In this episode, we look at the book Come As You Are: The
Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by
Emily Nagoski, and discuss the idea that libido isn't a simple
drive toward sex, but rather a combination of "accelerators" and
"brakes" that either drive us toward sexual engagement or inhibit
sexual desire.
We also take the accelerators and brakes test, talk about how the
idea is interesting but the book has weaknesses in its exploration
of accelerators and brakes, and discuss our own complicated sex
drives.
