By turns uproarious and touching, the memoir of a young woman's
search for an orgasm--and for the elusive connections between sex
and love
Twenty-six-year-old Mara Altman wanted to know what all the
screaming was about. She'd lost her virginity at seventeen; grown
up in southern California with sexually free parents; had lovers in
India, Burma, and Peru; and spent a year in Bangkok observing all
manner of depravity. And yet she was an attractive, successful,
single woman in New York who'd never had an orgasm.
And so she embarked on a wildly funny, emotionally resonant
odyssey--a journey both inside and outside herself--only to
discover that, for Mara, orgasm was connected to a part of her that
no vibrator could reach. "Thanks for Coming" is one woman's look at
our obsession with and anxiety over the female orgasm. Her quest to
get her own yields poignant results that will surprise even the
sexually awakened among us. From sex shows to sex conventions, from
a therapist's couch to her own couch, from the bedroom to the bar,
Mara Altman proves to be a guide as hilarious as she is
investigative.
