Summary:
"Peggy Orenstein's Girls & Sex broke ground, shattered taboos, and galvanized conversations about
young
women's right to pleasure and agency in
sexual
encounters. It also had an unintended effect on its author: Orenstein realized that talking about girls is only half the conversation. To understand girls and sex, we also need to talk about boys and sex. Today's
young
men
are subject to the same cultural forces as their female peers. They are steeped in the distorted media images and binary stereotypes of female sexiness and toxic masculinity which shape how they, too, navigate
sexual
and emotional relationships. In Boys & Sex, Orenstein uses the same fascinating mix of anecdote and research to reveal how
young
men
understand and negotiate the new rules of physical and emotional intimacy. Drawing on comprehensive interviews with
young
men
, psychologists, academics, and experts in the field, Orenstein takes an unprecedented look at the myriad factors that are shaping boys' ideas of sex, girls, and masculinity including: locker room talk how the word "hilarious" robs boys of empathy pornography as the new sex education hookup culture and consent Bro culture and #metoo excessive drinking and frat parties boys' experience as victims and perpetrators of
sexual
violence By exploring the complexity of
young
men
's attitudes, beliefs, and experiences, Orenstein unravels the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important realities of boys' sex lives today. The result is a provocative and paradigm-shifting work that offers a much-needed vision of how boys can truly move forward as better
men
