The must-read analysis of the key insights from "Come As You Are" by Emily Nagoski, PhD — presented by Athena. There is a science behind sex — from brain circuitry to what turns you on, and off. Understanding what’s going on in your body and brain is step one to finding greater sexual satisfaction. Based on groundbreaking research, "Come As You Are" offers new insights into female sexuality — and how women can create a fulfilling sex life for themselves. Sex and relationship expert Dr. Emily Nagoski brings science into the bedroom with her 2015 bestseller, "Come As You Are." Her aim is to explain what goes on in our brains and bodies when we experience sexual pleasure — or don’t, despite our best efforts. She believes that knowing why your body and brain respond to sex as they do enables you to make choices that will help make your sex life more pleasurable. Nagoski, who teaches women’s sexuality at Smith College, is keen to debunk myths that we’re all the same, with the same response mechanisms and desires. There is no “pink pill” to unleash desire — despite what marketers say. Instead, each woman has her own unique sexuality that is hers to discover, understand and embrace. Do that and you will open up new possibilities in your sex life and beyond, maximizing your personal potential for pleasure.
