There are some fantastic sex education books for 13 year olds that will provide your teen with accurate and reliable information about love, sex, relationships and growing up.

Books that will provide your teen with positive and accurate information about the birds and bees and the facts of life.  Books that will also provide you with an opportunity to talk with your child about what sexual behaviour and attitudes are okay (and not okay) in your family.

There is a mix of books in this list of sex education books for 13 year olds. You’ll find books that talk about puberty and sex, as well as pornography, friendships, consent, gender and more. You won’t find any puberty books in this list, you can find the best puberty books for 13 year olds here.

Books that will help to guide your 13 year old as they grow up.

If it is a particular topic that you’re interested in, then you’ll find books by the topic in the main list of Sex Education Books for Children. And if you’re looking for a book for a different aged child, then you’ll want to look at the age-appropriate list of sex education books.

NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading the book with your child, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. You need to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.
