rough sex or how one in four teens have sent or received a sext—and think, “Not my kid.”
Yes, Your Kid is the reality check parents need about what sex is like today—so they can better educate and support their tweens, teens, and college students.
Combining insights from cutting-edge research, conversations with real students, and on-the-ground legal experience, Yes, Your Kid provides:
- An overview of key topics in sexuality, from communication and consent to pornography and rough sex, describing how things have changed
- Real-world legal stories illustrating today’s consensual sex pitfalls and clear tips for how to help your child avoid them
- Age-appropriate tools to talk with tweens and teens about bodies, puberty, technology, birth control, and consent
- Concrete advice parents can share directly with their children so that—if and when their children become sexually active with partners—they are more likely to have safer, consensual sex
- Inclusive sexuality education tips for parents of young people on the autism spectrum
Authoritative, supportive, sex-positive, and facts-forward, Yes, Your Kid provides parents with the frank, accurate information they and their children need to safely navigate today’s sexual landscape.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
At a time when women are more vocal than ever about our lives, there's one last taboo.
We need to talk about porn.
‘Briskly confronting...porn is an inescapable part of the environment we all share and should be talked about honestly… this book is an important start.’
THE SUNDAY TIMES
'Celebrates women's sexuality but also unflinchingly reveals the truth of how women are perceived - and used - in society by men.'
A STYLIST best non-fiction pick for 2024
When we think about porn today, we still mostly think about men. Men as the producers and the consumers. Women as the product. Most women aren't talking to each other about what they do and don't do with porn - not really. And when we do talk about it, we are divided into unhelpful binaries: for or against? Liberation or coercion? Too sexual or not sexual enough? But in a world where porn sites get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon plus Twitter combined, and one of the leading sites claims a third of its users are women, isn't it time to change that?
In this book, interviews with 100 women result in an extraordinary and powerful conversation on pornography. How they first encountered it. How they consume it. How it has affected their sex lives. What they like and what they don't. And what it means for their relationships.
Eye-opening, provocative and deeply moving, this book navigates the polarised public debates, to open an intimate window into porn and the sexual lives of women today.
