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

challenging informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

I grew up with some seriously harmful messaging around sex and sexuality, and I picked up this book in the hopes of improving intimacy with my husband. While that might be a byproduct, what I ultimately realized is I needed to improve my relationship with myself. This book is dense with science, which was occasionally overwhelming, filled with practical tips and real stories, and so incredibly empowering. I've already started reading the second book, and plan to go back through it more slowly with my husband. It took me nearly a year, 312 days to be exact to finish this book, and I think that was just right. I needed time to let the truths sink in and put some of the activities into practice. I think anyone who has a vulva or is intimate with people with vulvas should read this book.
