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

4.0

I had the same problem with this book that I have with almost all non-fiction: the amount of genuinely interesting new information might be enough to fill one or maybe two long-form magazine articles. There is some great stuff in here, but you have to wade through pages of chatty prattle to get to it. we’ll talk about that in chapter 8! Maximizing yum—with science! For realsie reals! on the plus side, that means you can skim through it and slow down when she gets to a topic that interests you, so it doesn’t take long to read. But seriously, if she has a Ted talk, or maybe she’s been on somebody’s podcast, you’d save yourself a whole bunch of time if you could just hear her explain SES vs SIS, nonconcordance, and non-judgmental acceptance of your sexuality as it is. It would probably take 15 or 20 minutes.
