This introductory guide by 'Dolly Doctor' Dr Melissa Kang and journalist Yumi Stynes (Ladies, We Need to Talk) is packed with honest advice on everything you need to know about sex: how to know when you're ready, reasons not to have sex, and exploring pleasure on your own – as well as frank, clear information about becoming sexually intimate with others, staying safe, and how to communicate (including talking to your parents about sex – this is really important). Plus everything you've ever wondered about wobbly starts and awkward moments!
Welcome to Sex is inclusive, intersectional, multicultural, reassuring and all about keeping sex fun, real, and shame-free. With plenty of case studies, first-person accounts and questions from real teens – covering a wide range of gender, sexuality and dis/ability – Welcome to Sex will help readers navigate their sexual debuts with confidence!
Welcome to Sex covers a wide range of age-appropriate content for teens, including:
Dr Melissa Kang and Yumi Stynes are the best-selling, award-winning authors of four books together: Welcome to Your Period, Welcome to Your Boobs, Welcome to Consent and Welcome to Sex.
Most people know Dr Melissa Kang as the longest-serving expert behind the iconic Dolly Doctor column, but she’s also a practising medical doctor for marginalised young people and has academic roles at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Sydney. She is fifth-generation Malaysian-Chinese Anglo-Australian, which makes specialising in adolescent sexuality and sexual health all the more interesting. She continues to speak about these topics in the mainstream media.
Yumi Stynes is a second-gen Japanese-Australian TV and radio presenter who, like a lot of us, had to ‘unlearn’ period shame. She’s currently the host of Ladies, We Need to Talk, an award-winning podcast that explores all the trickiest topics and taboos about women’s health, including periods, discharge, difficult motherhood, and whether or not your vagina is weird.
