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.

I wish someone gave me this book 15 years ago!! With all the crazy out there, this book is really fantastic, a must read/listen for all women and men. First two chapters were quite "mmm" but then it gets better and better.

An absolute gem, thank you!!

Brilliantly written and read, this book emphasizes that understanding of our sexual self leads to acceptance, appreciation and joy in and out of bed.
I am a man, who read this to understand more about my female partner's sexuality, and learned so much more! Recommended for anyone who wants to understand, or who needs to accept and love themselves as they are today. Thank you, Emily for sharing your incredible work!

Recommended for people of all gender identities.

Every woman should read/listen to this. It debunks myths I’ve been taught by whole life about my body and sex. I now understand myself and my sexual health so much better. So much of the book resonated with my past and present self. It can get nerdy, but I love that. The author does a great job narrating. She really brings it to life like you’re sitting in her lecture hall. Highly recommend!

Great book for every woman!
