Hello, our names are Matt and Jess. Teen Guide to Sex and Relationships is a Q&A advice book we co-authored.
Heres a concise author bio with a bit more information about us:
Matts Bio : Matt is an NYC teacher whos willing to make controversial statements that he thinks are in your best interest. In his own words, Teen Guide explains what mature, adult sexuality is and provides a useful guide to entering that sexual world at the right time.
Jesss Bio : Jess, a professional non-conformist, has a fresh youthful world view. As an author of relationship-based fiction, Jess is full of ideas on these topics. Shes cool, supportive, and writes with both intellect and a lot of emotion.
We wrote Teen Guide because we both care about young people and their approach to sex and relationships. With Teen Guide , we seek to help teens work through the tough issues that will be on their minds as they move through an emotionally complex time.
Both of us believe there is so much sexuality in mainstream American culture that every teen is on some level encouraged already. It is better for teens to be well-informed and make intelligent judgments (rather than look to pop culture and entertainment for answers, or live up to the unrealistic expectation of being 100% sexually abstinent).
In Teen Guide , we cover all the questions we think teenagers might want to ask about falling in love, being in a couple, and making sexual choices. We give the truth behind the cultural myths and we say what we really think rather than taking a polished pose that serves some political agenda.
We arent shy on any topics because it wouldnt do any good to be bashful if we really wanted to reach out to readers.
While Teen Guide is comprehensive, its aim isnt to encourage or promote teenage promiscuity. We acknowledge that teenage sex is something that happens and that will always happen regardless of what anyone might say. Nothing a teen reads in a book is going to influence that reader if it runs contrary to common sense. If we were to pretend that teen abstinence is the only viable option, we would be rejected as inauthentic and we wouldnt be able to help anyone.
Teen Guide is divided into the following sections.

MATT:
I think for both boys and girls, the physical pleasure and intimacy of the sexual experience are appealing. When you are young, its normal for you to want to try things out and see how they feel, and when you find that they feel good, you want to do them more often. I havent been around girls who talk about their sexual desire, but women I know tell me that its very intense, and that I shouldnt reinforce the old stereotype that boys are filled with desire and girls have to be on the alert to protect themselves.
With all of that said, there still remains the question: do boys just seek sex at all costs, without caring about 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 feel intense sexual desire, and at the peak of their sex drives (maybe between ages 15 and 20) they are willing to consider sex outside a relationship in order to deal with their very powerful urges.
2) Boys who are not having sex can think that the sex drive needs to be satisfied one way or another, in a relationship or out. When they have sex for the first time, or find a regular lover, their feelings for the sex partner will be more complex, though.
3) Some boys believe that they can separate sex from love. In my opinion, this is mostly talk. What they say to their friends, before or after a sexual encounter with a girl, is not necessarily what is inside their hearts.
4) Boys with low self-esteem will feel a sense of conquest or triumph from getting girls to go to bed with them. This feeling doesnt last long, and they are soon looking to get laid again. Self-esteem issues arent satisfied so easily. This type of boy is likely to take a fuck- em-and-forget-em attitude.
