As teenagers today navigate increasingly fluid identities and choices, there is a demand for an accessible, interactive tool to help share knowledge about sex and sexual health; one that demystifies the facts and speaks frankly about experiences whose lessons often fall into the grey areas. Since 2008, Miller and Bley have held an open call for young people to create comics that address a variety of topics involved with sex education. We have since produced several issues of a sex-ed comic called Not Your Mother's Meatloaf. The work is chosen from a vastly varied group of submissions and attempts to challenge hetero and gender normative practices in sex education. The comics address topics like body image, safer sex, consent, and relationships, from positions that have historically been left out of sex education. These graphically illustrated personal narratives address different themes, such as "Firsts," "Bodies," "Health," "Age," and "Endings." The book will bring together the best of the material from the Not Your Mother's Meatloaf comics, along with new graphic stories and writing by the editors providing personal and sociological background.

Humans are innately sexual beings, so why do we have such a hard time talking about sex? We must shift our attitudes surrounding sexuality and sexual safety toward empowerment to make decisions and take action to ensure sexual safety of individuals, families and communities. Author Anjella Skerritt, a registered nurse, midwife, and family nurse practitioner who has worked extensively in sexual and reproductive health, offers this guide to help start the discussion. Parents are reluctant to talk honestly and openly about sex with their children; sexually active adults are reluctant to communicate honestly about their sexual history; and teens and adolescents pay the price imposed by this pervasive culture of shame, anxiety, and secrecy. It's time to peel away the embarrassment and start a new conversation. By learning to talk honestly and openly about sex, you gain power over your life as a sexual being, and you give power to your children's future sexual safety and happiness. Sex and sexuality are intensely private matters, but there shouldn't be secrets between lovers, and there shouldn't be shame when a parent discusses sex with his or her children. Information is power; in "Free to Be Sexually Safe," you'll find the tools to start conversations about anatomy, safety, myths and taboos, urban legends, religion, and more. Sex is a natural, healthy part of life. By accepting the challenge to change the way you think and talk about sex, by taking full responsibility for your decisions and actions, and by extending respect to-and expecting respect from-your partners, you can change or save lives.

'Living with a Willy' is about what it's really like to be a willy owner. It's about your body and what happens to it. Real things, stuff like what it feels like to stand in the shower next to someone who's only two weeks older than you, but seems to be in possession of a member several sizes bigger. This book isn't going to teach you a lot of long Latin words ending in m, but it might just help you understand what it really means to own a daft tuft of flesh shaped like a chipolata.

Warning this book contains highly sexual material. This book brings to light, sex in hockey, and how common group sex has become over the past several years. It contains confessional short stories from various Puck Bunnies, players girlfriends, players and fans. I wrote this book to open peoples eyes to the new "Media Generation" of teenagers that openly participate in group sex. I do not form any opinions and have left it up to the readers to form their own opinions and views on the book and how they feel towards this sub-culture. Some girls are proud of their sexual exploits with hockey players and many of the players girlfriends talk about how they deal with the rumours and the Puck Bunnies. The players discuss the Puck Bunnies, as well as the fans and stalkers.This book contains real truths of a sub-culture that was, is and will likely continue to happen, in the world of sports and foremost hockey.The content is written in a non-judgemental way and with no sarcasm or finger pointing.The book may be a hard read and difficult for some to swallow, but, believe you me, this sub-culture exists, even if the players change from year to year.

Aaron Sleazy is among the most infamous modern seducers of women. His unusually direct style gained him followers all around the globe. Due to his incredible boldness and complete disregard of social norms he has eventually reached a level of success that can only be described as surreal. Some people may consider him a despicable character, but men usually envy his abilities with women, while women wish more men were like him. This book chronicles Aaron Sleazy's development from a guy that got some female attention into a raunchy modern Don Juan. It contains his most memorable, his most entertaining, his craziest, and his most bizarre adventures on his quest of picking up women. Sleazy Stories is a collection of not even one year's worth of experiences. Nonetheless, it contains more variety and absurdities than a lifetime's sexual history of probably 99.9 % of guys out there.

Encouragement and empowerment are the key objectives of this God-approved guide intended for young adults, but may be of use to all. It offers bible-based words of wisdom that assists in helping one make the right choices, and it also identifies important strategies that help strengthen and build a healthy self-esteem.
