Publisher's 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.

Everyone should read this.

This book is exactly what I needed. If you’re questioning whether or not to read it, just do it! I promise you it’s worth it.

Not a fan of music in my books.

A lot of annoying music and unfortunately a lot of repeated information. Although the message was good, it probably could have been more succinct.

Outstanding book for all humans!

let me start by saying I am a cis male, so not the target audience per se. however, I found the insights in this book PROFOUNDLY impactful! The author has an easy way of speaking that is both approachable and competent, and she goes through numerous examples, exercises, and practical concepts that anyone can implement. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has ever wondered if their ideas regarding sex and sexuality may be wrong/incomplete (they probably are), anyone who has ever felt they may be "wrong" or "broken" in some way (they are not), or anyone who just wants to learn about and embrace sex and sexuality as part of who they are. Short as it is, this is a thorough (and thoroughly engaging) book that should be read by EVERYONE!

The Sex Ed Class Everyone Needs

Whether you love sex or hate it, have it or don't, there is something here for everyone. Presented in the comprehensive and relatable way that I've come to expect from Dr. Nagoski, it is full of critical information that I wish I'd learned decades ago. THIS is the Sex Ed class we all need.

You are ok, you are normal. Dispels the myths and lies of female sexuality.

Terrific exposure of myths and lies attributed to female sexuality, with good scientific and empirical evidence, but in a human way. Plenty to think about and helps me understand the woman in my life better. Now I hope she will listen too and we can go through the learning together. Could do without the soundtrack. Music sounded way too
Much like the musical response to sermons or readings in church. By the end of the book it was aggravating and distracting. She’s a good reader, and the narration was good, but music distracting. Although written predominantly for women, as a man, I found more than enough material to be worth the time invested.

Honest thoughtful liberation

Really enjoyed the content though the tone is American positive which jars a little from time to time. The conversational style is overall net positive but can grate. The work transports you from broken ideology to self acceptance in a liberating way. Not exactly the manual for methods more like the manifesto of a feminist self love.

oh so clear, so educational, so fun, so good!!!

this book should simply be mandatory in school! seriously! her work is so important for all!

Love! Everyone should read this before having sex for the first time!

Love this! Telling everyone I know to read it! I never write reviews but this is a great start to finally finding my own pleasure!

Great Eye opener

i was. told by a friend to read this book, although i didnt agree with all if it this was a great read and a big stepping stone in discovering more about the woman i am and loving myself unconditionally.

AMAZING

I had no idea I needed this book. To know my body (I AM) is normal is so liberating. Everyone should read this. :)
