Peggy Orenstein goes behind the curtain to reveal the hidden realities of young men's sexual lives. From the pressures of toxic masculinity to the impact of online porn, she exposes the vulnerabilities and anxieties that boys face as they come of age. Through candid interviews, Orenstein paints a vivid portrait of how external forces shape boys' understanding of consent, intimacy, and their own identities. Shattering preconceptions, this eye-opening investigation challenges us to rethink how we raise the next generation of men.
