Sexplained One

Sexplained One Sex & Your Health is essential reading for any professional working in the field of sexual health, as well as any parent or guardian of teenage children reaching their sexual maturity, and indeed for those young people themselves.

It is equally essential reading for adults without children to worry about, who want to look after themselves, or other people.

Helen has over 30 years of practical experience within the field of sexual, contraceptive and reproductive health, and what is not covered in this book.well probably isn't known to science!

Packed full of evidence based and researched information, this book is a culmination of Helen's experience and wide depth of understanding of her subject.

Professionals will gain a meaningful understanding and overview of sexual and reproductive health issues, and gain an idea of some of the very common questions that often occur within practice. The book will arm them with practical advice on how to answer questions in a straightforward way, to which young people and clients can relate, and gain knowledge to make informed choices.

For parents, the book provides insight into issues of gender, sex and sexuality as well as practical and informative information about sexual infections, risks and prevention. The knowledge gained will empower any parent with a 'toolkit' that will allow you to talk openly and frankly with your teenage child as they mature into a sexually active young person.

For young people, this book has all you need to know about having sex, keeping it safe, not getting pregnant and avoiding disease, with a no non-sense approach that gives facts and information in an understandable and highly readable way. Dispel the myths and stories of your peers and get the facts. Know about using condoms, finding a contraceptive method that works for you and how your body works on a sexual level.

This book would be a welcomed addition to any home, school, college, university or public library.

The chapters on different infections contain a wealth of information, and help to overcome the stigma of sexually transmitted infections, and the fear of attending a genito-urinary medicine department.

Direct, factual and in parts witty, Helen is a marvel and this book is a testament to her passion, charisma and dedication to the field.
