"Virtually everything we're taught about sexuality for the first two decades of our lives is wrong."
Most of us were taught a version of sex education that veered into fiction rather than fact – stories that were rooted in shame, stereotypes, and outdated science.
If you’ve ever wondered why your experience of sex doesn’t match what you were told it “should” be, Emily Nagoski wants to help you unlearn widespread misinformation, and have better sex.
Nagoski shares the truth about spontaneous vs. Responsive desire, explains the real function of pleasure in the brain, and shows how unlearning toxic sexual scripts can transform not just relationships, but self-worth.
