When Boys Learn Sex from Silence
Picture a generation of young men navigating sexuality with no roadmap, learning everything from the worst possible teachers. When the #MeToo movement swept across America, parents of daughters felt vindicated-finally, the culture was addressing sexual misconduct. But parents of sons faced a more unsettling realization: they'd been raising boys in a vacuum, assuming silence would somehow produce good men. The result? Young men cobbling together their understanding of sex, relationships, and masculinity from porn, locker room talk, and hookup culture's unwritten rules. Through conversations with over 100 young men aged 16-22, a troubling pattern emerges-boys desperately want guidance but rarely receive it from the adults in their lives. Even Barack Obama recognized the urgency, adding this exploration to his 2020 summer reading list. What these young men reveal isn't just about sex-it's about an entire generation caught between outdated masculine ideals and new expectations, trying to figure out who they're supposed to become.
