Teens are all talking about sex, and some of them are doing it. But it's still a major cause of confusion for teens—not to mention a major cause of stress for their parents. The challenge has always been how to communicate accurate information to teens while imparting valuable safety skills and keeping it all interesting. That's where SEX: A BOOK FOR TEENS ($16.95, paperback, 176 pages, June 2010) comes in. It provides clinical facts,and common sense tips with engaging and relatable honesty and hilarity.

With humorous illustrations by San Francisco Chronicle cartoon artist Michael Capozzola, SEX teaches teens the practical ins and outs of being sexually active and, above all, how to stay safe. Topics include foreplay, masturbation, sexual orientation and gender identity, body issues, relationships, virginity, birth control, and protection against disease.  

Author Nikol Hasler is the writer and the host of the popular online series, the Midwest Teen Sex Show. It is from her remarkable personal story and challenges, which include a teen pregnancy, that she pulls her sardonic sense of humor and relentless desire to educate and empower teens. Nikol speaks publicly about sex education and also leads creative writing workshops. She has been featured in many media outlets including the Wall Street Journal, CNN and Nightline. She currently writes for The Onion’s A.V. Club, Beatweek, Crushable and Milwaukee Magazine.
