About this listen
A revised and updated edition of Emily Nagoski’s game-changing New York Times best seller 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 well-being; 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Life Changing
Honestly. This should be required reading for everyone over the age of sixteen. I have only just finished listening to this book and am going now to buy a hard copy for myself and another for my best friend, who really needs to hear so many of the kind words in here.

everyone should read this
The kindest, most empowering book, based on science and facts, but presented with just the right mix of empathy, thoughtfulness and rage. I feel so much better being myself. I read it twice and recommended it to all my friends.

Upbeat, informative and very positive
Very upbeat performance with lots of energy. The book is very positive, too positive for me personally. I prefer a bit more light and shade.
The early informational chapters were very interesting, and drawing similarities between female and male genitalia helped keep me engaged as a male reader.
The anecdotal tales of couples therapy shared the perspectives from both partners which captured a full spectrum of feelings which helped me empathise in each of the stories.
The chapter on "Health at Every Size" was hard for me to listen to as the author pushed for weight and fat not mattering, and the goal should be treating your body with respect and love. At some points the author took the physics definition of "weight" to belittle it, but then went on to say "weight is a measure of gravity and nothing else", and then continued to use "weight" in its social context of meaning body mass. I found it a bit wishy-washy and forced, and I think the message could be articulated better, perhaps: treat yourself and body with respect, and your weight will not be an issue.
I think the book is still definitely targeted towards women, and so if you're a man you might have to keep with it, but overall it is educational and entertaining.
