Good, empowering read about girls and sexual attitudes. Cohen treats the subject with honesty and candor. One of the most impressive statements comes from a section on "good" girls and virginity. We are taught to "respect" our bodies and not give sex away, wait until marriage. Cohen says how is that respecting your body, when you deny yourself pleasure? Not that 13 year olds should be sexually active; just that waiting for marriage and being virginal does not make you more of a woman or more respectable.
I think this is a must read for any teenage girl, or her parents. Preferably both, and then a discussion should follow. (

Dirty Little Secrets offers a more academic (and somewhat drier) perspective than Kerry Cohen's memoir Loose Girl. There's certainly insight here, and the subject matter is important, but the style didn't manage to consistently hold my attention, and I felt that (for such an emotional weighty topic), the book felt light on content, with too much repetition and self-referencing.

This is an excellent book to pair with Jessica Valent's The Purity Myth. Cohen, a practicing psychotherapist, offers an empathetic, insightful, and thoughtful look at why adolescent girls and young women use sex as a means to prove their self-worth, and successfully tears down many myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes.

I found this book to be a very interesting and fact filled book. I was expecting something like Loose Girl, but this book did not read like that at all. However, I do think this is a must read for any parent with a teenage daughter. (

I'm going to start by saying I loved Kerry Cohen's Loose Girl, and was really excited to read this book. I've been trying to read it for months now, and I feel like I'm back in college reading a text book. The information is so cut and dry, and there is just so much on a single page, that I found myself having to reread the page just to make sure I understood what was written. I guess I expected this to be in a more informative format and not in a textbook format. If someone is doing a research project on promiscuity in teens, this would be a great reference guide. I wish I had a better review. (
