Reviews
“Young people’s voices are rarely heard, particularly on the subject of sex. It is vital that people of all ages hear what young people really have to say, and get a glimpse of their experiences, putting the most stock in what they have to say about their lives and sexualities, not in what adults present or project. Laid offers readers the rare opportunity to do just that. Adults can use this book to become better allies and mentors; teens and young adults can find familiar mirrors they know and an unguarded diversity peer-posturing often obscures.”
—Heather Corinna, Founder of Scarleteen.com and author of S.E.X.: The All-You-Need-To-Know Progressive Sexuality Guide to Get You Through High School and College
“For young people, this book will allow them to see how other people handled situation that they might find themselves in … Laid is a fun, easy entrance for teenagers into the world of thinking realistically about sex. And of course, for sex educators, the ways to use Laid in the classroom are practically endless.”
