Okies | Aug 14, 2023 |   I'm considering buying a printed copy of this book because I think it will be beneficial to look back on! A good read! (  ) RebMarAra | Jun 25, 2023 | I loved this book because it gives a voice to the emotional aspects of sex from a college age male perspective. It's a voice, not of anger, but more confusion. A cry for help. The book reminds us that we men generally have physical strength advantages over women .. but we still have emotional vulnerabilities. Peggy went interviewing young men mostly going to college or about to. They opened up a lot to her and allow us a peek into their psyche. I spent a lot of time reflecting on how much effort I spend to be "manly". I work in an industrywhere men normally outnumber the women. And I'm not a drinker, hunter, or care what kind of car anyone drives (one does it move? Two does it have working air conditioning?) I have at least graduated from scrawny to skinny in the past few years. I've grown up realizing that I'm more of a Samwise Gamgee archetype than an Aragon. More Sam Tully than Jon Snow. More Q then 007. Because I lack some of the traditional manly characteristics, I changed the way to generate "manly" points. I can discuss musicals with the wife. I can make my 5 year old daughter laugh while I "walk" in a mermaid tale. And I totally know what a duvet is. Holding a job, providing for a family, keeping your word ... having people in your life who are happy to see you ... those are ways I earn manly points. My daughter's 5 year old friend asked "Are there ugly people?" I responded, "No, but there are ugly behaviors." It's easy to vilify and condemn men for their monstrous actions. It's easy to vilify an condemn people for their beliefs. I find life is more complicated than that and we affect each other in so many ways (including sex). Emotionally humans are a strong as a butterfly ...fortunately and unfortunately, a flap of a butterfly wing can generate a hurricane. (  ) wellington299 | Feb 19, 2022 | It's a brisk, easy read that relies heavily on interviews, with backup research: the effect of porn on teenage boys (poor), consent, masculinity, assault, hookup culture. The key takeaways here are that we need to be having a lot more conversations with our sons about their feelings, about healthy relationships, about sexuality, about how porn differs from real sex (especially when you consume a great deal of porn before having ever had real world experience), assault, hookup culture and being able to decide what you want out of an encounter, and consent--not just verbal yes and no, but reading emotions, not coercing women, and what respect really means.

HTML: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Now in paperbackâ??Peggy Orenstein, author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller Girls & Sex, turns her focus to the sexual lives of young men. "Eye-opening.... Every few pages, the boy world cracks open a little bit.... Even in the most anxiety-provoking moments of Boys & Sex, it's clear that Orenstein believes in the goodness of boys and the men they can become, and she believes in us, as parents, to raise them" (New York Times Book Review). Peggy Orenstein's Girls & Sex broke ground, shattered taboos, and launched conversations about young women's right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters. It also had an unexpected effect on its author: Orenstein realized that talking about girls is only half the conversation. Boys are subject to the same cultural forces as girlsâ??steeped in the same distorted media images and binary stereotypes of female sexiness and toxic masculinityâ??which equally affect how they navigate sexual and emotional relationships. In Boys & Sex, Peggy Orenstein dives back into the lives of young people to once again give voice to the unspoken, revealing how young men understand and negotiate the new rules of physical and emotional intimacy. Drawing on comprehensive interviews with young men, psychologists, academics, and experts in the field, Boys & Sex dissects so-called locker room talk; how the word "hilarious" robs boys of empathy; pornography as the new sex education; boys' understanding of hookup culture and consent; and their experience as both victims and perpetrators of sexual violence. By surfacing young men's experience in all its complexity, Orenstein is able to unravel the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important realities of young male sexuality in today's world. The result is a provocative and paradigm-shifting work that offers a much-needed vision of how boys can truly move forward as better Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The boys who talk to the author, I hold hope for them. But wow, I can't believe that boys are just as trapped as ever in peer pressure, lack of self-confidence and so forth.
There's been such a sexual revolution, a gender revolution, the women's movement - all good things, but nevertheless, it has come without a guidebook. The young people interviewed here feel like the blind leading the blind ... (
