Thanks for starting to share book titles and perspectives on the way sex and sexual expression has been and is portrayed in ya lit, as well as articles and books on this topic.
This morning I recalled a wonderful short story collection, 101 Ways to Dance by Kathy Stinson (Second Story Press, 2007), that offers a terrific range of characters, encounters and experiences. Kathy Stinson explores sexual anticipation and sexual engagement among teenagers in 14 stories about adolescent teens, experiencing everything from the first charged feelings of excitement to physical desire and physical pleasure. They are also navigating an array of emotional responses—both their own and others—to their sexual awakening and experience
As both a librarian and the parent of a young teen I appreciate books like this offering honest depictions of sexual encounters and experiences that incorporate not just the physical aspect of sexual feelings and expression but also the emotional.
