Summary

A revised and updated edition of Emily Nagoski’s game-changing New York Times best seller 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 well-being; 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Eye opening and thought-provoking to listen to front a male perspective. Really good listening for everyone.

Life Changing

Honestly. This should be required reading for everyone over the age of sixteen. I have only just finished listening to this book and am going now to buy a hard copy for myself and another for my best friend, who really needs to hear so many of the kind words in here.

A must read for both men and women

Very well written and easy to digest. As a guy I definitely took a lot of information out of this book and I will be recommending it to my girlfriend.

I'm usually skeptical about the author narrating their own book, but Emily did an amazing job, better than many professional narrators I listened to over the years.

The only issue with the content I had was normalising being overweight. I strongly suggest rewriting that part and follow science only, as being overweight is not healthy or good. Saying that being any size is healthy and normal undermines the credibility of the rest of the book. Especially that the chapter on non-concordance was next and that's something I never knew about before reading this book (I did get convinced in the end!).

Overall I really enjoyed it, thank you for being such a good educator.

Life changing book!!

I’ll never be the same again, this illuminated so much for me- made me look at so many destructive assumptions that have bubbled away in my head without examination!
What a liberation!!!

For the woman who has the questions, this gives the answers!

Very informative, taught me a lot and confirmed some things that have crossed my mind but never had the answers to. Felt like it was putting the pieces pieces together for things I’ve thought, but couldn’t quite reach the answers to. Also learn’t many new things.
