Finally, a book that tackles the reality of porn for young people - honest, essential, and overdue.
Bill Taverner, MA, CSE, ABS President, Sex Ed Lecture Series
In Porn Is Not Sex Ed, Jess Melendez applies learning principles effectively, meeting young people where they are. A standout feature of this book is its conversational tone. It doesn't lecture the reader; instead, it invites them into reflection, treating the reader respectfully not only as a partner in learning but as the most crucial voice in the journey. The book is filled with new insights, reflective questions, engaging activities, puzzles, and colorful, diverse, and informative images that supplement the text. The chapters address many essential elements of sex education- anatomy, body image, communication, consent, safer sex, and more-integrating porn literacy to enhance the overall well-being of the reader, without siloing it as a separate topic. Grab a few copies of this book to share with the young people in your life, and help them grow into sexually healthy adults.

If we don't teach sex ed, porn will and Jess Melendez did the heartwork to teach the sex ed we all deserved in this dynamic book. It will engage young readers to be critical, introspective, and intentional in their relationships with others and their own body. It's the resource parents, educators, and clinicians have been waiting for and the accessible tool young people need to navigate our sex-illiterate society

Being exposed to porn is not the same as learning about sex, and young people deserve to know the difference. As a sex educator, I know how important it is to have honest, open conversations and Porn is Not Sex Ed! gives us the tools to start them.
