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

4.5

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

Anyone who has, wants to have, or used to have sex should read this book. While it presents itself and centers around female pleasure, the framework presented is useful to everyone. Nagoski both shifted how I think about many sexual-related topics while also deepening my understanding of concepts that seem intuitive (I.e. you might logically know that a negative body image is not good, but how exactly does that impact you sexually). My main critique would be that because Nagoski uses the same four women (which are amalgamations of real clients) as real-world anecdotes, they were hard to keep track of for me. It would often be a chapter or two before we saw one again and would continue their journey, and I would forget what their specific journey was.
