Come As You Are Summary: The Science of Female Sexual Desire by Emily Nagoski
Introduction
For decades, women have been told their sexuality should look a certain way—spontaneous, effortless, and always ready. When reality doesn't match this idealized picture, many feel broken or ashamed. But what if the problem isn't you? What if it's the model?
Dr. Emily Nagoski, a sex educator and researcher, dismantles myths about female sexuality with cutting-edge science and compassion. She reveals that sexual wellbeing comes from understanding your unique body and mind, not conforming to external standards. Whether struggling with low libido or simply wanting to understand female arousal better, this book offers evidence-based insights that can change everything.
