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
year 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 other’s 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.
