Based on hundreds of interviews of teens and emerging adults conducted for over a decade, Peggy Orenstein discusses the impact on high school and college students’ sexual scripts of mainstream media, social media and porn; hookup culture; changing expectations around consent; the politics of sexual pleasure; the diversity of sexual orientations; gendered power dynamics. With humor and compassion, she separates myth from reality, ultimately giving both adults and young people themselves the conversational tools they need to ensure safe, pleasurable, mutually satisfying sexual encounters and intimate relationships.
