From A to Z, Naked: Not Your Average Sex Encyclopedia is an inclusive guide to sexuality for teens.
The 150 entries cover key ideas about identity, relationships, self-image, sex and body positivity--and no topic is taboo. From bisexuality to Kamasutra to #MeToo, Naked offers answers to questions about sexuality that teens have always had but have been afraid to ask. What is consent? What does gender fluid mean? What kind of contraception should I use? With contemporary examples, vibrant illustrations and additional information and resources for young readers with more questions, Naked is essential reading for today's teens.

Readers are reminded that individuals are unique, that there are many ways to experience sexuality and that it's okay to say no."
