Just an all around great book filled with science and humor. Dr. Nagoski is back at it again with liberating truths and myth busting around all things sex

Ja das isch s jetzt ned so gsii für mich.. Meh en mischig us politischem Standpunkt und persönlicher Wältaschauig als es scholarly Buech über Sex oder Connection. I get the inclusive, aber so vill isch den miner Meinig na au eifach persönlichi Iistellug gsii, aber phrased als allgemein gültig.. Zum Teil ischs mer au chli z Individualistisch 21. JH nome du du du gsii.

Han sau lang gha zum das Ding fertig läse wels mi doch öppe au wieder gnervt (und grundsätzlich eifach nie so packt het (was voll schad isch weli ihres erste Buech mega guet gfunde ha..))

Es paar Sache sind aber au sehr beriichernd gsii:

S. 142: „The great thing about long-term relationships, in which you’ve decided to stay together till death do you part and stuff, is that you have time for the situation to change gradually.“

S. 158: „They’re false beliefs that might make sexual difficulties feel urgent and high-stakes, as if you have so much to lose if you don’t “fix” your sex life.“

S. 169: „As neuroendocrinologist Robert Sapolsky puts it, "You can't reason someone out of something they were never reasoned into."“

S. 176: „To stop the impact of the sex imperatives, try playing new games by different rules that ask you to share pleasure and touch in ways that have nothing to do with any urgent need to be or do sex differently.“

S. 292: „The most efficient way to turn that normal, inevitable season [wo Sex ned Priorität het/ned lauft/kei Chopf defür hesch etc.] into a problem is to worry about it. The sex imperatives and the gender mirage want you to worry, want you to believe that something bad could happen if you jettison their rules and wholeheartedly embrace who you truly are, as you are right now.“

S. 234: „ The “sex imperatives” want you to feel an urgent impulse to change your individual sexuality and your sexual connection, to make it more like what it “should” be. Don’t fall for it. No sexual difficulty is worth damaging a great relationship.“

Min main take-away vo dem Buech isch: Sex isch keis life-death matter. Alles isch guet, au wenns mol ned klappet. Luges also Hobby und ned also überläbensnotwändigs Ding aa. Niemert stirbt und dini Beziehig gheit deswäge au ned usenand.

Valuable information, but a lot of it is not for me right now. I can see this being more helpful in different parts of my life, but only found a few applicable things to this moment, although I think there’s a lot here for a lot of people.
