Come As You Are: Revised and Updated: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life
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.

This book was recommended to me by Holly in Peru. I loved this book. I loved how in the first chapter it simply reviewed anatomy. I loved how it dispelled beliefs that we were brought up to believe regarding what is "normal" and how it "should work". I think learning about non-concordance was really important for me and I want everyone to learn about it. The one issue with the book, which the author does acknowledge, it is written mainly based on the heterosexual afab experience. Thank you so much for this recommendation Holly. It has definitely helped with my confidence.
This book is a must read if you own a vulva or if you are intimate with a person that has a vulva. The author did a great job of explaining the science of pleasure and orgasm in a way that was very accessible. If you have every asked yourself, "Why is my body like this?", do yourself a favor and read this book.
