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.

Such a beautiful, healing book by a wonderful educator! Totally enjoyed this and will recommend it to lots of friends!
I have a hard time focusing on books but I’m forcing myself to read this book because it’s so important. There are so many misconceptions out there and here is a doctor who will explain why YOU ARE NOT SICK if your body isn’t doing what you expect it to do. It’s so full of information I get overwhelmed but girls it is so important for us to understand our bodies!!!!!! Here we now have a text that is being used in medical schools and when I had put it down at one point …my gyn recommended it to me so I picked it back up and I’m so glad! ***It sucks to feel broken, to think your hormones are off, that you’re aging etc. Girls, don’t need drugs; you need this book. Ps the libido drugs don’t work anyway…clinical trials say so.
This book is truly life changing. On top of that, it’s very well written in a kind, funny, approachable style. Highly recommended!
This book is amazing!! Seriously a game changer for women!! Would recommend to anyone who is seeking more about women’s sexuality and how to find answers! It very much normalizes women!
I learned a lot from this book, but I really struggled to keep reading it. It was too long and in my opinion repetitive, making it a little boring. If it could be condensed into about half as many pages, it would get 5 stars from me. I would still recommend it to anyone struggling with sex, self identity, relationship guilt, or just curiosity. It truly is full of great information, it's juuuust...too thorough for me, I guess.
Skillful, simple explanations of complex scientific information that will make you more self aware and more comfortable in your body and in your relationships.
A very insightful - and even revolutionary at times - read! Women and men should read this.
I have learned so much while reading this book! It’s been so helpful in understanding myself and sexuality in generally and really drives home that the stuff we’re taught to be ashamed of is normal. Science that is written in a totally accessible way broken up with examples, stories from other women and funny moments. This is a great book for people of any gender!
