Product Description
Your sex life has a brake pedal and an accelerator, and this workbook hands you a pen to figure out which one is doing the driving.
The Come As You Are Workbook: A Practical Guide to the Science of Sex is the hands-on companion to Emily Nagoski's New York Times bestseller Come As You Are. The original book showed that stress, mood, trust, and body image sit at the center of sexual wellbeing. The workbook takes that research off the page and into your actual life with worksheets, journaling prompts, illustrations, and diagrams you fill in yourself.
Twentieth-century thinking treated women's sexuality as "Men's Sexuality Lite," basically the same but not quite as good. Nagoski's science says otherwise: how you feel about your body matters more than how the parts are arranged, and you are already sexually whole. The workbook gives you exercises to test that idea against your own desire, arousal, and pleasure. Nagoski writes primarily about women's sexuality, and the prompts on stress, body image, and desire land for anyone who wants to understand their own body and sex life.
Grab it for a solo journaling sesh on a slow Sunday, or bring it into a conversation with a partner who wants to know what turns you on and what shuts you down. It works as a sex-positive book club pick for your group chat, and at $18.99 it makes a solid gift under $20 for the friend who keeps quoting the original book at brunch.
Read the book. Then do the homework. This is the fun kind.
