The Sex Education Dictionary for Today's Teens & Pre-Teens

Excellent. Better than I had hoped for, Wish it were around when my children were the age of my grand children( 5-11), whom I have purchased it for.). Don Drum

Does NOT put ideas into kids heads!!!

I just have to say to the below poster....WAKE UP!!! Learning how to put a condom on at age 14 is not going to make you go out and have sex! Believe it or not, there are 12 years olds out there who are sexually active! How can educating kids about the real world be a bad thing? I had sex ed when I was 14, and learned how to use a condom properly. Did it make me go out and have sex? No! Did I have parents who talked to me about sex? Nope. Whether or not there is sex ed in schools, kids are going to think about sex, we need to atleast give them the correct information. Reading this book is not going to put ideas into a teenagers head that arent already there, and niether is sex ed class.

Concise and user friendly

This dictionary allows readers of all ages to garner exactly how much information they need, when they need it. It is appropriate for the library's reference or general collections or in the home...an excellent choice...

Worth a second glance

350 terms carefully defined and illustrated for teens and preteens. It presents a single source to easily explain sexual terms, and it encourages useage of correct terminology.

An aid to knowledge and therefore decision-making.

Sooner than you know, your children will want to know more about SEX. One way to prepare for these curious times is with a book written by Dr. and Mrs. Dean Hoch, themselves parents of five children. This dictionary has a carefully-selected base of terms relating to love, birth and sex, with illustrations sensitive to the needs of young people. "Sometimes it's embarassing to ask parents," says a 16-year-old girl, who was grateful for the book. Medical people say it will help in combatting AIDS and other STD's. Librarians, parents, and school personnel are endorsing it as an aid to knowledge and therefore decision-making skills to so many important q's that our children are faced with--many times in the face of peer presure. Since the intent of the dictionary is to acquaint teens and pre-teens with correct terminiology and to encourage the use of these words, slang terms and "street language" are not included.
