Understanding desire, stress, and sexual well-being

Emily Nagoski’s revised guide presents women’s sexuality through research on desire, mindfulness, and pleasure. It places factors such as stress, mood, trust, and body image within the discussion of sexual well-being, connecting them to how people experience their bodies and sexuality. The updated edition adds newer research and information, giving the book a focus on both scientific explanations and personal context. Its central subject is how feelings and circumstances can shape sexual experience, rather than treating sexuality as a matter of anatomy alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking information about desire, pleasure, and mindfulness
  • Those interested in how stress, trust, mood, and body image relate to sexual well-being

Book overview

A revised and updated edition of Emily Nagoski's game-changing New York Times bestseller Come As You Are, featuring new information and research on mindfulness, desire, and pleasure that will radically transform your sex life.

For much of the 20th and 21st centuries, women's sexuality was an uncharted territory in science, studied far less frequently--and far less seriously--than its male counterpart.

That is, until Emily Nagoski's Come As You Are, which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they're organized but how you feel about them. In the years since the book's initial publication, countless women have learned through Nagoski's accessible and informative guide that things like stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman's sexual wellbeing; they are central to it--and that even if you don't always feel like it, you are already sexually whole by just being yourself. This revised and updated edition continues that mission with new information and advanced research, demystifying and decoding the science of sex so that everyone can create a better sex life and discover more pleasure than you ever thought possible.
