>> 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>
