Let's Talk About It

"Open, modern and intelligent. An essential addition to any library. The missing book for young people just beginning to navigate the wonderful, complex and often perplexing world of sexuality and relationships. Fantastic!" -- Michael Emberley, co-creator of It's Perfectly Normal

"At last! An accessible sex education book for adolescents that doesn't try to scare kids. Moen and Nolan's book is friendly, joyful and non-shaming. Every teen, whatever their color, shape, gender or orientation, will feel accepted as they find themselves in the pages of this delightful new book." -- David J. Ley PhD, author of The Myth of Sex Addiction

"Like sex itself, this book is a superb balance of contradictory forces: sass and sincerity, friendship and lust, support and straight talk. It's frank and funny, and 100% real. I won't be giving it to my daughter because she'll never read it if I do, and she NEEDS to read it. Instead, I'm going to leave it lying out where she can find it when I'm not around." -- Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Attack Surface

"I didn't learn half of this stuff until after grad school, so the fact that teens have access to this knowledge reassures me the future will be much more sexually healthy and liberated than it is today." - Eric Sprankle, Co-Director, Sexuality Studies Program, Minnesota State University

"For years, Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan have been honing their sex education skills -- and this volume is a gorgeous culmination of their efforts. Beautifully drawn and easy to read, it's an accessible guide that's great for sex ed students of all ages. Whether you're a teen just beginning to learn the ABCs of S-E-X, or an adult wishing you could go back and do high school sex ed in a shame-free, supportive environment, this book is a must read." -- Lux Alptraum, author of Faking It: The Lies Women Tell About Sex and the Truths They Reveal

'Let's Talk About It is a much needed inclusive, accessible comic guide to love and sex for teens. Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan do a great job of covering the questions young people really want answered, through dialogues between a beautifully drawn cast of characters who're navigating their own way through this complex, confusing territory. The guidance given is warm, friendly, realistic, and clear, likely to alleviate much of the fear and shame readers have around these topics." - Meg-John Barker, author of A Practical Guide to Sex

"I would have devoured this book cover to cover as a high schooler or young adult and I'm so glad it exists today as a parent! This book is a valuable resource that I'll be recommending to parents and their kids alike. Addressing body image, communication and consent, anatomy and gender diversity and more, Let's Talk About It offers comprehensive and inclusive sex education, surely a valuable resource and tool in our modern age." - Elle Stranger, certified holistic sex educator, podcaster

"Finally, sex ed that's more than just mechanics! Let's Talk About It is sweet, silly, disarming, and refreshingly honest about the diversity of human bodies." - Hans Lindahl, intersex educator

"I wish I'd had Let's Talk About It when I was coming into my sexuality. I picked up a couple of tips myself. I'm thrilled that this will exist in the world as a resource to refer people to. This work is a crucial part of compensating for our country's lack of functional sex ed." - Stoya, sex advice columnist

"Based on Erika and Matt's past work, I already knew that I would like Let's Talk About It but I wasn't prepared for how much I would love (and I mean LOVE) this book. Let's Talk About It is a beacon of light for teenagers and parents who are doing their best to sort out hormones, bodies, sex, gender, flirting, dating, and who they are or who they love. This is what sex education at its best -- accurate information, engaging characters, and a reassuring tone. Highly recommended." -- Debby Herbenick, PhD, Professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health and author of The Coregasm Workout

"Every parent of a teen (or soon to be teen) should read this book and then share it with their child. While the book is aimed at teens, the information is very relevant for adults too. We can all learn something from Let's Talk About It." -- Searah Deysach, sex educator and founder of Early to Bed

"Let's Talk About It is charming, funny, and chock-full of crucial advice for navigating the complexities of sex, relationships, identity, and more. I wish I had this book when I was a teenager." -- Jeph Jacques, author of Questionable Content

"My life would have been so much better if I'd had access to a book like this when I was a teenager. Well, let's be honest. Even if I'd had access to it in my thirties, it would have saved me a ton of embarrassment and heartache. I'm a huge fan of Erika's work, and this continues in her amazing tradition of giving clear, sensible, honest, and joyful discussions of complex issues. I'm delighted to have a resource like this available for my own kids when the time comes." -- Patrick Rothfuss, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Name of the Wind

"I want to slip this book into the backpack of every teen. Erika and Matt's body-positive, sexiness-positive comics are a beacon of honesty and joy in a world that paints regular human activities as shameful and weird." -- Sarah Mirk, author of You Do You: Figuring Out Your Body, Dating, and Sexuality
