Not everyone gets a sex talk, and not every sex talk is a helpful one. YKW* allows teens to learn about sex outside of the moral constraints of their households or schools and without the heteronormative attitudes commonly imposed by society. Porn and media give young people unrealistic ideas of sex, masking reality and leaving them to be unprepared.

Playful illustrations and a bright color palette draw the reader in and help tell a story rather than just list facts. The school binder-like nature of the set gives the reader a familiar comfort, while the multiple levels of privacy through hidden fold-out content and acetate overlays allow them to carry it around with confidence. YKW would be available at local libraries, aiming to give access to this information to communities where technology such as smart phones and personal laptops are not readily available.
