    Let author Gia Lynne provides the tools for creating you with a sex positive life. Her advice on anatomy, puberty, orgasm, safe sex, and more is designed to create joy and pleasure—for men and women, young and old.This is not your typical sex ed book. Instead of typically puritanical views on sex and puberty, On Blossoming focuses on incorporating the principles of pleasure into sex education for our youth and creates a new paradigm of human sexuality. This book takes on a taboo topic in our culture backed with a compelling mixture of research and personal experience.Author Gia Lynne’s biggest question is, how can we expect to have sexual health if we do not learn about pleasure before our first sexual experiences? Our collective social stigma around talking about sex—most of all good sex—prevents these conversations from happening and it’s having a detrimental effect on our teens of all genders and our society as a whole. On Blossoming includes chapters on:Sensuality and SexualityAnatomy with an Emphasis on PleasurePuberty, Bodies, and, Oh, These Changing TimesMenarche and Heat Cycles (We Really Are Mammals, After All)“The M-Thing” and Taking Care of Your BodyThe Big “O”How Do You DO?: Creating a Deliberate OrgasmSafe Sex and all about LatexDouble “C’s”—Communication and ConsentNuts and Bolts of FriendshipHow to Talk about the Birds and the BeesWritten for people of all ages and genders, it’s time to rework the standard script of sexual education and fill in the gaps.
