Fantastic new South Australian book




If you are working with young people and want a good book to access that is easy to read and factual then you might want to try this book. 'Sexpectations'. This book was co authored by Craig Murray (with Leissa Pitts). He is an awesome SHineSA community health worker. I have seen Craig work over many years and he really connects with young people and has been instrumental in getting 'sex positive' on the agenda in South Australia.



Here is what Craig said recently on the booktopia blog.



Sexpectations aims to fill a few gaps in sexual health education. For too long sex ed has started & finished in contraception and sexually transmitted infections, if you were lucky you’d get some info on puberty but so much is still left out. Having said that there are a heap of amazing programs that address all these and more but there’s a lot of folks, young & old, that have missed out on some of the vital info. We hope to talk about sex in a healthy positive way, acknowledging the risks but also celebrating the pleasures of relationships, sex & sexuality.



I know that SHineSA has Sexpextations in the library, so if you are in Woodville anytime soon come in and borrow it. Otherwise get on to the booktopia site and get your own copy.
