The book is called "Jack of Hearts, and other body parts".
I have read it, and it is not a book that is about sex. It talks about gay sex, but the real message in the story is about someone who is reckless with sex, and takes it to the point where he gets threats. I think the book message could be for anyone that is a teenager, gay, straight, or bisexual and acts reckless. Below is an excerpt and a little detail about the book, along with the book cover.
"My first time getting it in the butt was kind of weird. I think it's going to be weird for everyone's first time, though."
Meet Jack Rothman. He's seventeen and loves partying, makeup and boys - sometimes all at the same time. His sex life makes him the hot topic for the high school gossip machine. But who cares? Like Jack always says, 'it could be worse'.
He doesn't actually expect that to come true.
But after Jack starts writing an online sex advice column, the mysterious love letters he's been getting take a turn for the creepy. Jack's secret admirer knows everything: where he's hanging out, who he's sleeping with, who his mum is dating. They claim they love Jack, but not his unashamedly queer lifestyle. They need him to curb his sexuality, or they'll force him.
As the pressure mounts, Jack must unmask his stalker before their obsession becomes genuinely dangerous...

I just started reading this book, I am at the part where Jack received his 3rd note. I like it so far, and the suspense is building as on this 3rd note, I sensed the writer of it was a little annoyed that Jack tore up the note. I think they could have toned down a lot of the sexual references to make it more suitable for us to have it in our school library.
