Overview
This two-book collection brings together Emily Nagoski's New York Times bestseller Come As You Are with its practical companion, The Come As You Are Workbook. These paperbacks offer a complete path from understanding to action: the original book unpacks the science behind female sexuality and the Dual Control Model of arousal and desire, while the workbook turns those insights into hands-on exercises and journaling prompts. Written by a sex educator with a PhD in health behavior, this set is an evidence-based guide for building a more confident, satisfying sex life.

About the Books
Emily Nagoski's Come As You Are became a New York Times bestseller because it finally explained why women's sexuality had been misunderstood for generations. Drawing on more than a decade of research, Nagoski introduces the Dual Control Model, showing that arousal and inhibition operate as separate systems shaped by context, stress, mood, and body image rather than by anatomy alone. The book dismantles common myths about desire and orgasm, replacing shame with science and giving readers a framework for understanding their own sexual response. The Come As You Are Workbook turns that framework into practice. Readers work through guided journaling prompts, illustrated diagrams, and self-assessment exercises designed to map their own arousal patterns, identify stressors affecting intimacy, and experiment with strategies for more pleasurable, pressure-free sex. It can be used solo or worked through with a partner to build communication and trust, and references concepts from the original book throughout. Paired, these two paperbacks move a reader from insight to action: one explains why sex works the way it does, and the other helps put that understanding into daily practice.
