When it comes to talking about sex, relationships, and consent, nothing is ever simple—especially as a teenager. But it doesn’t have to be awkward. In this funny, down-to-earth guide, Dr. Drew and his daughter, Paulina, break down the three most important aspects of any healthy relationship: trust, compassion, and boundaries. Together, they will use these principles to address all your questions about crushes, friendships, and sex, and give you the easy-to-remember foundations of consent.

Filled with tangible and accessible resources, this is the perfect guide for teens, parents, and educators to go beyond “the talk” and dive into honest and meaningful conversations about sex, relationships, and consent.
