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

emotional funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book should be required reading for all vulva owners and their partners. It redefines sex and confronts the societal pressures and falsehoods that are heaped upon us every day. Not only does it discuss the acts of sex itself, but it dives deep into the psychology of self-criticism, trauma, and doubt. 

The takeaway from this book is simple: You are normal.

If you've ever felt broken, unworthy, or unloveable, I strongly urge you to pick up this book. It is both funny and powerful.
