Download or read book Sex Lives of Australian Teenagers written by Joan Sauers and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ground-breaking and controversial: an Australian Kinsey-for-teenagers Are teenagers more sexually active than they were ten years ago? How many teenagers have sex because of peer group pressure? How often do they regret having sex? What do they think of sex education? Adults make a lot of assumptions about what teenagers do and how they feel, but really have no idea. In early 2006, Joan Sauers conducted an anonymous online survey to find out. Teenagers from around Australia responded, talking openly and honestly about issues such as: intimacy and relationships; masturbation and sexual fantasies; sexual texting and chat room liaisons; sexual orientation and coming out; contraception and protection against STIs; pornography and the media; and coercion and sexual violence. Sex Lives of Australian Teenagers presents over a hundred of their responses in their original, unedited form - some of them funny and poignant, others startling and disturbing. Sauers' analysis of the survey responses is compassionate and non-judgemental; she believes teenagers can only develop healthy sexual attitudes when they are able to speak freely about their sexual experiences and learn about the experiences of others. This ground-breaking study is sure to create controversy, but Sauers hopes it will also stimulate dialogue. A resource section is included to help teenagers and their parents find information and support. This book is desperately needed by parents, teachers, psychologists and counsellors - but most of all by teenagers themselves.
Download or read book Sexuality in Adolescence written by Meredith Temple-Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexuality in Adolescence: The Digital Generation provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of research and theory about adolescent sexuality in today’s world. The book examines biological, social and health-related approaches and reviews qualitative and quantitative research from psychology, sociology, epidemiology and medicine, emphasising the interplay between perspectives and privileging the voices of young people as they discuss the joys and pains of sexual awakening. The focus is on understanding healthy sexual development and its many variations, but problems and issues arising as young people make their journey to adult sexuality are also considered. The book presents global research on many key issues of our time, including the impact of media and technology on adolescent sexuality, changes in adolescent sexual behaviors and beliefs, sexual risk taking, sex education, and teen pregnancy and abortion. This fully revised and updated third edition of Sexuality in Adolescence also addresses the crucial issues of sexual diversity, sexual safety and sexual communication, including coercion, peer pressure and double standards. In Sexuality in Adolescence: The Digital Generation, the authors aim to promote sexual wellbeing, and argue for the importance of the adolescent period as a time for engendering healthy sexual attitudes and practices. This book will be valuable reading for students in the social, behavioural and health sciences who are interested in adolescent development and the topic of sexuality, as well as for professionals working with young people and families.
Download or read book Sex Lives of Australian Women written by Joan Sauers and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of women, aged 19 to 70, have shared their most intimate and sexual emotional stories. Sex is everywhere, yet we rarely discuss our own intimate experiences. Even our lovers often don't know our secret histories or desires - until now. Australian women believe that an active sex life is vital to their sense of wellbeing, but we still see sex as something that's a bit dirty, a bit naughty, a bit embarrassing. We rarely compare notes about what we do in the bedroom. Who knows if their behaviour, physical responses and emotions is something we have in common with our friends and neighbours? Joan Sauers created a forum in which Australian women could share their darkest secrets, their desires, fears and furtive dreams and speak their minds about sex and sexuality. The anonymous online survey attracted nearly two thousand responses, from women of all ages, living in every state and territory in the country. They were straight, bi and lesbian; single, dating, married, divorced and widowed; childless women, mothers and grandmothers. This is a book for anyone interested in sexual behaviour and attitudes - men as well as women - and a book for women who don't always feel comfortable talking to their friends or sisters or mums about a subject that matters so much to all of us.

Download or read book Do You Want Sex With That written by Claire Halliday and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2009-08-31 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitting in a meeting of Sex Addicts Anonymous, Claire Halliday insists to herself she's there for research. But while trying to work out what to say when her turn comes, she begins to wonder whether we aren't all sex addicts now. Like sugar, sex is in everything, from Bratz dolls to internet porn. On your television, on your radio, along the side of the road; in your inbox, your handheld and your frontpage. It sells and - particularly if you're a parent - it terrifies. It has always excited and disgusted, but now it does both things simultaneously, all the time. Combining memoir and reportage, Claire Halliday considers the place of sex throughout Australian life: from lounging about at the beach, to the pervasive sexualisation of advertising and children, to the more minority pursuits of swinging and porn-films, as well as the rise of the abstinence movement. She explores the issues with unsparing candour testing them against her own life and her own feelings rather than abstract ideals. The result is inquiring, challenging and fascinating. Who, after all, doesn't like sex? Just . . . perhaps . . . not right now.
Download or read book Masturbation in Pop Culture written by Lauren Rosewarne and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through reference to over six hundred scenes from film and television—as well as a diverse and cross-disciplinary academic bibliography—Masturbation in Pop Culture investigates the role that masturbation serves within narratives while simultaneously mirroring our complicated relationship with the practice in real life and sparking discussions about a broad range of hot-button sexual subjects. From sitcoms to horror movies, teen comedies to erotic thrillers, autoeroticism is easily detected on screen. The portrayal, however, is not a simple one. Just as in real life a paradox exists where most of us masturbate and accept it as normal and natural, there simultaneously exists a silence about it; that we do it, but we don’t talk about it; that we enjoy it but we laugh about it. The screen reflects this conflicted relationship. It is there—hundreds and hundreds of times—but it is routinely whispered about, mocked and presented as a punchline, and is inevitably portrayed as controversial at the very least. Masturbation in Pop Culture investigates the embarrassment and squeamishness, sexiness and inappropriateness of masturbation, showcasing and analyzing how our complex off screen relationship is mirrored in film and television.
