‘Thanks For Coming’ Book Giveaway
April 13, 2009
**** CONTEST HAS ENDED. CONGRATS TO RITA, MARCY, TONI, KRIS AND JON****
I have been reading Mara Altma’s new book ‘Thanks For Coming’ and I must say it is GOOD!!
It’s a memoir by Mara, who has never had an orgasm and we get to go with her on her journey to achieve one. This book is so addictive. Mara does an amazing job at keeping us interested 
At age twenty six, though she was far from a virgin (she lost her virginity at 17), and was by all accounts, a successful, attractive, single woman, Mara had still not yet experienced an orgasm. Oh the poor girl!
Considering Mara is a writer, she enjoyed the challenge of doing a little investigative work into the cause of and cure for her own anorgasmia. She decided to embark on a journey that would make her achieve her mission, in more ways than one, to her own sexual enlightenment.
THANKS FOR COMING is being called one part therapy, one part reporting (she jumps right into sex conventions, sex shows, fetish parties, and even a trip to see her virgin whore), and one highly unusual and eye-opening memoir.
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.
