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 you’re looking for a book for a different age child, then have a look at my lists of age-specific sex education books for kids. If you find this list overwhelming, have a look at my favourite sex education for kids, as these are the books I am always recommending to parents.

You’ll find more information about sex education in my Sex Education 101 page. And if you’re a little unsure about what to talk about, then have a look at my age-specific guide to sex education.

Let’s get started!
