    About this audiobook

    A revised and updated edition of Emily Nagoski’s game-changing New York Times bestseller 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 wellbeing; 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.

      Compulsary reading for everyone who likes sex, wants sex and has all the questions. Sex ED fails to tell us true stories about our bodies, desires and partners. This book makes up for a lot.

      I thought I was fairly aware about society´s fucked up cultural messages, but this book really opened my eyes to deeper levels of conditioning.

      Great audiobook as well!

      Every woman needs to read or listen to this book! We are all normal and we shouldn’t be made to feel like we aren’t. One of my favorite lines in the book is to “stop comparing your experiences with your expectations.” In a world of social media likes and the art of comparing yourself to everyone else this book will help you get out of your own head and self doubt. And bonus might help you have better orgasms ?

      Beautifully informative. If you have ever felt abnormal in societies view of non male folks in terms of sexuality, listen to this.

      If you’re happy with your sex life but wonder if you could be better informed about the psychology behind it and how to make it even better, listen to this.

      stop whatever it is that you’re doing and read this book. It is not only insightful and entertaining but reassuring. I am not a woman but I have important women in my lives and this book is for everyone. However, if you know anyone that is struggling with her sexuality and the context of their expectations of what it all to be or just to understand better how it is that we sexually function please buy this book.

      While there were a few informative moments, this was entirely too long. If it had been edited down to only saying something once instead of 2, 3, or 10 times, the book could have been cut in half. If it weren't so repetitive, I would have enjoyed it more. By the hallways mark, I couldn't wait for it to be over.

      Omg !!! So so amazing. Beautifully written, easy to understand, good science referencing. I’ve read a lot of self help/psychology books and even this helped me fill in gaps.

      Thank you for this book. I have learned a lot about myself, which is helping me to improve my intimate life. I have also learned a lot of important information about sex and desire that help me in my psychological practice.

      Beautiful. Honest. Compassionate. Challenging. Motivating. Inspiring & just all out fun. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
    • 5/5
      This is a phenomenal book and I HIGHLY recommend it to all open -minded, open-hearted people who are ready to learn about the science behind women’s sexuality. Dr. Emily Nagoski has a clever, witty sense of humer, and she infuses jokes, metaphors, and relatable language as if you were having a safe, comfortable conversation with a close friend. This is my second time reading this book, and each time I reread it, I learn more and more. Truly wonderful.

      Great book, great narration too. Strongly recommended for EVERYONE (not only people with a vagina). Amazing and scientific description of all the things we were taught about sexuality that are now proven wrong.
    • 5/5
      Wise and generous book.

      I would rather not write anything else in this review but this shitty program demands more verbiage.
    • 5/5
      Although intended for women - as a man I found it quite insightful in understanding my own sexuality and also it gave me great insight into what my partner experiences. We both read it and it was a great tool for discussing our wants and needs. Highly recommended

      Every single person needs to read this book right now! This was one of the most informative, and entertaining, books I’ve ever read. I’m glad I listened to the audiobook as Emily’s personality really shines through. I cannot believe as a 36 yo woman that I had no idea about soooo many things when it comes to sex and my pleasure. I feel like I’ve only just discovered the truth about sex, pleasure, sexual response, my sexual appetite and soooo many other things. I literally feel free from the heavy burden of societal sexual expectation that is placed upon women from birth
