Modern society imposes many stereotypes about what a real man should be. But these stereotypes only lead to relationship problems, increased sexual violence and psychological disorders. Journalist Peggy Orenstein conducted a survey of more than a hundred young people about what they themselves think about the image of an ideal man. The result is a very important and frank conversation about gender characteristics and the intimate lives of young guys, about male sexuality in the new millennium. The book will be useful for young people who want to know more about growing up, about sex, about love and close relationships. And also to parents of boys, for whom this book will help prepare for a conversation with their sons on these difficult topics.
