#88 - Why Women Fake Orgasms with Emily Nagoski, PhD author of the bestselling book Come As You Are

Body Kindness

Continuing my women’s health series, today we’re talking about sex. My guest is one of my favorite “sexpert” authors Emily Nagoski, sex educator and author of the New York Times bestseller Come As You Are: the surprising new science that will transform your sex life.

Among the gems in our conversation today: how our sex-negative culture came to be, intimacy without performance pleasure, and how our sexual well-being is byproduct of our overall well-being. I also share how her groundbreaking book changed my life.

Be sure to check out Emily’s TED Talk The truth about unwanted arousal in the show notes - over 1 million views and counting - and be sure let me know what you think of this episode!
