On Maintaining Desire (Emily Nagoski, PhD)
b"\\u201cThe deal is your bodies are going to change over time and people can stay attracted to somebody's body over time, even though it is unrecognizable from what it was like when they first met because that body is the home of a human they adore our attraction to a person's body can be just like superficial something like your toenails are gross, or it can be here is the human whose life I have shared in our home for all these years and like their belly and their bum and their varicose veins and their scar from the surgery that saved their life all of it is so fucking hot because this is my person.\\u201d\\nSo says Emily Nagoski, one of the most exceptional minds at work today on the science\\u2014and she would add, art\\u2014of sexual connection, intimacy, and arousal. Emily is brilliant and she\\u2019s also deeply human, using her own experiences in the world as the foundational ground for exploring relationship: This means that she\\u2019s not full of heady theory and diagnoses, but focused on what actually works to fuel desire\\u2014and bring it to fruition.\\nShe\\u2019s the author of the mega bestselling Come as You Are, as well as a book called Burnout about the stress cycle that she co-authored with her twin sister, and now she brings us Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections, which is the natural evolution. While Come as You Are is a primer on how we all function as sexual creatures, Come Together explores what happens when you bring that into relationship\\u2014and try to establish and maintain a connection that can endure through seasons of, well, low interest.\\xa0\\nShe is full of ideas, principles, and methods for getting it going\\u2014including a core blueprint for determining what rooms are adjacent to your desire. I loved this book, I love Emily, and I loved our conversation.\\n\\nMORE FROM THE EMILY NAGOSKI:\\nCome Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections\\nBurnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle\\nCome as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life\\nWatch Emily\\u2019s TED Talk\\nEmily\\u2019s Website\\nFollow Emily on Instagram\\n \\nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\\n \\n Learn more about your ad choices.
