Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting our Children
by Joe S. Mcilhaney Freda Mckissic BushThrough scientific data put in layman’s terms, this book demonstrates that: i) Sexual activity releases chemicals in the brain, creating emotional bonds between partners, ii) Breaking these bonds can cause depression and make it harder to bond with someone else in the future, iii) Chemicals released in the brain during sex can become addictive, and iv) The human brain is not fully developed until a person reaches their mid-20s. Until then, it is harder to make wise relationship decisions. This book will help parents and singles understand that “safe sex” isn't safe at all; that even if they are protected against STDs and pregnancy, they are still hurting themselves and their partner.
