Sex ed book for older teens?

[AMumInScotland]

My DS (16) knows plenty about it, I'm sure, but I'd quite like to get him a book suitable to his age-group which talks about both the practicalities (contraception, STDs etc) but also about what it's really all about and how to make sure its an enjoyable experience for all involved.

I don't want to get him an adult guide, since that would probably assume a fair amount of "practical" knowledge, which I'm pretty sure he doesn't yet have. But equally, he already has an early-teen one (Lets Talk About Sex) which doesn't really go into detail about "doing it" as its aimed more at puberty.

Any suggestions?

Living with a willy,and Wllies: A User's Guide, are both good. I can't remember who they are by, but if you search on Amazon they will probably pop up.

No pun intended

Thanks they both look good. I'm just a bit worried they migt come across as a bit young IYSWIM? There are reviews from parents of 9-12 yo on there saying they were very suitable, so I don't know how much they'd add...

too young?

Maybe... I sort of want one that mothers of a 12 year olds wouldn't buy for their sons. But then maybe some parents would even if its aimed older?

I decided that one was a bit advanced for my 11 year old.

But then he has shown no interested in the book I did give him. (Maybe it was too old for him as it goes on a lot about contraception and STDs') It was the one from The Book people.

Here

It has a section on telling your boy firend that your pg, and suggests waiting calmly for him to recover from the shock.

DH took several months to recover from the shock, and we were 30 and married.

Thanks, looks like there's a few aimed around mid teens. I'll have a look and pick one, and hope its not too young for him. I'm sure a refresher would do him no harm anyway!
