Let’s Talk Sex and Emotional Safety Workbook by Greer Alexandra

Book Review

A short overview of this book

Let’s Talk Sex and Emotional Safety Workbook by Greer Alexandra helps to teach teens about the importance of respect and emotional safety.

Emotional care is something new that I am starting to see in books. Emotional safety is when both partners feel comfortable being authentic by sharing thoughts, feelings and ideas. This also includes expressing issues without fear of being put down, shut down, ridiculed, criticised, or told to be, act or feel different.

There’s not a lot of books out there on this topic helps teens to feel more confident (and safe) in sexual situations. And with the heightened awareness of the need for enthusiastic consent in sexual situations, this is book that is very much needed.

This workbook is perfect for anyone that is wanting to learn more about Emotional Safety, whether you’re in a relationship, single or a parent of a teen and want to start the conversation about Safe Sex and the importance of Emotional Safety. This workbook covers:

  • Emotional Safety and how it relates to sexual encounters.
  • Cultivating Emotional Safety with yourself and others.
  • Detailed information on the Emotional Safety Stages. Pre Care, During Care & After Care.
  • Sexual Boundary Setting & Sexual Violence information and resources
  • Sexual Health resources included.

While the Workbook is aimed at students and young adults it will be equally informative and guiding to older people forming new relationships or people re-entering the dating scene after a long lapse.  This workbook is LGBTQI+ Friendly and inclusive.

Hey there, I’m Cath Hak and welcome to Sex Ed Rescue! So, Sex Ed Rescue is my website where I help parents find better ways to talk to their kids about sex, especially teens. And guess what? Sex Ed Rescue is also my YouTube channel where I review a ton of books. Today, I want to talk about a book that was sent to me by Greer Alexandra, all the way from Adelaide in South Australia.

This book is all about helping young people feel confident when it comes to talking about sex. It’s actually a workbook, and let me tell you, it’s visually stunning! The artwork, the illustrations, the colors – everything is just so lovely. Plus, it’s super inclusive, which I absolutely love. The book celebrates different skin tones and doesn’t assume that just because you identify as a girl, you necessarily have a vulva. It covers all kinds of sexual encounters, from vaginal and oral sex to anal sex, masturbation, using sex toys, and even phone or online sex (like sexting).

But here’s the best part – it’s not just about the physical stuff. The book also emphasizes the importance of emotional safety. It breaks it down into three stages: Precare, which is all about communicating and checking in before a sexual encounter; During care, which focuses on communication and checking in during a sexual encounter; and Aftercare, which is about communicating and checking in after a sexual encounter. This idea of sexual emotional care is actually pretty new, but it’s so important. You see, sex isn’t just about what happens in the moment, it’s about what happens before and after too.

What I really appreciate about this book is that it’s not just a bunch of information thrown at you. Nope, it’s interactive! There are activities throughout the book that help reinforce what you’ve learned. These activities encourage you to think for yourself and apply the information to your own life. It’s all about empowering you to make informed decisions.

Now, here’s a little secret – this book isn’t just for teenagers. As a parent, you can totally benefit from it too. You can read it yourself and learn about different topics you might want to discuss with your teenager. Imagine watching a movie together and there’s a sexual scene. After reading this book, you’ll have some great ideas on how to talk about what’s happening in that scene. You might ask questions like, Do you think they’ll see each other again? or Are they just friends or are they having sex with each other? It’ll give you the confidence to have those important conversations.

I hope this review was helpful for you. Cheers!
