What does the process of sexual maturation consist of? Why is the sexual problem treated with such mystery by schools, families, and public opinion as a whole? What do the discomforts, hot flashes, oppressive daydreams, isolation, and other symptoms that appear in young people mean? What are the ways out of their sexual problems?

Is its solution possible or not within the current social conditions? These questions are answered in the significant book by Wilhelm Reich, which was written for youth without any age restrictions.

Its purpose is not the usual 'explanation' which serves as an evasion from the problem of youth sexual relationships, but aims to provide young people, according to scientifically based beliefs, with specific answers that address the major issue of their sexual maturation.
