Welcome to this collection of sex education books for 17 year olds!

You’ll find the perfect book for helping your teenager navigate love, sex and relationships without any regrets.

These books strike the perfect balance between comprehensive information and relatable content that resonates with teenagers. Covering topics such as consent, healthy relationships, contraception, and LGBTQ+ issues, these resources will empower your teen to navigate their own sexual journey confidently.

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!
