YA
This essay collection includes both teen erotica and feminist essays on sexual empowerment. While obviously a tough sell for some environments, the book's only real flaw is its unevenness in tone. As a whole, stories let teens see sex for whatever it may be for them (pleasurable or confusing, passionless or loving). Extensive back matter features resources (and reassurance) for parents, further reading, and websites.
