Item Description... Overview A non-preachy follow-up to Technical Virgin counsels male teens on how to remain true to Christian principles regarding premarital sex in the face of societal beliefs about what is acceptable behavior, covering topics ranging from flirting versus foreplay and knowing what girls want to emotional virginity and the concept of friends with benefits. Original.
Publishers Description How far is too far? The successful Hungry Planet book "Technical Virgin" answered that question for girls. But what about the guys? Don't they too have questions about purity and sex that they want answered without preachiness or pandering? You bet they do. And that's where "Almost Sex "comes in. In the tradition of "Technical Virgin," this book speaks frankly to guys about the common misconceptions even Christian youths have about sexual loopholes that allow them to experience sexual activity without marriage. Michael DiMarco pulls no punches as he confronts guys with the choice between what the world calls acceptable and what God requires of his followers. Organized in such a way that youth groups can study both "Almost Sex" and "Technical Virgin" at the same time, this new book helps young men cope with all aspects of sexuality, including the difference between flirting and foreplay, what girls want from guys, emotional virginity, friends with benefits, and much more. |

 | good reading for my children Sep 30, 2011 |
| As you can see my books are for both my children boy and girl, I chose these books to help them with problems they both have, as you know our children think parents don't know what they're going through, the books I picked for them are a BLESSING. I am a single mom and good reading for my children's different situations was met by Bible Knowledge Bookstore. Thanks for being there! | | |  | Pass. May 6, 2010 |
If you're looking for a Christian teenage boy's guide to remaining abstinent and unhorny, look no further! Along with some dashed-off stick-figure drawings (think xkcd with none of the charm) that I imagine are intended to be appealing in an ironic sense, you'll find loads of threats and platitudes aimed at keeping kids abstinent until marriage, and plenty of bible verses to back it up.
Not only does this book rail against sex, it warns against masturbation, flirting, spooning, napping together, tickling, and even emotional closeness. Pretty much any physical or emotional contact between sexes outside of the confines of a church-sanctioned marriage between "one man and one woman" (yes, it uses that phrase) is frowned on.
Sex is basically described as a commodity that depreciates with use, and marriage as the penalty one must incur for access to sex. Premarital sex is compared to Starbucks giving coffee away for free and then wondering why they went broke.
If this premise goes along with your ideology, feel free to read this or pass it on to the teenage boys in your life. Though even then, with its style and lack of real information, it will only be useful to less sophisticated teens. | | | Write your own review about Almost Sex
