I'm looking for a book to give to my mom, that isn't too graphic or crude, and talks about sexuality in young adults. Hoping for something to explain that having sex or doing sexual activities doesn't make one an unwanted tainted slut, and that men actually do think of more than just one thing.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I think "Everything You Never Wanted Your Kids to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid They'd Ask)" by Richardson & Schuster has a lot of great stuff in it. It does a really good job of setting up how we're sexual starting from within the womb. It's also written by doctors, so that might make it seem more credible to her.

I'd also strongly suggest "The Sex Lives of Teenagers" by Dr. Lynn Ponton.
