When you were a teenager, what did you want to hear about sex? I would have wanted to hear that masturbating is a good thing to do, and doesn't mean you're pathetic and undesireable. That it's normal to be horny. That men are not as scary as most after-school-specials will have you believe. That sex is an emotionally intimate act. That unless you're in a serious relationship, experimenting with boys can lead to major embarrassment (oh my god, I did WHAT with WHO?). That it's okay to not know what the hell you're doing; boys don't care and will not make fun of you. That buying condoms is not embarrassing. That your safety and comfort are the most important things in the world.
