Nagoski, Emily

From the New York Times bestselling author of Come as You Are and co-author of Burnout comes an illuminating exploration of how to maintain a happy sex life in a long-term relationship.

ā€œEmily Nagoski is a national treasureā€”helping us all understand how to finally build true, joyful, confident sex lives.ā€ā€”Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed

In Come as You Are, Emily Nagoski, PhD, revolutionized the way we think about womenā€™s sexuality. Now, in Come Together, Nagoski takes on a fundamentally misunderstood subject: sex in long-term relationships.

Most of us struggle at some point to maintain a sexual connection with our partner/s or spouse. And many of us are given not-very-good advice on what to do about it. In this book, Nagoski dispels the myths weā€™ve been taught about sexā€”for instance, the belief that sexual satisfaction and desire are highest at the beginning of a relationship and that they inevitably decline the longer that relationship lasts. Nagoski assures us thatā€™s not true.

So, what is true? Come Together isnā€™t about how much we want sex, or how often weā€™re having it; itā€™s about whether we like the sex weā€™re having. Nagoski breaks down the obstacles that impede us from enjoying sexā€”from stress and body image to relationship difficulties and gendered beliefs about how sex ā€œshouldā€ beā€”and presents the best ways to overcome them. Youā€™ll learn:

ā€¢ that ā€œspontaneous desireā€ is not the kind of desire to strive for if you want to have great sex for decades
ā€¢ vocabulary for talking with partners about ways to get in ā€œthe moodā€ and how to not take it personally when ā€œthe moodā€ is nowhere to be found
ā€¢ how to understand your own and your partnerā€™s ā€œemotional floorplan,ā€ so that you have a blueprint for how to get to a sexy state of mind

Written with scientific rigor, humor, and compassion, Nagoski shows us what great sex can look like, how to create it in our own lives, and what to do when struggles arise.
