Sexplained Two

Sexplained Two - For Changing Times, is a book written by an experienced clinical nurse specialist in the field of contraception and sexual health. It is as core reading material for sex and relationship studies, by young people (teens) within schools and informal learning settings, and by parents and teachers who want to update themselves before imparting knowledge to others. Written in a friendly, question and answer format, this book covers a wide range of topics related to: growing up, body changes, puberty, adolescence, new experiences, contraception/birth control, fertility awareness, the Law and Sex, FGM (female genital mutilation), sexting, prohibited images, social media and safer dating, and much more.

Comments from people who have read it include:

"Forget other survival guides: This is the one everybody needs. Buy it for your kids, your gap year, your school library, your GP, your practice nurse, school nurse, or your barracks but most of all, buy it for yourself. This is essential information way beyond the experience of most of us, including many healthcare professionals, but it's all here and easy to find.

Maybe there is no such thing as a stupid question but it's scary to ask and dangerous not to. All your questions are answered here, as well as many you didn't even know you wanted to ask.

For example:What's FGM? What's an oral dam? How can you get pregnant without having sex? How long do sperm live inside a woman? What does consent really mean? What should I do if Iforget my Pill? How fast do men ejaculate? What's a clitoris? What's phimosis? What's fertile mucus? My boyfriend says he needs to have sex! and Should sex hurt? to name just a few.

We all wonder and we all need to know."

General Practitioner Sheffield

"Sexplained Two For Changing Times is an essential tool for anyone who works with girls and young men, and is a must read for every teenager (and adult).

Helen's abundance of medical knowledge combined with the right amount of humor sheds light on many important and all too often unspoken sexual topics.

Everyone invested in sexual and reproductive health and development will want to read it.

I cannot recommend it more highly to schools."

"Times have definitely changed. Gone are the days when contraception and genito-urinary medicine were two distinct disciplines. With the integration of sexual health services, many professionals feel out of their depth, and their comfort zone, when they are faced with today's sexual health challenges.

This book covers topics that staff working with young people need to know and it's an invaluable reference for people working in a wide range of environments.

It answers a myriad of questions posed by healthcare professionals, young people, their parents and other adults.

I highly recommended this book, to all."

Justin Gaffney RN
Chair of Genito-Urinary Nurses Association (GUNA) UK

"Anyone contemplating their choice of contraception will find this book to be an excellent guide.

After explaining the changes that occur as we mature physically and emotionally, it offers sensible choices. Written in a user friendly / easily accessible format, it is useful for young people and those who work or live with them.

And, given the increasing relationship between social media, pornography and the many laws related to sex, this it an important book for anyone interested in, or curious about, the sexual complications of the 21st century."

Sally Kelsey
