Come together : the science (and art!) of creating lasting sexual connections
Nagoski, Emily, author
2024
"In Come as You Are, Emily Nagoski, PhD, provided science-backed lessons that revolutionized the way we think about women's sexuality. Now, in Come Together, Nagoski takes on a fundamentally misunderstood subject: good sex. Nagoski breaks down the myths many of us have been taught about sex-for instance, the belief that sexual satisfaction and desire are highest at the beginning of a relationship and that they will inevitably decline the longer that relationship lasts. Nagoski assures us that's not true. So, what is true? Come Together isn't about how much we want sex, or how often we're having it; it's about whether we like the sex we're having. Nagoski breaks down the obstacles that impede us from enjoying sex-from stress and body image, to relationship difficulties and gendered beliefs about how sex "should" be-and presents the best ways to overcome them. You'll learn: That "spontaneous desire" is not the kind of desire to strive for if you want to have great sex for decades. Vocabulary for talking with partners about ways to get in "the mood" and how to not take it personally when "the mood" is nowhere to be found. How to understand your own and your partners' "emotional floorplan," so that you have a blueprint for how to get to a sexy state of mind. With her signature insight, humor, and empathy, Nagoski shows us what great sex can look like, how to create it in our own lives, and what to do when struggles arise."-- Provided by publisher.

Jeffrey Allen and Ashley Hallene wrote Technology Tips for Seniors, Volume 2.0 to help you harness that power. This book propels readers beyond the boundaries of the last Technology Tips for Seniors book. It is designed to walk readers through technology tips for the office, the home, on the road and help you safely to maximize your time online. This volume even adds a chapter on the authors' favorite apps, a quick start guide for applications you may want to incorporate into your use of your tablets, phones and other smart devices. Every turn of the page presents a new tip, suggestion, or product to add to your technology tool kit. Volume 2.0 does not update or replace the authors' first Technology Tips For Seniors book. The authors create a brand-new collection of tips and suggestions that augments their first Technology Tips for Seniors book. You don't need to read the first one to understand the second; but if you do not have the first volume, you probably want to get it as the two together give you even more help and the tips in the first volume remain valuable today.
