Friends With Benefits - Shahla Khan - Bog

Friends With Benefits is a crash course in adult sex education that unifies humankind against gender based violence. Loneliness is an epidemic. Over 40% of adults suffer from loneliness in their lifetime - young adults being particularly vulnerable - and research shows that direct loneliness impacts our physical health as much as cigarette addiction! In Friends With Benefits, Shahla Khan, an expert in the prevention of gender-based violence, shows how loneliness can also make you vulnerable to violent, gender-based crimes, either as a victim, or as an offender. Shahla demonstrates how friends, particularly those of the opposite sex, can help manage your well-being, provide tough love, and act as an always-available personal therapist.. Too many books spend too much time dishing out the Mars-Venus philosophy - finding the differences between men and women, and relying on harmful pop psychology. The fact is that men and women are both from Earth, and learning to see a human as a friend removes invisible barriers that have been drawn by this defeatist self-help literature. Friends With Benefits will teach you: How to find and be a better friend Staying away from isolation-related habits How to think outside the gender box, seeing yourself and others as humans Dating and mating without sexual double standards Joining the social movement in gender-based violence prevention Shahla Khan presents all this and more, in a smart new way; Friends With Benefits shows you how to beat loneliness, make friends, date healthy, and end rape.
