#95 Come As You Are Because YES You Are Normal
We are SO excited about this episode. Emily Nagoski AKA one of our idols and author of the groundbreaking book Come As You Are joins us to talk all about female sexuality. We talk vulvas, clits, g-spots, orgasm, and all about how WE ARE ALL "normal”! We also answer a sex question from a female-identified listener: Are the homosexual thoughts just in my head or should I leave my heterosexual relationship? About Emily: Emily Nagoski, Ph.D is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller, Come As You Are: the surprising new science that will transform your sex life and The Come As You Are Workbook, and co-author, with her sister Amelia, of Burnout: the secret to unlocking the stress cycle. She began her work as a sex educator at the University of Delaware, where volunteered as a peer sex educator while studying psychology with minors in cognitive science and philosophy. She went on to earn a M.S. in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Health Behavior, both from Indiana University, with clinical and research training at the Kinsey Institute. Now she combines sex education and stress education to teach women to live with confidence and joy inside their bodies.
