Welcome to Sex

There’s no denying it – sex can be pretty tricky ... and talking about sex can feel weird and so uncomfortable. But it doesn’t have to be that way!This little audiobook is packed with honest advice on everything you need to know about sex – how to know when you’re ready and reasons to not have sex, exploring pleasure on your own to becoming sexually intimate with others, contraception and staying safe, how to communicate about sex, wobbly starts and awkward moments (including talking to your parents about sex).This audiobook contains adult themes and sexual references, and is recommended for teenagers aged 14 and over.

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 writer, broadcaster, television presenter, food fanatic, fitness enthusiast and mother-of-four – including two teenage girls. Yumi's latest book is Welcome To Consent, following the bestselling Welcome to Your Period. Among her daily responsibilities she presents a national radio show on the KIIS network called The 3pm Pickup. She also hosts an ABC podcast about women's health called Ladies, We Need to Talk.
