With all due respect: Teenage boy's guide to sex

A direct book answers everything your teenage son ever wanted to know about sex but probably wouldn’t ask, writes Suzanne Harrington

When it comes to ideas around consent, sex is no longer perceived as something to give or to get, depending on your gender, but something to share equally via mutual negotiation for mutual pleasure. That’s the theory anyway. Teenagers, beginning their sexual journeys, have never been more exposed to porn, yet never more aware of the idea of consent, as our culture swings paradoxically between porn saturation and informed, emotionally literate sexual behaviour in a post #MeToo era.
