Reviews
"This is the best book I have ever read about sexual desire and why some couples just stop having sex, and what they can do about it. Come As You Are is an absolutely necessary guide for all couples who want to understand the ups and downs in their own sex life. It is a must read!" --John Gottman, Ph.D., author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, "Nagoski's book deserves plaudits for the rare achievement of merging pop science and the sexual self-help genre in prose that's not insufferably twee. . . . [ Come As You Are ] offers up hard facts on the science of arousal and desire in a friendly and accessible way." -- The Guardian (UK), "Emily Nagoski is worth her weight in TED Talks, and Come as You Are is a master-class in the science of sex." -- Ian Kerner, sex therapist and bestselling author of She Comes First, "It's the science of sex, decoded and demystified. Want to be educated on the latest findings about female genitalia? Of course you do. Empowering and sex-positive at best, this informative read makes for an enticing bedfellow." --Refinery29, "Wonderful new language to help us articulate to women (and their lovers) what is going on." -- Huffington Post, "Lots of books -- and articles and experts -- claim to have the keys to transform your sex life. This one actually has it. It isn't as fast as taking a pill, but it will last a whole lot longer. You will find no hot new bedroom moves -- it's that deeper-level soul stuff. You know, the stuff that actually works." --Salon.com, "Emily Nagoski has written one of the most important books about sex any woman (or anybody else) could ever pick up, full of insights that are both fascinating and deeply useful. Synthesizing new research and theory about sexuality with old-school sex-positive information of the sort you didn't learn in sex ed (unless, perhaps, you are a Unitarian, or Scandinavian, or lucky enough to be in Dr. Nagoski's class), I guarantee Come As You Are will open minds and change lives." -- Carol Queen, Ph.D., Founding director, Center for Sex & Culture, "Like a punch to the gut. When I read the passage that made me realize--after all these years--that I was not actually broken, I began to cry. . . . I wished [Nagoski] was someone who was actively in my life, someone I could reach out to for grounding every time I momentarily forgot the lessons in her book." --Book Riot
Synopsis
In the twentieth century, women's sexuality was seen as "Men's Sexuality Lite": basically the same, but not quite as good. From genital response to sexual desire to orgasm, we just couldn't understand that complicated, inconsistent, crazy-making "lady business." That is, until Emily Nagoski changed the game with her New York Times bestseller Come As You Are. Using groundbreaking science and research, she reveals in this new and updated edition the secret truths behind maximizing sexual wellbeing, including: Turning on the Ons, Turning off the offs: Your brain interprets sexual response as a series of gas and brake pedals. Too many women work to press the accelerator without understanding that first they need to let up on the brakes. Taking Control of the Context: Just as tickling can be fun in a positive context but irritating in a negative context, almost any sensation-especially a sexual response-requires positive context to make it a pleasurable one. Responsive Desire: Most of us expect sexual desire to be spontaneous and "out of the blue," emerging in anticipation of pleasure, but it's more common for desire to emerge in response to pleasure. Pleasure first, then desire. Altogether, they prove that what makes a confident and joy-filled sex life is not what the parts are or how they're organized, but how you feel about them. Stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in sexual wellbeing: they are central to it-and even if you don't yet feel that way, you are already sexually whole. Book jacket., A revised and updated edition of Emily Nagoski's game-changing New York Times bestseller Come As You Are , featuring new information and research on mindfulness, desire, and pleasure that will radically transform your sex life. For much of the 20th and 21st centuries, women's sexuality was an uncharted territory in science, studied far less frequently--and far less seriously--than its male counterpart. That is, until Emily Nagoski's Come As You Are , which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they're organized but how you feel about them. In the years since the book's initial publication, countless women have learned through Nagoski's accessible and informative guide that things like stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman's sexual wellbeing; they are central to it--and that even if you don't always feel like it, you are already sexually whole by just being yourself. This revised and updated edition continues that mission with new information and advanced research, demystifying and decoding the science of sex so that everyone can create a better sex life and discover more pleasure than you ever thought possible.
