Men's health; Sex & sexuality, sex manuals; Advice on parenting; Personal & social issues: sex education & the facts of life (Children's&YA)

An all-encompassing guide to help guys navigate sex, relationships and consent in the post-#MeToo world.

The world has changed, and the revelations of the #MeToo movement have raised serious questions about how men are raised to understand their own sexuality and the concept of consent. RESPECT is an all-encompassing guide that sheds light on these issues and more, laying out how men should approach and understand sex and relationships in the 21st century. So instead of simply parroting lines about how they ought to behave, young men can gain a deeper understanding of how they ought to behave. In direct, approachable language, Inti Chavez-Perez delves into the meaning of topics from consent and relationships, to body image, to gender identity and sexual orientation among others, and does so without judgement. RESPECT is a book for guys to learn from and then go back to, telling you everything you should know and everything you would want to know.

Reviews for Respect: Everything a Guy Needs to Know About Sex, Love and Consent

Thorough, refreshing and fun - Chicago Tribune [Respect] fills a gap in the literature for young men navigating adolescence in an era that may seem like a minefield of potential missteps. [It is] a rejection of the tired narrative of the conquest and a new way of thinking about what it means to have the best of everything-with or without a partner - Time This is a book destined to be passed around - Kirkus Reviews For any man (or woman) with questions about sex that they were too uncomfortable to ask, Chavez Perez's authoritative book will have the answer - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) In this accessible and blunt guide to relationships, Swedish author and sex educator Chavez Perez educates men on the ins and outs of intimacy . . . [Respect] is a perfect introduction to a healthy male sex life. While it may be most beneficial for young adults, adults also have much to gain from revisiting the basics of sex ed, especially in the #MeToo era - Booklist
