Description
'Nick Luxmoore makes the inaccessible accessible in his latest book which explores the world of teenage sex and sexuality warts and all. Inspired by the true and often troubling realities of the many young people he has counselled, this book will make young people feel less alone and provide the adults in their lives with the confidence and ideas needed to explore a wide range of sensitive issues.'
- Dr Pooky Knightsmith, Child & Adolescent Mental Health Specialist and Advisor to the PSHE Association
'Writing about sex is never easy, yet alone in the context of schools where, shamefully, sex and relationship education is still not compulsory or widespread. Nick Luxmoore's excellent and courageous book encourages all who work in education to consider the significance of sex, suggesting ways for it to start to be talked about and managed. The book can be strongly recommended to all those who want to see more open acknowledgment of the role that sex plays in our schools.'
- Jenny Pearce OBE, Professor of Young People and Public Policy, University of Bedfordshire
