Read the opening
From chapter 1, "The Midnight Text". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.
Tuesday, 11:58pm. Amara's phone buzzes. It is her cousin Nneoma, a university student.
Aunty Amara, can I ask you something I cannot ask my mum? Please do not tell anyone.
Amara was not really Nneoma's aunty, just an older cousin, but in her family anyone ten years older became "Aunty." She sat up in bed.
Of course. Ask me anything. No judgement.
The three dots appeared and disappeared four times. Then: My boyfriend and I have been together for eight months. We are thinking about having sex for the first time. I do not know what to expect. My friends say it hurts and you bleed. Is that true? And how do I know if I am ready?
The same night, a different phone. Jide's.
Tobi had caught Jide after football that evening, hands in his pockets, eyes on the ground. "Can I ask you something? Not in the meeting. Just you."
"Of course."
"My girlfriend and I... we are thinking about it. The first time. I am scared I will get it wrong. Everyone acts like they know everything. I know nothing. What if I... I do not know... finish too fast? Or cannot? Or hurt her?"
