For Goodness Sex

For Goodness Sex: Changing the Way We Talk to Teens About Sexuality, Values, and Health is a guide by sexuality educator Al Vernacchio that helps adults move beyond shame based sex education toward conversations grounded in justice, care, and mutual respect. Vernacchio, a longtime high school teacher and nationally recognized speaker, shares classroom stories, frameworks, and practical activities that families and educators can adapt to their own contexts. He emphasizes ongoing dialogue about pleasure, consent, relationships, and media rather than one awkward “talk.” Homeschool parents use For Goodness Sex to design comprehensive, values aligned sex education for teens that treats them as developing moral agents rather than problems to control.
