Fangirling over here!

Emily Nagoski, PhD is AH-mazing.

Not only is she an incredible researcher, teacher, & author, but she now has a LOVELY, educational, affirming, encouraging, accurate, & insightful podcast with the same name as her first book, Come As You Are! I have listened to all of released episodes & then gone back to listen again while taking notes because she is incredible at teaching ALL of us the science of sex in an accessible way and supportive attitude. She answers readers’ specific questions in a relatable manner that can help you even if you have never experienced anything close to what she’s talking about. Plus she breaks down the masturbation scene in Ted Lasso! Amazing. Highly recommend.

Stay tuned for her book on long-term relationships, where she will talk about her research on couples in relationships that have “lasted long enough for things to change” as she says. Predictors on a great sex life include 1) that partners are friends who trust and admire each other, 2) the couple prioritizes sex & it matters to them to keep up a sexual life, & 3) that they have sex worth wanting, as in it does good things for their relationship.
