About the book
Scientific answers to all questions about the female body and how to realize your own sexual potential.
This book is a study of how female sexuality works, based on scientific research and neurobiology. It has the power to change your sex life for the better.
For the past decade, scientists have been trying to invent a remedy to increase libido in women. So where is this “pink pill”? This book explains why such a pill is impossible. But it does explain the discoveries about female sexuality that have been made during the search for the magic pill.
The first lesson from Emily Nagoski is that every woman has her own sexuality, unique as a fingerprint, and women are much more different than men. So never try to judge yourself by someone else’s experience. Women are different – and that’s okay.
The second lesson is that sex is always about the external context. Everything that happens in a woman’s everyday life affects her arousal, passion and orgasm. And when you understand how your sexual response mechanism works, you will take control of both the external environment and your own brain to maximize your sexual potential even in an imperfect world.
Research from various fields of science proves that the key to a fulfilling sex life is not what or how a woman does in bed, but how she feels about it. This means that stress, mood and trust play a crucial role – and once you realize this, you can influence these factors and realize your sexual potential.
No matter what stage of your sexual journey you’re at, whether you’re completely satisfied and only want things to get better from here, or you’re suffering and looking for answers, after reading this book you can definitely improve your sex life. You’ll find that you are whole and healthy in terms of your sexual relationships – even if you’re not quite sure yet.
From the author
Being a sex education expert means answering questions without end. Students, friends, friends of friends, and strangers to me send in questions about sexual desire, arousal, pleasure, and pain associated with sexual relationships, orgasms, fetishes, fantasies, secretions, and a host of other things without end.
Here are some examples of such questions:
When my partner takes the initiative, I willingly play along. But I never seem to offer sex myself. Why not?
I’ve seen shows about women who don’t enjoy sex because they’re always unhappy with their bodies. That’s what I’m talking about. How do I get out of this habit?
I read somewhere that sometimes women in long-term relationships stop being interested in sex even if they still love their partner. That’s definitely my case. What can I do to make me want to have sex with my partner again?
I don’t think I’ve ever had an orgasm…
Behind each of these questions is one and the most important: “Am I even normal?” (And almost always the answer is the same – yes).
In this book I have compiled answers to a wide variety of questions. I have seen radical changes in those who have received answers based both on the most recent scientific data and on the examples of women who have dealt with the sexual side of their lives and changed their relationship with their own bodies. These women are the heroines of my book. By telling their stories, I hope very much to give you enough strength to go your own way and realize your sexual potential.
