Synopsis
Expert-backed sex and dating advice for newly independent college-age women, set against humorous, confessional stories
Entering college marks an exciting--and often confusing--transition into adult independence, especially when it comes to navigating a healthy sex life and building fulfilling relationships. Do As I Say, Not Who I Did is a straightforward, judgment-free guide for young women, with practical advice backed by experts in the field of sexuality.
Ali Drucker lays bare her own hookup missteps and insecurities about sex in order to coach readers through the sticky situations that new independence presents. Plus, she weaves in the stories of over forty young women from colleges all over the country, with advice from sex therapists, OB-GYNs, and more. From consent, to STIs, to balancing relationships and schoolwork, she fills in the gaps that grade-school sex ed left wide open. Mixing candid memoir with current research, Do As I Say is the sex ed book teens and twentysomethings will actually want to read.
Synopsis
Consent is essential--that's Sex 101. And if you ask Ali Drucker, young women also deserve more--like time to explore what turns them on, space to voice their needs, self-compassion after a hookup goes sideways, and yes (obviously): pleasure It's hard to overstate how much we put pressure on early sexual encounters-- and how little real advice is out there. How do I deal when I keep running into my one-night stand? How can I tell if I'm too drunk to have sex? How do I say stop when I'm not really into it? Why do I keep getting all these UTIs?
And most of all: Why is so much of sex ed focused on what could go wrong instead of what actually feels good? In this unflinchingly honest guide to hookups and relationships in the twenty-first century, Ali Drucker answers these questions and more--with "been there, done that" confessional advice, plus input from experts on sexuality and from students in college today.
If you missed out on shame-free, affirmative sex education . . . if you're nervous about having sex . . . if you're just discovering what you want (and how to ask for it)--this book is for you.
