Publisher's Synopsis
From puberty to personal safety, from gaming to flirting, from building communication skills to developing unplugging muscles, from safer sex to digital citizenship, from asking someone out to coming out - "Spare Me 'The Talk'!" is an unflinching, comprehensive guide for guy-identified people (aged 12-22) written by a guy that is factual, informative, and funny. Jo Langford is a dad and a master's-level therapist who has been working with teens and their grown-ups for over two decades. Specializing in that intersection of adolescence, sexuality and technology, Jo offers a powerful supplement to those The Talks - providing answers to questions that every teenager has, but may not want to ask. Parents and other supportive adults who are motivated to educate both themselves and the young people they care about will also benefit from this book. With expanded information, a section devoted specifically to parents and over 50 special notes about hygiene, consent, cyberbullying, condoms, break-ups and dozens of other topics.
