ABOUT THE BOOK
What does it really take to create lasting sexual connections in long-term relationships? Most couples struggle at some point to maintain their sexual connection. But a lot of the advice we are given on sex is either not very good or steeped in cultural assumptions and expectations that can end up hurting us.
In Come Together, leading sexual wellness educator, Dr Emily Nagoski, takes on one of the most misunderstood subjects of all time - good sex - and shows us that most of what we've been taught about enjoying sex is wrong.
Featuring inclusive stories and examples from a wide range of couples and individuals, you'll find out what great sex really looks like and the best way to overcome obstacles - including relationship conflicts, gendered beliefs about how sex 'should be' and body image worries.
With insight, humour and empathy, Come Together will radically transform the way you approach sex and desire, and empower you to create long-term, fulfilling sexual connections.
ABOUT THE BOOK CLUB
The SAS National Book Club brings together professionals to explore influential books in clinical sexology through discussion, reflection and shared professional development.
Each session explores how the book’s ideas can be applied to contemporary clinical sexology practice, supporting evidence-informed care and professional reflection. You don’t need to have finished the book, but reading it beforehand will help you get the most from the discussion.
Participants may claim professional development with SAS. Some external professional bodies may recognise attendance for continuing professional development (CPD).
The Book Club meetings are facilitated by Martin Gladman (Clinical Sexologist, Relationships Counsellor and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker) and Deborah Vanderwerp (Educator and Counsellor), both of whom are SAS members from Victoria.
A SAS book list is available here. Please also check out our live Book Club picks and latest recommendations as they get added on Goodreads!
