" NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNow in paperback Peggy Orenstein, author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller Girls &,Sex, turns her focus to the sexual lives of young men. Eye-opening Every few pages, the boy world cracks open a little bit Even in the most anxiety-provoking moments of Boys &,Sex, it's clear that Orenstein believes in the goodness of boys and the men they can become, and she believes in us, as parents, to raise them (New York Times Book Review).Peggy Orenstein's Girls &,Sex broke ground, shattered taboos, and launched conversations about young women's right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters. It also had an unexpected effect on its author: Orenstein realized that talking about girls is only half the conversation. Boys are subject to the same cultural forces as girls steeped in the same distorted media images and binary stereotypes of female sexiness and toxic masculinity which equally affect how they navigate sexual and emotional relationships. In Boys &,Sex, Peggy Orenstein dives back into the lives of young people to once again give voice to the unspoken, revealing how young men understand and negotiate the new rules of physical and emotional intimacy. Drawing on comprehensive interviews with young men, psychologists, academics, and experts in the field, Boys &,Sex dissects so-called locker room talk,how the word hilarious robs boys of empathy,pornography as the new sex education,boys' understanding of hookup culture and consent,and their experience as both victims and perpetrators of sexual violence. By surfacing young men's experience in all its complexity, Orenstein is able to unravel the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important realities of young male sexuality in today's world. The result is a provocative and paradigm-shifting work that offers a much-needed vision of how boys can truly move forward as better men. "

After spending more than two decades examining the lives of girls, Orenstein (Girls & Sex, 2016, etc.) realized that if I truly wanted to help promote safer, more enjoyable, more egalitarian, more humane sexual relationships among young people, I needed to go back into their world and have the other half of the conversation. Boys and parents of boys will thank the author for her work as she shares the complex sexual world she discovered via interviews with more than 100 young men, psychologists, and other experts. She exposes the trashy locker-room talk prevalent in athletic circles and how it is difficult for boys to speak up against such behavior for fear of losing their own place in the male world. She gives graphic, sometimes unsettling descriptions of boys and their consumption of pornography, which many use as their only source of information on what a sexual relationship should entail. Orenstein also shares numerous stories about boys realizing their inappropriate behavior with girls, and she chronicles how, even while they feel shame and regret, they may still avoid self-criticism in order to fit in with their peers. The author is inclusive in her study, portraying the experiences of a wide variety of boys, including people of color and gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. Orenstein effectively covers the issue of consent and includes stories of men who have been aggressively forced into sex by girls, and she also shows how girls can damage a boy's reputation by sharing specific details of an unsuccessful sexual encounter. Ultimately, the author's research opens up a welcome forum for exploring a hunger for more guidance about growing up, hooking up, and finding love in a new era. A highly constructive analysis that provides many topics for exploration and discussion by parents and others who interact with boys. COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
