Every few pages, the boy world cracks open a little bit.... Even in the most anxiety-provoking moments of \u003cem\u003eBoys \u0026amp; Sex\u003c\/em\u003e, it's clear that Orenstein believes in the goodness of boys and the men they can become, and she believes in us, as parents, to raise them\" (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeggy Orenstein's \u003cem\u003eGirls \u0026amp; Sex\u003c\/em\u003e broke ground, shattered taboos, and launched conversations about young women's right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters. It also had an unexpected effect on its author: Orenstein realized that talking about girls is only half the conversation. Boys are subject to the same cultural forces as girls--steeped in the same distorted media images and binary stereotypes of female sexiness and toxic masculinity--which equally affect how they navigate sexual and emotional relationships. In \u003cem\u003eBoys \u0026amp; Sex, \u003c\/em\u003e Peggy Orenstein dives back into the lives of young people to once again give voice to the unspoken, revealing how young men understand and negotiate the new rules of physical and emotional intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on comprehensive interviews with young men, psychologists, academics, and experts in the field, \u003cem\u003eBoys \u0026amp; Sex\u003c\/em\u003e dissects so-called locker room talk; how the word \"hilarious\" robs boys of empathy; pornography as the new sex education; boys' understanding of hookup culture and consent; and their experience as both victims and perpetrators of sexual violence. By surfacing young men's experience in all its complexity, Orenstein is able to unravel the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important realities of young male sexuality in today's world. The result is a provocative and paradigm-shifting work that offers a much-needed vision of how boys can truly move forward as better men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7.9 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 09, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768818598176,"sku":"9780062666987","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/489ba3989c7b761371c735e0ab1d302d.webp?v=1780338086","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/boys-sex-young-men-on-hookups-love-porn-consent-and-navigating-the-new-masculinity-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
