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

I've got a couple of interesting ideas from this book, but nothing more. I agree with those who say that it feels like this book was written for stupid people who've read 5 books in their whole lives. I wish this book was more serious. It was difficult for me to get though all the exclamations and repetitions. I didn't finish the book.

Very informative and has changed my perspective. I will be making my partner read this book and I'll probably be coming back to this book at some point in the future.

I’ll definitely come back to this book! Tons of info. Maybe the best sex ed that I’ve read that is exclusively about the uterine reproductive system and how tf it works in and around sex and sexuality. It focuses most on the way that sexuality and having sex isn’t as simple as pop culture makes it out to be and that literally (literally) everyone is different. If you’re a vagina owner and have ever had a hard time with anything related to the act of sex, I’d definitely give this a read. I really liked that she narrated her own audiobook - always super helpful to get the exact tone of what someone is trying to convey!!!
Note: she discusses SA quite a bit and how it effects one’s sexuality and the perception of and ability to have sex. She also notes up top that this book is written for cis women and/or people who were raised and socialized as female, and to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. I could definitely see non-women taking something away from this book as well!
