Apple Pies and Other Lies
Author(s): Vanessa K Bowen
Lesbian & Bi Biography / Memoir
Growing up in the 90's, my weekends were punctuated with endless VHS tapes and sleepovers with
friends. As the calendar flipped over to the 2000's and we became teenagers, those weekend gettogethers inevitably began to include discussions of crushes and our own emerging sexuality. My early
years were spent in a conservative small town with little in the way of sex education and practically no
access to sex-positive resources. As such, the teen movies of the 90's and 2000's taught me much of
what I knew about sex and sexuality.
This book is a love letter to the movies I grew up with, a deep-dive into the teen films of the 90's and
2000's and the depictions of sexuality they contain. I'm taking a closer look at how these movies shaped
my own ideas about sex, and how they measure up to real-life experiences and sexual facts. Apple Pies
and Other Lies explores the ways in which entertainment has been used to fill the gaps in our sexual
knowledge, and why it's no substitute for comprehensive sex -ed.
