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.

Mehhhh

3 stars

This was a read that was recommended by my therapist. There was some helpful thoughts in here, but a lot of it was just repeated throughout the book. I feel like this could have been cut down into a much easier read.

There are tl;dr sections at the end of each chapter so you could scan through and see if anything discussed in that is something you feel you should read.

Idk. I could see it being more helpful for other people. But her writing style and way of detailing things just wasn't for me.
