Come as You Are

This book is for everybody. It's written to women, but the information is equally applicable to men. My husband found this book and started reading it, then bought me my own copy. It opened our eyes to what is actually “normal,” and gave us a shared vocabulary for talking about our sexuality. It was vastly encouraging and also challenging.
The author does an excellent job of using science and studies and research to form her conclusions, and then giving examples and metaphors to describe and explain the science so that the reader can easily understand and apply it. And as a sex educator, she herself is an expert in the field, and has life experiences of her students to draw from. She's also completely nonjudgmental and erases the fears we all have of being weird or broken.

In short, this is an excellent book and it has implications that far outreach “just” sex. There are principles in this book that I can translate into every area of my life. I'm buying a copy for my sister, and I highly recommend it to anyone, and it's especially great for couples to read together.
