Book synopsis:
What You Really Really Want:
The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex & Safety

How do I know if the person I’m flirting with is safe to date? What do I
say to a friend who’s making questionable sexual choices? What if that
friend is questioning my choices? How do I teach my kids to be safe and
sane about sex without teaching them shame?

All women have questions at the intersections of sex and safety. And it’s
no wonder: our culture bombards women and girls with mixed messages every
day. We’re supposed to be innocent virgins who excel at stripper-pole
workouts. We’re failures if we don’t act sexy, but we’re sluts if we
actually pursue sex. We need to be protected from rapists lurking in
bushes, but deserve “whatever we get” if we have a drink at a party and
wear a skirt.

Jaclyn’s anthology *Yes Means Yes* laid out a vision of a world in which we
all have the right to experience the pleasure of our bodies without shame,
blame or fear. *What You Really Really Want* will help readers create that
world for themselves, in their own lives. Using research, reality-based
advice, revealing quizzes and creative exercises, *What You Really Really
Want* will show readers the way to separate fear from fact, decode the
dangerous messages all around us, and discover a healthy personal
sexuality. We’ll build new skills for safely expressing that sexuality with
lovers, explore effective ways to talk about tricky issues with family and
friends, and learn how to make the world a little safer for everyone else’s
sexuality along the way. Coming November 2011 – pre-order
today!<http://www.amazon.com/What-You-Really-Want-Shame-Free/dp/1580053440/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304301682&sr=1-1>
