Publisher’s Summary
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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Excellent revisions”
Dr. Nagoski’s revisions were necessary, due to some partners’ incomprehension of the difference between desire and pleasure. Thanks to Dr. Nagoski for recognizing this issue publicly and addressing it with this new edition. I am in academia myself and am aware of the fragility of some egos in this domain. Dr. Nabisco handled the communicative shortcomings in the previous book with utter professionalism and with an eye to collaborative and affirming communication, most especially toward men in heterosexual partnerships. Good communication is important in partnerships between people of any gender identity and sexual orientation!— ProfessorGuy, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “OH my WOW mind BLOWN “
Hi Emily, that feeling of gratitude that you described at the end of the book. Where you’re so thankful your heart is swollen and you want to get on your knees with tears in your eyes in front of a person. Well, that’s how I feel after finishing this book. My life is changed forever. Thank you. EVERY human on this planet needs to read this book. Here’s to sexual and emotional healing and freedom for every person on this spinning floating rock we call earth.— Michaela Phillips, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Passionate and knowledgeable – an excellent combination. “
Dr. Nagoski knows about the challenges women face, and cares deeply for their happiness. I’m a huge fan, and rather ashamed to belong to such a mysogynistic gender. Because, patriarchy. I learned a lot, and my admiration for women everywhere continues to grow. All men need to read this.— maurice reidy, Audible listener
