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

5.0

If you’re a vagina-having person, or even if you’re not to be honest, you need to read this book.

Don’t be put off by the fact that this is a sex book- it’s about so much more than that. Insecurity, shame, stigma, stereotyping and stress- it’s all covered here, with the express purpose of helping you to find a way through all of it to a life filled with beautiful sexual pleasure.

If you’ve ever worried that your sexual organs aren’t normal, that your level of desire isn’t in line with what the media tells you it should be, or if you’ll ever have an orgasm, then this book is here to soothe all of your worries and assure you that whatever you’ve got going on, you’re not alone, and you’re not a freak.

I can’t speak highly enough of this book- it should 100% be required reading for all young women, and young men too if we want to finally raise a generation of men who understand women’s desire.

Definitely definitely definitely pick this up, and I highly recommend the audiobook- it’s read by Nagoski and her performance is fantastic, so alive and engaging.

5 stars from me for sure, and I’m definitely going to check out more from this author!
