Following her bestselling book Girls & Sex, acclaimed journalist Peggy Orenstein returns with an honest, deeply researched look at how young men today understand sex, love, masculinity, and vulnerability — and how all of it is shaped by culture, media, and silence.
In Boys & Sex, Orenstein speaks directly with teen boys and young men, as well as educators, psychologists, and experts, to unpack what’s really going on behind the bravado. She explores everything from hookup culture and porn to consent, emotional intimacy, and the quiet pressures of being “man enough.”
Far from a one-sided critique, this is a compassionate and confronting investigation that refuses to reduce young men to clichés. Instead, it opens space for honest conversations about male sexuality — and how boys can grow into men who value communication, connection, and respect.
Why it matters:
- Challenges outdated ideas of masculinity
- Tackles porn, peer pressure, and emotional literacy
- Supports healthier, more informed conversations about sex
- Ideal for parents, educators, and young adults alike
Empowering and eye-opening, Boys & Sex is a vital companion for anyone raising or relating to boys in a changing world.
