Come As You Are: Revised and Updated

The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life

By: Emily Nagoski Ph.D. Ph.D., Nicholas Boulton

Narrated by: Emily Nagoski Ph.D. Ph.D.

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.

An absolute gem, thank you!!

I wish someone gave me this book 15 years ago!! With all the crazy out there, this book is really fantastic, a must read/listen for all women and men. First two chapters were quite "mmm" but then it gets better and better.

Recommended for people of all gender identities.

Brilliantly written and read, this book emphasizes that understanding of our sexual self leads to acceptance, appreciation and joy in and out of bed.
I am a man, who read this to understand more about my female partner's sexuality, and learned so much more! Recommended for anyone who wants to understand, or who needs to accept and love themselves as they are today. Thank you, Emily for sharing your incredible work!

Reaffirming

Inspiring confirmation on womanhood, backed by science and experience. Opening the door to understanding and acceptance.

Excellent!

Not only is the delivery delightful to listen to, I felt as though I attended a class with the results of busted myths, updated understanding, and an improved sexual experience. Highly recommended.

So much more than sex

This book is so comprehensive and well designed that I immediately recommended it to multiple friends from many different backgrounds. The title is about sex, but as you go through the book it is about so much more. It's the most useful self help book I have ever read.

Excellent!

A must read. For all of us, especially women, or those who love women...or are raising women. Please. Read it.

Excellent read (listen)!

Very helpful for men or women. Very insightful. I would encourage anyone to give this book a listen.

eye opening

I have the physical book, but listening to the audio book was extremely uplifting and encouraging. I was reading in a very "scientific" voice, making the content feel less approachable. Highly recommend, either version!
I learned so much, feel more confident in myself, and feel more affirmed in some past experiences. I still have a lot of work ahead, but this book is a wonderful guide to help me continue to heal and grow from past experiences.

It challenges our mindset.

It just change the view toward women sexuality, removes judgment and show deeper misconceptions around sex in general.

Great book for every woman!

Every woman should read/listen to this. It debunks myths I’ve been taught by whole life about my body and sex. I now understand myself and my sexual health so much better. So much of the book resonated with my past and present self. It can get nerdy, but I love that. The author does a great job narrating. She really brings it to life like you’re sitting in her lecture hall. Highly recommend!
