‘In Case You’re Curious’ is the Holy Grail for Sexual Health Info

Sexual education in school consists of traditional views regarding sex, and often, the content is only surface level, if it’s existent at all. Planned Parenthood  of the Rocky Mountains have created the holy grail question-and-answer resource for all things regarding sexual curiosities.

In Case You’re Curious: Questions About Sex from Young People with Answers from Experts is a book that covers topics such as sexual health and relationships. In Case You’re Curious talks about these subject matters in an accurate way both medically and culturally. The topics are derived from the system created by Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ textline of the same name: In Case You’re Curious. It allows people to text a question to an expert and be given an answer or direction to other resources. This is done with consideration given to age and accuracy, and it creates a judgment-free dialogue.

“Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ Responsible Sex Education Institute has been committed to delivering complete sexual and reproductive health information to young people for over a decade. We’re excited and proud to share In Case You’re Curious as a fun, inclusive resource for young people—and people of all ages. We know that getting accurate, reliable answers to their questions helps young people make healthy decisions about their bodies in the present and throughout their lives.” said Alison Macklin, the vice president of education and innovation at Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.

In Case You’re Curious: Questions About Sex from Young People with Answers from Experts can be used to begin discussions about reproductive health within families and schools. The book is not overrun with text, and it sets an approachable mood, as it is paired with illustrations.

The importance of teaching adolescents about reproductive health lies within the numbers. Guttmacher reported that from 2015 to 2017, 40 percent of teenagers ranging from the ages of 15-19 have reported engaging in penile-vaginal sex. In 2017, people ages 15-19 made up more than 62 percent of reported chlamydia cases.
