ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., explores female sexuality through a scientific lens, challenging cultural myths and empowering women to embrace their unique experiences. The book delves into the complex interplay of anatomy, brain function, emotions, and social influences on sexual well-being. It introduces the dual control model, highlighting the "accelerator" and "brake" systems that govern arousal. Nagoski emphasizes the normalcy of arousal nonconcordance and responsive desire, advocating for pleasure-focused sex and positive meta-emotions. Ultimately, it guides readers towards self-acceptance and ecstatic potential, highlighting that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to female sexuality.
