Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

What does it really take to create lasting sexual connections in long-term relationships?

Most couples struggle at some point to maintain their sexual connection. But a lot of the advice we are given on sex is either not very good or steeped in cultural assumptions and expectations that can end up hurting us.

In Come Together, leading sexual wellness educator, Dr Emily Nagoski, takes on one of the most misunderstood subjects of all time - good sex - and shows us that most of what we've been taught about enjoying sex is wrong.

Featuring inclusive stories and examples from a wide range of couples and individuals, you'll find out what great sex really looks like and the best way to overcome obstacles - including relationship conflicts, gendered beliefs about how sex 'should be' and body image worries.

With insight, humour and empathy, Come Together will radically transform the way you approach sex and desire, and empower you to create long-term, fulfilling sexual connections.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Practical approach to repair common misunderstandings in relationships

I love the way she explains and guides readers through difficult and sometimes emotionally sensitive situations.

A lot to take in

A much needed exploration to a husky important topic. My eyes were opened and I need to start my journey from old self framing towards enjoying pleasure.

The first few chapters offered plenty to hear and think about. Then the grip loosened a lot in the middle and I started to have long breaks in between the listening sessions. But then chapters 10-11 were meaningful and kept me engaged. Perhaps the lull in the middle was just topics that didn't open to me in full.

The author reads the book themselves. The voice is lively, though sometimes feels over extended. It's like they'd added some extra drama with the hopes it keeps us with them. It certainly has more than you'd have when chatting with a friend when catching up.

I'd recommend the book for anyone who's on an intimate relationship. It things are great, you probably get wonderful validation on how you approach your partner. If you have questions or concerns, you'll get some great ideas for exploring. Best of all, the cultural shame of what's good or not is left at the door with this book. Fantastic!

Some good tips, too repetitive

I liked the central principle around focusing on pleasure rather than desire. However, I feel the book becomes repetitive after the first chapters with nothing else to add.
