Emily Nagoski (born 1977)[2] is a sex educator and researcher, and author of the book Come as You Are.[3] She is currently director of wellness education at Smith College, where she teaches a course on women's sexuality.[4][5]

Come as You Are[]

Among various topics, Come as You Are discusses the difference between "spontaneous" and "responsive" sexual desire,[6][4] with Nagoski estimating that only around 15% of women experience the former.[3] She also discusses "arousal non-concordance",[7] estimating, based on experiments of responsiveness to sexual stimuli, that there is a roughly 50% overlap between what men find physically and mentally arousing, compared with only 10% for women.[8]

Burnout[]

In 2019, Nagoski and her twin sister Amelia co-wrote the book Burnout, on the causes and management of stress, including structural factors that particularly affect women.[9][10] They contrast the relatively short-term dynamics of stress in evolutionary times with modern-day stressors that often go unresolved, and discuss forms of affection and physical activity that help complete what they call the "stress cycle".[11]
