Synopsis

How To Be The Best Lover - A Guide for Teenage Boys' is the first book that dares to tell teenage boys the deep truth about lovemaking and teenage sexuality. For young men who are coming of age, 'How To Be The Best Lover' is an important threshold in their rites of passage. Going beyond the sex talk, 'Best Lover' fills in the gulf between what I call the birds and the bees or 'Sex 101' books and the adult technique manuals. 'Best Lover' introduces teenagers to the heart of relationships - not shying away from telling them about oral sex or making love while at the same time introducing them to the complexities and responsibilities involved when you open yourself up to another person on this level. Best Lover has been hailed as a breakthrough in sex education by some of the leaders in the parenting field. 'Best Lover' explores the territory of relationships, danger zones, passion, responsibility, teenage sex and the commitment that comes from opening up your heart on this level with another person.

About this title

From the Author:

Teenagers are getting bombarded 24/7 these days about sex; movie sex, MTV sex, Abercrombie sex, Janet Jackson sex, but no one is talking about real sex. Teenagers are being pressured by their parents, pulled by their peers, driven by their hormones, and scared out of their minds by AIDS and STI's but no one is telling them the truth about being sexual. How To Be The Best Lover - A Guide For Teenage Boys was written as a gift for my son when he was coming of age. I knew if I didn't cover this topic with him, the culture would. 'Best Lover' talks about premature intimacy (How to get past running headlong into a relationship and then fleeing the second the conquest is over), sexual illiteracy (Why posturing and pretending is a loser's game) and the most important question 'When?' (Are you really ready to be naked in front of a girl, if you're still embarrassed to dance with her?!). It is my hope that 'Best Lover' will give young men the information they need to make their own choices wisely so they can enter this space with their hearts and eyes wide open.

"Bravo! Finally a book to lead our young men into the world of sexuality with their hearts wide open. We are now impatiently waiting for the second book - A Guide For Teenage Girls!" Michel Odent, author of The Scientification of Love and Birth Reborn

"Women's well-being begins when we claim what truly gives us pleasure. This book helps to make that possible within a loving, committed partnership. It advocates an open heart and deep honesty as the path to sexual pleasure - which naturally moves young adults toward wise decisions and away from reckless behavior. Powerful." Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman's Comfort Book
