They have sex too early and for the wrong reasons.
They get STDs. They get pregnant too young.
They have "friends with benefits" but with no benefit to
themselves.
They don't get called. They get dumped.
They hate themselves for being unlovable for being needy.
They are loose girls they are everywhere and they need our help. In the provocative hit memoir Loose Girl, Kerry Cohen
explored her own promiscuity with brutal candor and stunning
clarity. Dirty Little Secrets is the eye-opening follow-up
readers have been clamoring for, a riveting look at today's
adolescent girls who use sex as a means to prove their
worth. Cohen lays bare the hard truths about this dangerous
life that reveals itself in girls you wouldn't expect and in
ways you might not see-and that can seriously damage and
hurt these girls. Featuring stories from self-admitted loose
girls across the country, Dirty Little Secrets is an
unforgettable wake-up call for our culture, ourselves, and
our vulnerable daughters. "Very few people can write about teen girls' sexual
promiscuity with the candor, empathy, and intelligence Kerry
Cohen does...I think any girl who reads this will recognize
at least one girl she knows-and that girl may be looking
back at her in the mirror."
-Rosalind Wiseman, new york times bestselling author of
QUEEN BEES AND WANNABES and BOYS, GIRLS, AND OTHER HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS "As compassionate as it is enlightening, Kerry Cohen's Dirty
Little Secrets argues for female safety and desire, and
provides a road map for authentically healthy, vital sexuality."
-Jennifer Baumgardner, author of Look Both Ways, F 'Em, and
Manifesta "A must-read, for it sheds light on the truth behind the
secrets and lies teens tell themselves... Women of all ages
can relate and benefit from this book-I can't recommend it
enough. Dirty Little Secrets is urgently needed."
-Amber Smith, model and star of Dr. Drew Pinsky's Celebrity
Rehab and Celebrity Sex Rehab "Kerry Cohen has 'been there'-and it shows in her empathy,
her insight, and her remarkable ability to draw out the
truth...Dirty Little Secrets busts the myths, breaks down
walls, and takes us where we need to go to understand the
private lives of so many young women today."
