I’m not being dramatic when I say that this book has changed my life. The research is presented in a way that is easy to understand, and there are plenty of metaphors to help further visualize the concepts in each chapter.
This book showed me that I’m not broken, I’m completely normal. I’ll forever be grateful to this book and Emily Nagoski for that.

This book is literally the holy grail of sex ed that I never really had growing up, and it was truly life changing. It taught a very thorough understanding of the body, the mind, emotions, trauma, joy, and so much more. Not only does this book go into sexuality, but it also taught me how to understand my emotions and relationships with others in everyday life. This book taught me things that I didn't think I would ever understand unless I tried something like therapy or some other method that would require unpacking so many levels of feelings and emotions, and yet my understanding of so many things surrounding human bodies and sexuality have changed as a result of this book. EVERYONE needs to read this to help unpack some of the stigma and debunk the messages were were taught (or not taught) growing up. I would give this book 100 stars if I could.

Missing diversity even cultural practices by different ethnicities, Needed to have more scientific explanations and more examples of how to experience more pleasure and a run through of different kind of sensory exercises to enhance sexual pleasure. Needs to go more in-depth with negative sexual experiences things that can result from them and how to overcome them.
Overall a good beginner book to start self acceptance and loving your body and enjoying positive sexual experiences.

felt like a good balance between informative and informal, like even tho im not a sciencey person i was able to understand the science the author was talking about
thought the personas were helpful in illustrating the points she was trying to make
also liked that it was read by the author bc you can tell shes passionate about the subject and her tone made it more lively

This is not an exaggeration: every woman - no, person - should read this book. It will change your life.
It has certainly been a slow and challenging read, but I have learnt so much about my body, brain, expectations, desires, stressors and methods of looking at it all in a new, non-judgemental, compassionate way. Some of my biggest takeaways are the 'sexual brakes and accelorators,' statistics of the ways women typically experience their sexualities compared to men, and the ways that stress, contexts and learned mindfulness can impact your sexual desire (as well as your self-image and general life).
Though certainly aimed at cisgender women (from biological, scientific, social and cultural views), most of the points made in this book would be beneficial to everyone. I love the way it all comes from a place of 'no matter what your experience is, you are normal. You can find happiness and satisfaction. You are not alone. You are beautiful.
