>>> 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
