Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections By Emily Nagoski
"Come Together" by Emily Nagoski, PhD, builds on the groundbreaking insights of her previous bestseller, "Come as You Are," focusing on the dynamics of sex in long-term relationships. In this illuminating exploration, Nagoski challenges prevalent myths about sexuality, debunking the notion that sexual satisfaction inevitably declines over the course of a relationship.
Addressing the common struggles individuals face in maintaining a satisfying sexual connection with their partners, Nagoski emphasizes that the quality of sex is more crucial than the frequency. She dispels the myth of "spontaneous desire" and introduces a new perspective on desire that is sustainable over the long term.
