We are scientists/anatomy & physiology professors/educators/moms/artists/information junkies and the parents to boys (and girls), and we've noticed a distinct lack of approachable factual information out there for the pre-pubescent and adolescent boy.



So, we are in the early stages of planning a book for boys that will be

a) based in real science (anatomy, physiology, developmental biology) when possible

b) have some actual well-researched statistics about sexuality

c) be clever and silly enough that our boys (target range 8-13) would want to read it.



Our challenge is ... we were never adolescent boys.



If you are willing, we'd love your help in knowing which questions never got answered (either at all, or truthfully) for you - or your boys - while you were going through this weird stage of development. Your answers are anonymous unless you choose to give your name and contact information.



There are only a handful of questions, and YOU CAN ANSWER ONE OF THEM, SOME OF THEM, OR ALL OF THEM. We're just happy to learn what you have to say.



Our perspective is that perhaps these years could be navigated more successfully with a bit less moralizing and dogma, and a little more science and hilarity.



Thanks, in advance for your help!
