Now, in \u003ci\u003eCome Together, \u003c\/i\u003e Nagoski takes on a fundamentally misunderstood subject: sex in long-term relationships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 we've 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 that's not true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So, what is true? \u003ci\u003eCome Together\u003c\/i\u003e isn't about how much we want sex, or how often we're having it; it's about whether we \u003ci\u003elike\u003c\/i\u003e the sex we're 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. You'll learn: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- that \"spontaneous desire\" is not the kind of desire to strive for if you want to have great sex for decades\u003cbr\u003e- 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\u003cbr\u003e- how to understand your own and your partner's \"emotional floorplan,\" so that you have a blueprint for how to get to a sexy state of mind \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with scientific rigor, humor, and compassion, Nagoski shows us what great sex can look like, how to create it in our \u003ci\u003eown\u003c\/i\u003e lives, and what to do when struggles arise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Nagoski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ballantine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593500835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Nagoski\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling, award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eCome as You Are\u003c\/i\u003e and co-author, with her sister, Amelia, of \u003ci\u003eBurnout\u003c\/i\u003e.
