Summary:
Respect is a unique guide about sex, and it speaks to its readers with complete honesty, whether the topic is intimate hygiene, penis size, or bodily fluids. At the same time, the book shows us how to treat others to make them feel comfortable and safe. “The foundation of good sex and love is respect,” says the author at the start of this book, which aims to support boys at a time when society is changing and men are searching for new ways of being men.

Comment:
Respect offers open, honest sexual education for boys in today’s world. It successfully avoids stereotypical ways of thinking, for example, heteronormativity, which can be rare when topics like these are discussed, specifically aimed at boys. In a world full of confusion, societal pressures, and contradictory information about who a person can be, this book offers boys well-informed help with getting to know yourself, your body, learning to communicate, and knowing the importance of consent from both sides.
