I read the book in one week. The content is crystal clear. The influence of the unlimited access to violent porn that current teenagers and young adults are growing up with is not a positive one. The sex positive movement has huge flaws which are not being discussed enough. So many parents and teachers have no clue about how much extreme content is accessed online by children, and how often.
The result? "A culture where girls "give" sexual pleasure but rarely receive, whilst boys fuck with ambivalence and detachment, porno style." If this sounds like exaggeration or over-dramatisation, I assure you, it's not. The statistics on sexual assault - some taking place in preimary schools!! - don't lie.
It's not all doom and gloom though, and Soma Sara is great at offering solutions and encouraging more empathy and dialogue.
I'm grateful to Tandem Collective and Simon Schuster for the copy of the book as well as the journaling and discussion prompts.
