#140 - Boys and Sex: Navigating the new masculinity with bestselling author Peggy Orenstein

Author Peggy Orenstein is back on the show with her instant New
York Times Bestseller, Boys and Sex. Tune in to hear insights
from her conversations with over 100 boys from high school to
college across the U.S. We discuss why parents aren’t talking to
their boys about sex and intimacy even though they really want
the space to explore, to be vulnerable, and to figure it out, not
just absorb the cultural narrative about masculinity that was
created for them. We chat about how this conversation gap,
especially between boys and dads, can harm today’s boys and girls
in the context of consent, hookup culture, and forming intimate
relationships with partners.


Don’t miss Peggy’s first appearance on Body Kindness when we
discussed Girls and Sex in a conversation about intimate justice
- Episode 31: Intimate Justice with Bestselling Author Peggy
Orenstein, Girls and Sex.
