I wanted to rain chapters down upon people on the street, so that they’d each have a chance to read and absorb the findings presented in this book. It made me want to race out, buy a thousand copies and distribute them to everyone I knew.

But this book made me want to do more than just recommend it. I’m quick to recommend books to my friends and family. And once I was finally done reading, the next thing I wanted to do was tell everyone about this book. Each piece was a treasure, a segment of a bigger roadmap of sexuality. It took me a full month to get through this book, because after each chapter I felt as though I needed to pause and reflect. But that’s what happened with Come As You Are: The surprising new science that will transform your sex life. It’s a rare and special book that causes me to slow down and give myself a chance to really digest the content. Underlying almost all of the questions we still have about sex is the common worry: ‘Am I normal?’ This book answers with a resounding Yes! We are all different, but we are all normal – and once we learn this, we can create for ourselves better sex and more profound pleasure than we ever thought possible.I’m a voracious reader and tend to devour books rapidly.

Sex educator Dr Emily Nagoski debunks the common sexual myths that are making women (and some men!) feel inadequate between the sheets. Come as You Are reveals the true story behind female sexuality, uncovering the little-known science of what makes us tick and, more importantly, how and why. After all the books that have been written about sex, all the blogs and TV shows and radio Q&As, how can it be that we all still have so many questions? The frustrating reality is that we’ve been lied to – not deliberately, it’s no one’s fault, but still. An essential exploration of women’s sexuality that will radically transform your sex life into one filled with confidence and joy.
