While arguments for and against teaching abstinence, the use of contraceptives, and sexual identity are becoming more and more polarised, most people agree that students must learn to navigate an increasingly sexual world.

As part of a critical pedagogy movement that connects education to social justice enterprises, this book and the corresponding online curriculum encourage students to talk, write, and think about the moral and relational issues underlying sex in society today. Addressing the real concerns of today s teens, this book includes lessons on pornography, prostitution, media objectification, religion, and stereotypes.
