Hello, our names are Matt and Jess. TeenGuide to Sex and Relationships is a Q&A advice book weco-authored.

Heres a concise author bio with a bit moreinformation about us:

Matts Bio : Matt isan NYC teacher whos willing to make controversial statements thathe thinks are in your best interest. In his own words, Teen Guideexplains what mature, adult sexuality is and provides a usefulguide to entering that sexual world at the right time.

Jesss Bio : Jess, aprofessional non-conformist, has a fresh youthful world view. As anauthor of relationship-based fiction, Jess is full of ideas onthese topics. Shes cool, supportive, and writes with bothintellect and a lot of emotion.

We wrote Teen Guide because we bothcare about young people and their approach to sex andrelationships. With Teen Guide, we seek to help teens workthrough the tough issues that will be on their minds as they movethrough an emotionally complex time.

Both of us believe there is so muchsexuality in mainstream American culture that every teen is on somelevel encouraged already. It is better for teens to bewell-informed and make intelligent judgments (rather than look topop culture and entertainment for answers, or live up to theunrealistic expectation of being 100% sexually abstinent).

In Teen Guide, we cover all thequestions we think teenagers might want to ask about falling inlove, being in a couple, and making sexual choices. We give thetruth behind the cultural myths and we say what we really thinkrather than taking a polished pose that serves some politicalagenda.

We arent shy on any topics because itwouldnt do any good to be bashful if we really wanted to reach outto readers.

While Teen Guide is comprehensive,its aim isnt to encourage or promote teenage promiscuity. Weacknowledge that teenage sex is something that happens and thatwill always happen regardless of what anyone might say. Nothing ateen reads in a book is going to influence that reader if it runscontrary to common sense. If we were to pretend that teenabstinence is the only viable option, we would be rejected asinauthentic and we wouldnt be able to help anyone.

Teen Guide is divided into thefollowing sections.

1. Introduction | 3Questions

MATT:

I think for both boys and girls, thephysical pleasure and intimacy of the sexual experience areappealing. When you are young, its normal for you to want to trythings out and see how they feel, and when you find that they feelgood, you want to do them more often. I havent been around girlswho talk about their sexual desire, but women I know tell me thatits very intense, and that I shouldnt reinforce the oldstereotype that boys are filled with desire and girls have to be onthe alert to protect themselves.

With all of that said, there still remainsthe question: do boys just seek sex at all costs, without caringabout an emotional connection?

Frustratingly, the answer is: yes and no.Sometimes they do, and sometimes they dont.

1) Boys are driven by their hormones to feelintense sexual desire, and at the peak of their sex drives (maybebetween ages 15 and 20) they are willing to consider sex outside arelationship in order to deal with their very powerful urges.

2) Boys who are not having sex can thinkthat the sex drive needs to be satisfied one way or another, in arelationship or out. When they have sex for the first time, or finda regular lover, their feelings for the sex partner will be morecomplex, though.

3) Some boys believe that they can separatesex from love. In my opinion, this is mostly talk. What they say totheir friends, before or after a sexual encounter with a girl, isnot necessarily what is inside their hearts.

4) Boys with low self-esteem will feel asense of conquest or triumph from getting girls to go to bed withthem. This feeling doesnt last long, and they are soon looking toget laid again. Self-esteem issues arent satisfied so easily. Thistype of boy is likely to take a fuck-em-and-forget-emattitude.
