Ask me if I want it

Written for teenagers but equally valuable for adults, this book serves as a compass for navigating the world of emotional, social and sexual relationships. It explores needs, emotions and desires, while also addressing the cultural conditioning that influences us daily — what the author refers to as “the water in the fish tank”. Through real-life examples, short stories and everyday scenarios (such as body shaming, non-consensual image sharing, bullying and marginalisation), the book supports readers in discovering more about themselves and others.

The second part focuses on practical tools: How can you recognise a toxic relationship? How do you communicate clearly and respectfully? What can you do as an ally or witness to violent or disrespectful behaviour? Ask Me If I Want To answers with clarity and empathy, offering a safe space for reflection, learning and personal growth.
