NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the 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.Emily Nagoski is a national treasure-helping us all understand how to finally build true, joyful, confident sex lives.-Glennon Doyle, author of UntamedIn Come as You Are, Emily Nagoski, PhD, revolutionized the way we think about womens 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 weve 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. Nagoski assures us thats not true.So, what is true? Come Together isnt about how much we want sex, or how often were having it; its about whether we like the sex were having. Nagoski breaks down the obstacles that impede us from enjoying sex-from stress and body image to relationship difficulties and gendered beliefs about how sex should be-and presents the best ways to overcome them. Youll learn: that spontaneous desire is not the kind of desire to strive for if you want to have great sex for decades vocabulary for talking with partners about ways to get in the mood and how to not take it personally when the mood is nowhere to be found how to understand your own and your partners emotional floorplan, so that you have a blueprint for how to get to a sexy state of mindWritten 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.
