Story
Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things - and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against - and teach us how to fight back.

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.

Story
We've been thinking about sex all wrong. Mainstream media, movies, and porn have taught us that sex = penis + vagina, and everything else is just secondary. Standard penetration is how men most reliably achieve orgasm. The problem is, women don't orgasm this way. We've separated our most reliable route to orgasm - clitoral stimulation - from how we feel we should orgasm - penetration. As a result we've created a pleasure gap between women and men.

An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

Publisher's Summary
An essential exploration of why and how women's sexuality works - based on groundbreaking research and brain science - that will radically transform your sex life into one filled with confidence and joy.
Researchers have spent the last decade trying to develop a "pink pill" for women to function like Viagra does for men. So where is it? Well, for reasons this book makes crystal clear, that pill will never exist - but as a result of the research that's gone into it, scientists in the last few years have learned more about how women's sexuality works than we ever thought possible, and Come as You Are explains it all....
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

A must-read for women
I've had libido issues ever since a terrible heart break/betrayal by an ex. it's been 2 years. I've felt broken. This blessing of a book didn't make it the way it used to be, but it did something more important: it made me feel better about myself. it made me feel like I wasn't broken - and I'm not, none of us are. It gave me advice to help it improve and therefore improve my sex life. It informed me on women's anatomy, sexuality, and how it's affected by the people and messages around me. I truly think it's helped improved my Outlook on my sexuality and lack of it - and how to be OK with however it is.

Platitudes with lots of excitement
Excited on the verge of maniacal tone of narration, but very little substance in the end. The author can’t seem to make a point without promising you to reveal all the secrets “in the next chapter” over and over again. Didn’t work on me, sorry. Waste of credit.

I am surprised but I actually learn a lot
This book has something to it. Even when you think you know quite a lot about sex you'll realize you didn't. And even when you don't take much from the book the constant reassuring that "we are all normal" seems to have a positive impact in the bed. So, thank you.
What I could live without is the constant references to the future chapters. Because from the start it is a lot of: 'stay tune up for answers...' and I just hate that even though I understand that you have to know more before getting the full answer.
Anyway, I tried to ignore the "we will get to the answer in chapters 6,7&9" and focused on the message. Which is why we bought the book and which does give you a lot even if it doesn't seems like it from the start.
There is definitely more sexual education needed in the world! Thank you💛

This is a lesson in stress management, self-worth, self-identity, self-awareness, self-exploration, confidence, relationships, emotions, feelings, and so much more... oh it’s about sex too.

More interesting than I thought
Would you listen to Come as You Are again? Why?
Probably not all the way through (I bookmarked few spots thought); there were handful of very interesting concepts, which I have now absorbed.
Any additional comments?
As I started listening to this book I thought: "Oh, this is a book for women" (I'm male), but decided to continue listening, and I'm glad I did. Yes, it is primarily written for women, but there were several general concepts about human sexuality (which are also applicable to men) I was unaware of. And, being a straight guy, it was good to learn about some some central factors in female sexuality, too. :-) Arousal nonconcordance, the dual control model, the extent of the effect of the context, what Emily refers to as "the little monitors" (maybe not a scientific term?), and the criterion velocity were all partially or entirely new information to me. It's always interesting to learn how there are various systems in the human body that have been mapped out and understood to this extent. Yes, it was definitely worth a listen; I'd say this is one of those books that would make a big difference in many people's lives if everyone would read it at around the age of 20.

Who is her audience? And HAES? Really?
The first half of the book is good, and there was plenty to take away from it. As other reviewers mentioned, the language she uses to describe human anatomy is a bit off-putting. It doesn't seem geared toward adult listeners, but also comes across as too patronizing for even teenagers. I'm a 30-something man reading this to try to get a better feel for what might and might not work to improve my sex life with my wife, and what I can bring to her. To that end, there were some points that were worth bringing to the table.
Unfortunately, the author completely lost me when she went into a little tangent about Healthy At Every Size (HAES) and her belief that you can be morbidly obese and still be perfectly healthy. She even shares a conversation she supposedly had with an unnamed cardiologist over dinner and how he completely backs up her theory that there's no evidence to suggest obesity has any negative effect on cardiac function.
Not only was it completely out of place for a book about female sexuality, but in my mind it seriously damaged her credibility as a scientist. It was a ham-fisted way to push some fringe ideology. I lost interest in the book quickly thereafter. If you subscribe to that particular belief, you'll probably enjoy this book on the whole. But disregarding decades of medical research to the contrary and trying to defend it with a (likely fake) conversation with a cardiologist is just slimy to me.

EVERY woman should read/listen to this book!
... and then share it with every other woman in her life. Emily takes science & makes it make sense in an articulate, compassionate, humorous way. I plan to get a hard copy & do lots & lots of highlights & notes. As a survivor of childhood incestuous sexual abuse I can recommend this book as a great way to start dispelling the myths & erroneous self-talk inherent to that history. I wish I'd had this book 30 years ago!!!

Positive, Encouraging, Exciting
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
As a sex educator, I encounter many couples with mismatched libido and women who feel like they are "broken." This book taught me SOOO many new concepts I am eager to share! It is easy to understand, eye opening, based on science, and encouraging. ALL women should read it, and all men should, too! We need to come to a common understanding of how society skews male and female sexuality. We all have the same parts, they're just organized in different ways and women have to deal with so many challenges.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The author Emily reads the audio version and lends such a positive, upbeat attitude to the learning process. You can visualize the smile on her face as she shares insight. Very comforting and pleasant.
What does Emily Nagoski bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I ended up buying a paperback version so I could mark it up - there were so many key points I wanted to remember. I kept rewinding and listening again. Invaluable info.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
If someone listens carefully to this book, it can change their life. It can help them accept who they are, which is key to being comfortable with your sexuality.
Any additional comments?
This book can change lives for the better. So sympathetic, helpful, comprehensive, positive. I'm so impressed with the information shared.

Fantastic if a little repetitive
I just want to start by saying that it is ABSOLUTELY essential listening/reading for any person (woman, men and every other gender in between) and provides fantastic insight into improving how I feel about my own sexuality. I learned the importance of patience, mindfulness, and paying attention to my sexual brakes and accelerators.
The one thing that prevents me from giving this a full 5 stars is that a lot of the information can get redundant, I feel like I might have heard "You are normal and beautiful" at least a million times. In a certain sense I get why Emily Nagowski wanted to really stress this for all the women reading the book (since not all women are clear on that) but after a while it somewhat felt like filler. I also wasn't a fan of some of the terms she used to simplify certain concepts like "feeling feels" or "tl;dr". Personally I felt like it "dumbed down" some concepts which were perfectly understandable and interesting, without the need for some already outdated internet slang.
Although I definitely consider that as more of a nit-pick in my own personal experience than a deal breaker for most readers.

loved it, and I'm a dude
Although I could do without the subtle "evil men" undermining (not all men suppress women), I do empathize with the mindset. but overall, I loved the myth busting, highly positive and optimistic attitude, and the narrator's voice was a delight.
highly recommend to everyone curious to know more about women and what might be going on in their head.

Please stop what you are doing and read this book.
Every one should read this book. I know it is geared towards women, but really anyone who has a vulva or is interested in spending time with one should read it.

very educational!
As a man who has always been fascinated by the fairer sex, I absolutely loved this audio book. It's a treasure trove of information that I had never heard before, and how it's explained is easy to understand. The performance was very well done as well. 10/10 and I might just have to buy the hard copy as well

Amazing and life changing!
This book is a gem, filled with information that all women and girls should be taught about themselves from the get go. Until we reach that new education (r)evolution, this book is it! Amazing, healing and life changing!

using pseudo science
using pseudo science to legitimate her point of view. But that's my point of view.
