An essential exploration of why and how women’s sexuality
works—based on groundbreaking research and brain
science—that will radically transform your sex life into
one
filled with confidence and joy. Researchers have spent the last decade trying to develop
a
“pink pill” for women to function like Viagra does for
men.
So where is it? Well, for reasons this book makes crystal
clear, that pill will never exist—but as a result of the
research that’s gone into it, scientists in the last few
years have learned more about how women’s sexuality works
than we ever thought possible, and Come as You Are
explains
it all. The first lesson in this essential, transformative book
by
Dr. Emily Nagoski is that every woman has her own unique
sexuality, like a fingerprint, and that women vary more
than
men in our anatomy, our sexual response mechanisms, and
the
way our bodies respond to the sexual world. So we never
need
to judge ourselves based on others’ experiences. Because
women vary, and that’s normal. Second lesson: sex happens in a context. And all the
complications of everyday life influence the context
surrounding a woman’s arousal, desire, and orgasm. Cutting-edge research across multiple disciplines tells
us
that the most important factor for women in creating and
sustaining a fulfilling sex life, is not what you do in
bed
or how you do it, but how you feel about it. Which means
that stress, mood, trust, and body image are not
peripheral
factors in a woman’s sexual wellbeing; they are central
to
it. Once you understand these factors, and how to
influence
them, you can create for yourself better sex and more
profound pleasure than you ever thought possible. And Emily Nagoski can prove it.
