Come As You Are: Revised and Updated

The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life

De: Emily Nagoski PhD

Narrado por: Emily Nagoski, Nicholas Boulton

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.

Love it and a must read for all women (& men)

My doctor recommend this book. But I ended up reading “vagina” by Naomi wolf before then this. The two books changed my life. The science in this book is amazing. It’s very validating and educational. It is extremely empowering to anyone to experience this much information and learn about her body and her needs/ likes/ wants and not feel bad or shame or guilt about them. It is healing in many ways and truly allowed me to un-judge myself especially as I go through my healing and inner self work.

YES

Yes.
that is all
alas it wont let me just say yes
so yes
yes

Definitely hear it out

Loved it, it really was a whole new perspective on sex and sexual health, but I really could do without the piano. The piano was a major cringe factor for me.

Life changing

I'll have to read it again to squeeze as much out of it as possible, as there is so much I want to remember and use and share. So humbly and yet profoundly explained science using metaphors, anecdotes and scientific experiments. Would suggest this read to every person.

helpful in understanding my sexuality

This book had some helpful points about women's sexuality, but some of the metaphors didn't really make sense to me, and sometimes it just seemed like rambling. Worth a read or listen, though, to understand why you may be "hitting the brakes" or why you don't fit into the box that society has created for you and your sexuality.

Excellent

Great info. Well written and VERY, perfectly, educational. Every school should go through this book every year from high school through college.

wish I had read this years ago

this book is about so much more than sex. following her suggestions will lead to some mind-blowing sex for sure, but also will lead to a more joyful life.

Helpful and encouraging

There is no doubt Emily Nagoski is passionate about educating women (and men) about what is “normal” in women’s sexuality preferences and desires. She does a great job explaining anatomy and helping the reader to understand and explore their own gas pedals and brake pedals that affect their sexual interest.
My husband and I both read this book (listened) and had great conversations afterward that I know will strengthen our relationship.

I am normal is amazing to learn and believe

So many new tools are in my tool box. Thank you Dr Emily. Thank you for this book and the Principles of Pleasure on Netflix. Thank you thank you thank you.

Little known facts

This book lays out a lot of truth about not only sexual interaction between males and females but the real lessons are far more pervasive. She describes the impact of a wide range of factors that influence sexual experiences but sexual experiences are really the stalking horse for life in general. I listened to the book 3 times and got more meaning each time. For a book targeted at women it helped this male understand my partner’s point of view better than I ever did before.
