{"product_id":"9781575673981","title":"Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children","description":"Society tells us that sex is an act of self-expression, a personal choice for physical pleasure that can be summed up in the ubiquitous phrase: \"hooking up\". Millions of American teenagers and young adults are finding that the psychological baggage of such behavior is having a real and lasting impact on their lives. They are discovering that \"hooking up\" is the easy part, but \"unhooking\" from the bonds of a sexual relationship can have serious consequences. A practical look into new scientific research showing how sexual activity causes the release of brain chemicals, which then result in emotional bonding and a powerful desire to repeat the activity. This book will help parents and singles understand that \"safe sex\" isn't safe at all; that even if they are protected against STDs and pregnancy, they are still hurting themselves and their partner.","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157152809200,"sku":"9781575673981","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575673981_p0.jpg?v=1763783730","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575673981","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
