Book Review: Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life

Come as you are

Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski

 

“YES YOU ARE NORMAL”–Introduction, Come As You Are

 

Phew.  That is the most reassuring phrase a book about female sexuality and sexual identity can begin with.  “Come As You Are” by Emily Nagoski paints a thoughtful, informative and REAL picture of what it is like to be a woman as a sexual being in today’s society.

 

Sexuality and sexual identity are an important and often not-talked-about part of being human.  At Sassy Healthy Fit we want to break down the barriers we have put up for ourselves around these topics because we want to help you feel confident, free and SASSY!  We want you to feel comfortable embracing the sexual side of yourself and feel knowledgeable about what sex is, what it is not and how intimacy affects your relationship with yourself and with your partner (or partners!).

 

“Come as You Are” is a masterpiece for so many reasons.  Emily Nagoski is a sex educator, author and speaker.  She has her M.S. in Counseling Psychology and her Ph.D. in Health Behavior.  She has taught graduate and undergraduate classes in human sexuality, relationships and communication, stress management and sex education.  She is now a full-time speaker and author, but her background in education is prominent throughout this book and allows her to position her information from a knowledgeable and experiential perspective [1].

 

A line that is repeated throughout the book is “women have all the same parts organized differently”.  What a revolutionary concept!  When it comes to our body image, our self-awareness and our sexuality, we often compare ourselves to other women we see in media or we know in real life.  This concept of same yet different is repeated throughout the book and by the time you have completed it, you will feel more confident in every aspect of your body, your sexuality and your thoughts about intimacy.

 

What we like best about this book is how the information is presented.  Ms. Nagoski goes through everything from the physical anatomy of our sex organs (both female and male), the narratives that have been told culturally for centuries and case studies of real women (compilations of past students) and their sexual experiences.  She covers topics on everything from masturbation to orgasms to long-term relationships to not wanting sex to the stress cycle.  She writes about the topics in a very simple to understand, relatable way that will benefit all women.  She even starts by asking you to spend some time getting to know yourself…completely naked.

 

Another beneficial aspect of “Come As You Are” is that it includes several worksheets to help you work through some of your own sexual issues.  These worksheets include a sexual temperament assessment, sexual cues assessment, sexual context assessment and stress assessment.  If you are experiencing any issues in your sexual relationships, this book is a great resource and place to start for self-assessment to address what issues might be at hand.

 

Sex is not a bad word.  It is not something to feel shame around.  It is a beautiful part of being a woman.  Yet we often assign emotions and feelings and stories to our sexuality that take away from the positivity that is its gift to us. 

 

“Come As You Are” will open your eyes to so many areas around female sexuality and intimacy that you may or may not have been aware of.  We feel this is a hugely important book for women to read so that they better understand themselves, their bodies, their relationship to sex and their relationship with sexual partners.

 

We would love to know your thoughts on this book as well!  Please share in the comments below or send us a direct message if you would feel more comfortable based on the nature of this topic.

Instagram post 17854064317700365 ARE YOU FEELING LIKE A CRAZY PERSON??? THIS MIGHT BE WHY…⁣
⁣
Here's how yesterday went down…⁣
⁣
I woke up feeling a little off, but not totally out of the norm.  I went on with my day--which was super packed. ⁣
⁣
Mastermind meeting, phone meetings, client visits, board meeting (Can you say IN DEMAND WOMAN???). By the time I got home at 6:30p, helped clean the kitchen (oh yea, there was a pretty epic spill in the fridge, dishes everywhere, you know, the USUAL), fed the kids, got the kids settled down, read our family nighttime story (one of my favorite daily activities), kids asleep… YEP… I was FULL ON CRAZY MODE.⁣
⁣
I texted my moon 🌙 goddess friend and asked her… what do I do??? This full moon energy got me feeling all SWIRLY (does that make sense???). I knew she would give me sound advice.⁣
⁣
You know what she said? ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Slow down❤️ and take some time for ME.  Journal.  Sit with myself and be quiet.⁣
2️⃣ Have SEX!🔥 (You know this was definitely a win win for me and @jedifix!)⁣
⁣
So, I did both!  And you know what?  It was a great release!  There were also some tears and lots of breathwork mixed in there.  And at the end, I felt peaceful, calm and surrounded in positive energy.⁣
⁣
My point is, we can't ignore the forces around us!  While we may think we have CONTROL over every little thing… NOPE!  WRONG!⁣
⁣
I encourage you to surrender.  Adapt to the energy in the Universe.  Check in with YOU.  Practice self-care AND self-awareness. ⁣
⁣
There is BIG ENERGY right now…  don't avoid it.  Leverage it and take care of YOU!!!⁣
⁣
Can you relate to this?  How can I be of support to you???⁣
⁣
Xoxo 😘

⁣⁠
🛑Hold up, Girl!  Let's talk about living in the present.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I used to be the girl WHO LIVED FOR WEEKENDS!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I couldn't wait to:⁣⁠
⁣⁠
👉Ditch my diet (whatever was currently the fad)⁣⁠
⁣⁠
👉Drink booze then recover from hangover (hopefully)⁣⁠
⁣⁠
👉Stay up late, not sleep much⁣⁠
⁣⁠
👉Sit around, not moving much⁣⁠
⁣⁠
WELL THAT'S NOT A GREAT WEEKEND! ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Where is the intentionality?  Where is the self-care?  Where is the focus on what's truly important?🤷‍♀️⁣⁠
⁣⁠
It didn't exist because I didn't have the answers, and all I wanted to do was escape.  Escape from my day-to-day, escape from responsibilities, escape from my life.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
And IT SUCKED!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
You know what?  I love EVERY DAY NOW!  Because I know what fuels me, makes me feel alive and what actions I need to take to feel SASSY & IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
💓If you are feeling stuck, unmotivated and constantly trying to escape, I want to help you see another way.💓⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I'm here to support you, motivate you and inspire you to take care of you.  To FEEL EMPOWERED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES! ⁣⁠
⁣⁠

⁣⁠
💖When being in control doesn't serve you anymore⁣⁠
💖When you know you can trust yourself and the Universe⁣⁠
💖When you surrender to the timeline that is meant to be⁣⁠
💖When you feel at peace⁣⁠
💖When you let your heart and joy guide you⁣⁠
💖When you embrace who you are and feel in alignment⁣⁠
💖When you don't give a shit about that which doesn't serve your purpose and your soul⁣⁠
⁣⁠
That's when you find freedom.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Are you ready to SURRENDER?⁣⁠

Instagram post 18083882101081117 🥬PLANT-BASED EATING IS EVERYWHERE!!!⁣
⁣
You can find plant-based protein options in practically every grocery store and in many restaurants.  As more and more people are turning to a plant-based way of living, how do you wrap your brain around some of the myths that are out there?  Such as:⁣
⁣
🤔Can I get enough protein on a plant-based diet?⁣
⁣
🤔Do I have to eat 100% plant-based?⁣
⁣
🤔What about controversial effects of soy products?⁣
⁣
In Episode 19 of Sassy AF TV, Kathrine Kofoed (@passionforplants), talks to us about all things plant-based.  And, NO!  You don't have to commit to a 100% plant-based diet to incorporate more plant-based options into your life. ⁣
⁣

Instagram post 17901863383402370 I LOVE A GOOD COOKIE EXCHANGE PARTY!🍪⁣
⁣
I have a pretty mega sweet-tooth.  And during the holidays is one of my favorite times to indulge in sweet treats WITHOUT GUILT!⁣
⁣
Trust me--I've spent years beating myself up for eating some extra Christmas cookies or Hanukkah gelt and DUDE--it's just not worth the personal shaming!⁣
⁣
Through mindset and intentionality, I've re-created my narrative that it's OK and actually, KICK ASS, to eat yummy treats!⁣
⁣
That said…I also like to balance out my unusual schedule, extra goodies and indulgences with some INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT.⁣
⁣
❄️That's why I created the 31 Days of Fitness Challenge.❄️⁣
⁣
If you need some motivation and inspiration this holiday season, please join me for this FREE movement challenge starting SUNDAY 12/1! ⁣
⁣
You can sign up through the➡️ LINK IN MY BIO or just drop me a comment below and I'll send you the registration form.⁣
⁣

Instagram post 17844552973802854 ARE YOU A QUEEN?👑⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I just had the awesome opportunity to write an article for @okaycoolmagazine (published by @kittyknor) all about collaborating in business.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
While writing the article I realized how much I have changed my attitude from one of competition to one of collaboration.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
As a business owner and female entrepreneur, I feel particularly grateful and appreciative for all the women who have helped me grow over the past year.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
But BEYOND BUSINESS, I am so appreciative for all the women who support me in EVERY DAY LIFE (and men too!). ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Friendly competition is fine, but collaboration and partnership 🙌 is where growth happens.  If it weren't for the amazing people in my life who stand by me, support me and cheer me on, I would never be where I am today.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
And when I have the opportunity to support others, help their dreams come true and make them feel special and amazing… Well, there is JUST NO BETTER FEELING!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Share your crown, Queen!  There is room at the top for ALL OF US!💖⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Tag a friend in the comments below who supports you and one who you support!⁣⁠

Instagram post 18116533702010550 WHAT'S THAT GREEN STUFF IN THE GLASS WATER BOTTLE?⁣
⁣
Glad you asked!⁣
⁣
This is my @organifi green juice.  And I wouldn't tell you about it if I didn't think it was DELICIOUS AF and so good for my body!⁣
⁣
I decided to partner with @organifi after tasting their products at Pays To Be Brave #ptbb2019 (thanks @angieleeshow !)⁣
⁣
Let's just say… it was love at first taste.⁣
⁣
But let me tell you why….⁣
⁣
Because I'm an IN DEMAND WOMAN and I'm ALWAYS ON THE GO (duh!  Just like YOU!). ⁣
⁣
I love the idea of juicing and I used to do it. But the reality is, I don't have time for that.  Or the space in my kitchen for a proper juicer.  I still want superfoods like moringa, spirulina, chlorella, mint, turmeric, lemon, etc. to keep my body healthy and optimized.⁣
⁣
So, the solution… ONE SCOOP of @organifi green juice in some cold water each morning.  30 seconds to shake it up, 1-2 minutes to drink it!  Wham, bam, thank you @organifi!⁣
⁣
Their other products are great too…my personal faves: green juice, red juice and gold. And, if you buy the bundle right now (until 11/27) you get this gorgeous glass water bottle!⁣
⁣
As an ambassador for @organifi, I get to offer you a discount on your purchases (yay!!!). Check out the LINK IN MY BIO. Or just use my code SASSY at check out.⁣
⁣
What are your thoughts on juicing, superfoods or @organifi? ⁣
⁣
I know you will love it as much as I do!⁣
⁣

Instagram post 18104269060079399 LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX, BABY!⁣
⁣
Sex and intimacy are a very natural part of life and yet, often as In Demand Women we forget how fun and exciting this part of us can be…with or without a partner!⁣
⁣
I know I have struggled over the years as life has gotten more complicated how to "fit it all in" and how to feel about my body after having children, getting older, etc. etc.⁣
⁣
This week's guest on Sassy AF TV is @drchelseapage, a sex and relationship expert who helps women break free from being everything to everyone and really channel her inner miss desire.⁣
⁣
Dr. Chelsea has so much knowledge and insight that every In Demand Women needs to hear! I'm so excited to share this episode with you! ⁣
⁣
As always, I would so appreciate your comments and shares if you love this episode!⁣ [LINK IN BIO]

Instagram post 17857246912626028 I'M WORTH THE WAIT!⁣
⁣
This simple message has rocked my world. ⁣
⁣
🛑How many times have I rushed, felt scattered and felt like I'm on someone else's time scale? ⁣
⁣
🛑How many times have I put others' needs ahead of my own, only to feel stressed, burned out and resentful after?⁣
⁣
As an In Demand Woman, I want you to know that YOU ARE WORTH THE WAIT!  You deserve to put yourself ahead of your priority list and make sure that you are in alignment with your core values (hey there self-care). ⁣
⁣
There are times when others' needs will take priority, and that is fine!⁣
⁣
But I want you to remember that you need to honor yourself to show up as the SASSY, BADASS woman you are and really be present in all the things you do!⁣
⁣
🛑No guilt around taking time for you. ⁣
⁣
Save 💾 this post for when you are struggling being all things to all people…⁣
⁣
Sister, YOU ARE WORTH THE WAIT!!!⁣

Instagram post 17912812297364611 IT'S TIME TO SPARKLE, BABY!✨✨✨⁣
⁣
There was a time though when I forgot to sparkle.⁣
⁣
⚠️I forgot to take care of myself.⁣
⁣
⚠️I forgot to practice self-care (aligning with core values).⁣
⁣
⚠️I forgot to listen to my heart and be in flow.⁣
⁣
Have you ever felt like that? ⁣
⁣
As an In Demand Woman, you have a lot of demands on you from activities to work to friends to family.  It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and REALLY forget WHO YOU ARE!⁣
⁣
❗️I don't want you to forget!!!❗️⁣
⁣
I want to help you FIND YOUR SPARKLE!  FIND YOUR SASSY SIDE!  HAVE FUN!  DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING!⁣
⁣
If you are ready to step into the BEST version of you, leave me a note below and I'll connect you with my amazing tribe.⁣

Instagram post 17849658601698143 "I LOVE MY STRONG AND HEALTHY BODY.  MY SELF-WORTH IS NOT DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE."⁣⁠
⁣⁠
💥I say that because I'm in the process of changing my own story.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
💥I am changing my narrative to one that accepts me for who I am and does not include self-judgement over what size jeans I wear.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
My reason for starting Sassy Healthy Fit is deeply connected to this message.  While my mission has evolved to a bigger mission of women's empowerment, at my core, I know our own level of self-compassion and self-love is what will drive us to LEVEL UP and show up as the SASSY, BADASS women we are meant to be.⁣⁠

⁣
Today is an extra special day being 11/11 (and a shout out to our Veteran's too for all the service they have done for our beautiful country!).⁣
⁣
If you follow Angel Numbers you know that 11:11 signifies new beginnings and focusing on dreams.⁣
⁣
New beginnings, turning dreams into reality and focusing on the flow of the Universe resonates with me strongly. ⁣
⁣
We are 50 DAYS away from the end of this year; the end of this decade. ⁣
⁣
50 DAYS! ⁣
⁣
What dreams do you want to make reality as we enter a new year, a new decade?  Are you preparing for any major transitions?  Are you excited for new opportunities?  Are you focusing on healing past experiences? ⁣
⁣
Whatever your dreams, hopes and expectations are, I want you to know you are in control of your outcomes.  With each breath you take, you control the outcome. ⁣
⁣
Your desires and wishes are available to you and will be yours as long as you believe that to be true!⁣
⁣
Tell me… what is one of your desires as we head into the last 50 days of the year?⁣

It’s totally dead and you have to do ALL THE THINGS!!!⁣

Ugh!!!!🤬⁣
⁣
It feels like an uphill battle on days like that. You are an In Demand Woman and you rely on your phone for your schedule, your contacts, your community, YOUR LIFE LINE!⁣
⁣
All you need is one hour to plug it in and give it back life so you can go on doing what you need to do….⁣
⁣
Hmmmm…. Can YOU relate to this? ⁣
⁣
Are you charging your own battery?  Giving yourself that hour?  Making sure you have the tools and energy you need to be your own life line???⁣
⁣
We have to PRIORITIZE ourselves!  We have to stop sacrificing our own care for the sake of others. ⁣
⁣
I am here to help you, guide you, provide you tools and resources and community to get there. ⁣

Are you ready to join me??? The first step to charging your battery starts with YOU deciding to do it! ⁣

Instagram post 18079691278185453 DO YOU FEEL IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE?⁣
⁣
This is a BIG question for an In Demand Woman!  Think about it…⁣
⁣
You have all these demands on your time.  You have demands from your work.  Demands from your partner.  Demands from your kids.  Demands from your household.⁣
⁣
🤷‍♀️ARE YOU CONTROLLING THEM OR ARE THEY CONTROLLING YOU?⁣
⁣
I used to be OBSESSED with being in control of everything.  I could barely ask for help for fear that someone would "do it wrong". Case in point… I would do all the household chores (you know…dishes, laundry, food prep, etc.) and be "in charge" of the kids' schedules (play dates, school assignments, baths, etc.) AND never ask for help. ⁣
⁣
And guess what happened?  My husband stopped asking to help and I started getting extremely resentful.  Talk about a recipe for disaster!  Oooo…. I was the QUEEN victim and I was constantly stressed! ⁣
⁣
What I didn't realize is that by holding on so tightly to the control of everything, I was alienating myself from my husband and creating a lot of negative energy in my life. ⁣
⁣
Over the last couple of years, I have truly focused on slowing down, analyzing my life and my intentions, and making conscious shifts toward positive energy.⁣
⁣
When I surrendered to the fact that I cannot possibly do everything myself AND the fact that others could pitch in and do a great job… I found myself feeling MORE in control than I had before.  And the best part… the stress has gone WAY DOWN!  Imagine that…⁣
⁣
As we begin a new week and a new month, take some time to slow down and really look at all the demands on your time. ⁣
⁣
➡️Are there areas you can seek help?⁣
⁣
➡️Are there ways for you to surrender and really focus on what's truly important in your life?⁣
⁣
Comment below if this resonates with you and SAVE 💾 this post for when you need a reminder to surrender!⁣
⁣
Xoxo 😘 ⁣
Instagram post 17876375809469620 WHAT'S SPOOKIER THAN A HAUNTED HOUSE ON HALLOWEEN???⁣
⁣
➡️Feeling guilty for having fun on a holiday!⁣
⁣
Let's start our Fall and Winter holiday season with a promise of NO GUILT!⁣

Can you commit to this?⁣
⁣
Here are my QUICK TIPS FOR THE IN DEMAND WOMAN TO SURVIVE THE HOLIDAYS:⁣
⁣
👻Remember, you have all the choice and control!  Leverage that!⁣
⁣
🍫Enjoy and indulge in foods and beverages that make you feel good--just don't overdo it… there is beauty in moderation.⁣
⁣
💦Stay hydrated! (This one works all year round…)⁣
⁣
💃Dance your booty off!  Or walk, workout, run…whatever makes you feel good and active.⁣
⁣
😍Surround yourself with positive influences.  If you are around people that pressure on you to behave a way you don't like, choose to be with other people.⁣
⁣
🎃HAVE FUN! ⁣
⁣
What are your plans for Halloween???⁣
