Come Together

The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections 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. In her first book, Emily Nagoski, PhD, revolutionized the way we think about women's sexuality. Now, she takes on a fundamentally misunderstood subject: sex in long-term relationships. Nagoski dispels the myths we've been taught about sex - 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. This book isn't about how much we want sex, or how often we're having it; it's about whether we like the sex we're having. Break down the obstacles that impede you from enjoying sex - from stress and body image to relationship difficulties and gendered beliefs about how sex "should" be; learn the best ways to overcome them. 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.
