The most common response we get from women and men who see our I Female Orgasm T-shirts, buttons, and posters is, Me, too!

Maybe youve picked up this book because youre a fan of female orgasmsyour own, your partners, or all womens everywhere. Perhaps youre a woman hoping to learn how to have your first orgasm, how to have multiple orgasms, how to make your G-spot sizzle, or how to come during intercourse. Or maybe youre hoping to become the kind of husband, boyfriend, or partner women brag to each other about. Whatever your gender; whether youre straight, lesbian, or bisexual; single, partnered, or married; youve come to the right place. Packed with advice, ideas, and information, this book is all about the O.

As independent, self-employed sex educators, we travel the country educating audiences about this topic. Weve learned theres no such thing as a place where female orgasm isnt popular: From cheering crowds in rural Arkansas to the heart of Manhattan to the New Mexico desert, the enthusiasm is the same. Our work has brought us to the mountains of Maine a half-dozen times, and weve flown through the Indianapolis airport twice as many. Weve learned how to score the best seats on an airplane, we can mend a broken suitcase wheel, and weve mastered the technique of convincing hotel clerks to bake another batch of complimentary chocolate chip cookies.
