Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski

challenging funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.0

Going in I anticipated a lot of out this book. I was hoping it would dive deeper into sexual anxieties & provide resources for sexual trauma, etc., but that’s not what this is. It’s setting the bar straight for sexual conversation and understanding, which is important. Emily Nagoski provides so much sex science in a very digestible way, although I personally could have done without so many analogies, it’s a first step for many on their understanding their sexuality. Once I realized that I’m not the intended audience for this book // got past what I expected this book to be, I really appreciated it for what it is. 

Really well written, really well organized, very easy to follow. Highly recommend for those of you who just don’t know where to start- sex is scary to talk about, but not with Emily Nagoski. :)
