Hey there! Let’s talk about this awesome book called Okay, Spare Me The Talk: A Guy’s Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Growing Up by Joe Langford. It’s a gem! Oh, and by the way, he also has a version for girls, but I haven’t gotten my hands on that one yet. It’s on my wish list though, so I’ll grab it soon.
So, this book is written by a psychologist in America who works a lot with teenage boys. He’s all about being practical, especially when it comes to boys and their curiosity about sex. You know how it goes, they tend to look up porn and all that. But instead of just scolding them, Langford offers some great advice on how to work with that curiosity.
Now, I’ll be honest, the book might not win any awards for its looks. It’s a bit like a school textbook, but hey, don’t judge a book by its cover! The content is where it shines. Langford covers everything from biology and puberty to body issues, dating, relationships, and even topics like sexual arousal, oral sex, anal sex, and more. He really tackles the stuff that kids want to know about.
He also dives into important subjects like abstinence, making decisions that feel right for you, sexually transmitted infections, and the potential harms of porn, online gaming, sexting, and cyberbullying. It’s a comprehensive guide, I tell you!
And here’s a bonus: there’s a section at the back specifically for parents. It gives you a glimpse into what’s relevant for teens and kids today. The book was updated recently, so it’s up-to-date with the latest changes in gender, sexual attraction, and all that good stuff.
If you’ve got a teenage boy in your life, this book is a must-have. It’s a great resource for them to have in their bedroom, something they can turn to when they have questions. And as a parent, it gives you peace of mind knowing they’re getting accurate information instead of relying on internet myths.
So go ahead and check out Okay, Spare Me The Talk. It’s a fantastic read that will equip your teenage boy with the facts and knowledge they need. Trust me, it’s worth it! Cheers!
