Description
Hampton Sides writes, "Lucky for us, Mary Roach is a writer impervious to embarrassment. Showing uncommon aplomb in the face of exceedingly odd people and situations, she gamely takes on subjects as weighty as death (Stiff), the afterlife (Spook), and now sex. We're all voyeurs at heart, with a desperate need to scratch at these lurid, vital, uncomfortable questions. Thank god we have Mary Roach to do the scratching for us!" Despite being an attractive, successful, single woman in New York, Mara Altman 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 her, 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, and her account of getting her own - told in the most hilarious way imaginable, with poignant results that will surprise even the sexually awakened among us.More Info
