Understanding Sexual Identity
Janice E. Rench
- Reading
- Use the question-and-answer structure to follow the topics that matter to your reader. Pause at sexual-health sections to check what they understand and what they would like to discuss further.
- Themes
- Sexual identity and relationships: The book presents factual questions and answers about gay people and relationships, and what identity may mean to a teenager; friends and coming out are named sections. Its stated approach is to present facts and address questions, making this an informational treatment of identity and relationships.
- Question-and-answer structure: The book is organised as questions and answers, with topics including friends and coming out. This structure offers a way to approach the subject through individual questions rather than a continuous narrative.
- Worth knowing
- Sexual health is part of the subject matter, including references to intercourse, condoms, HIV and sexually transmitted diseases; consider whether you want to read or discuss these topics together.
