I can just see Dr. Oz cornering his girls to talk about the topics in the book...lol. I am so glad this is available and know that talking about sex is so important. It should start when they are very young and be a natural part of life I believe. Awesome book from the parts I saw from it, and I saw that show as well.

I can't help it. I am sensitive to religious concerns and all, but if a person is sexually active and not being provided with the right guidance, they're going to get hurt one way or another. Stepmother or not, there's no harm in handing out a book and saying, "hey, if you ever need to talk, its 100% confidential and non-judgmental." She may actually be in a better position than a bio-parent. I’m the sort who will, undoubtedly, pull aside any of my kids friends and tell them, within reason, how to protect themselves.

Is it the step mother's place, things get gray there as to how much is helping and how much is interfering from the family dynamic pov.

The important thing, IMO, is to just get the dialogue going.

Lay off the pipe. I've not seen a boy book quite like this one. Boys don't have special "boy parts" doctors like we have Ob-Gyns, ya know? But, I've also not really looked.

We ironically had just this conversation this weekend about them breaking the ice and bringing everything out into the light.

Ahem. Anyway. Is there a boy version of this book? Mine are still very young, but I have no daughters, so I need one for boys. God only knows what that man would tell them. “The woman who’s words” should be “whose words”. Ahem. Anyway. Is there a boy version of this book?
