This could be through the messages we hear from parents, our teachers, the media, religion, culture and even science. By the time we hit puberty and we are aware of what’s happening around us we may find that the garden wasn’t cultivated as well as we would like or that it contains more weeds than flowers. Since we are still dependent on our parents and caregivers, they, in turn, take the liberty to cultivate our garden. So how does the garden come in?Įmily posits that as children, we are each born with a garden. Just like what may be good for the gander may not be good for the goose. Drawing even closer to home, all females are the same but each is unique. Emily Nagoski who gives a very good example about gardens, flowers and weeds highlights that both men and women have unique genitals but arranged in the same way. So during the weekend, I got down to some serious biology, science, sex and sexuality education and this is what I discovered.Ĭliche as it may be, especially since this is the mantra from every self-help book, what you believe is the key to owning your sexuality and wielding that power as it is. Well, aside from it being dubbed, the new surprising science that will transform my sex life, it was on my read list. You may wonder why I went for this book specifically. I went exploring my first point of contact in the book Come As you are. Lynda, how much can you say about your sexual wellbeing? Deep huh, considering it’s a preposition that led to this unnerving question. Not because it wasn’t a valid question but because the thought was overtaken by a more deep-seated question that resurfaced. I wondered what’s the difference if not the preposition? I didn’t ask. Recently I had an epiphany when I wrote this article about vajacials and someone mentioned that you do not do the vajacial on your vulva but around. Before we get any deeper I will tell you how all this came about and why you need to quickly grab an audio version of this book written by Emily Nagoski, Come As You Are. However, each time I learn and discover something about myself I also wonder whether I am feeding on the right narrative.


Do you ever sit down and wonder how much you know about yourself? I am a very introspective person.
