This is a list of sex education books for teens and teenagers that will help parents to provide their child with age-appropriate and accurate information about love, sex, relationships and much more! These are the books that are for all teenagers ie you won’t find gendered books in this list of books. You will findgendered sex education for teenage boys andgendered sex education books for teenage girls elsewhere in this website.
The teenage years are when sex becomes a large part of sex education. Puberty will have well and truly started, which means that your teen may now be thinking of sex as something that they may want to try. Sexual thoughts will be happening and they will be curious about what will be expected of them.
If you don’t want them turning to pornography to learn, then this is a great time to think about getting some sex education books for teens and teenagers. Books are a great alternative as it means that you know that your child is receiving information that is factually accurate and age-appropriate too!
You can find more books about different topics in the main list of Sex Education Books for Children.
And if you find this list a little overwhelming, you might want to look at the age-appropriate list of sex education books.
You’ll find more information about sex education in my Sex Education 101 page.
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.
