Achieve a better sex life (and that means orgasm!), with friendly advice on everything from anatomy to solo and partnered pleasure
It’s time to address the “orgasm gap”: Studies show that only 65 percent of straight women reach climax during sex, compared to 95 percent of men. Regardless of orientation, the unfortunate truth is that, for those of us with vaginas, climaxing is anything but guaranteed. Never fear! Are You Coming? is here to help everyone with a vagina, straight or queer, who wants to take their sex life to the next level. Into just 200 pages, it packs everything there is to know: anatomy basicsthe thirteen types of orgasmhow to talk about sex with your partnerdifferent positions and toys to try—and more! Plus, the text is sprinkled with “quickie” tips, line drawings, and fun quotes from iconic celebrities and TV shows. We’ve been told that the art of female orgasm is elusive, but this peppy guide proves that it’s easy! Or, at least, it can be. Are you coming?

Right off the bat, this book hooked me in. If the title and cover weren’t interesting enough, the first few pages on why women need this book in their lives really hit home for me.
The author included some percentages and research that were really eye opening!
I appreciate that this book is informative without being obscene. There are some diagrams that are tastefully drawn and helpful in aiding the text in the book. I also like that there are quotes and little orange boxes with added information throughout the chapters. It breaks up the informational part of the book and gives you a second the collect your thoughts on what you just read.
This book is laid out pretty well. It explains anatomy, orgasms and the types, and tips for communicating with a partner in the bedroom, about problems and positions. I really feel like it covers a lot of topics and issues surrounding women and sex! I love that this book is informative and also inclusive of women assigned female at birth, as well as trans women.
I read a review on this book that asked the question, “why don’t all women have this book in their repertoire?” and I wondered the same!
Thank you so much to The Experiment for sharing a copy of Are You Coming? by Laura Hiddinga for review,
I loved this guide to orgasms and their many forms. I did not know there were that many types or how I would go about having one if I so desired. I really liked that with the scientific explanations, there were also helpful tips to try if you would like. The quotes from people who had experienced each type was an interesting addition as well. Overall an honest guide to orgasms and what you might need to try to experience one, as well as positions for each, some sex toy descriptions and more.
I loved how this book was inclusive for all body types and genders. Literally, encompasses everything you need and want to know. Really well done.
Are You Coming? by Laura Hiddinga is a fantastic primer for anyone wanting to know more about the ins and outs of the vaginal and clitoral orgasm. Covering everything from basic anatomy to the various types of orgasms and how to have them (and how to have even better ones), this book offers professional and personal advice that you will want to come back to time and time again. With topics ranging from solo excursions to talking with your partner and all the problems you main run into along the way, Are You Coming? is a well-rounded book that deals with both the mental and physical aspects of the orgasm. Easy to read and easy to follow, Hiddinga breaks down all medical terms and explains things with the words and lingo everyone already knows. This book is also inclusive, which is great to see. Instead of just discussing the female orgasm, Are You Coming? respects the differing experiences between, for example, someone assigned female at birth and a trans woman, or a straight couple and a queer couple. The book not only acknowledges that these differences exist, but also provides specific positions or toys that might be beneficial to those not AFAB or in a lesbian relationship. The goal is more people having more happy endings, and Are You Coming? has something for everyone explained in ways everyone can understand.
I have read "Are you coming" in a day and loved it. I feel that the book delivers on what it says it will. There is a lot of detailed information on the basics (biologyl class), on different types of orgasams, what can help with achieving one, what can cause sex to be painful, how to focus on communicating and then there are illustations to help with choosing your next position.
I would highly recommend reading to anyone who has a vulva and wants to learn more about how to achieve an orgasm.
Thank you Laura Hiddinga and the Experiment for letting me review the book before it's published.
I enjoyed this book but I am curious and not one to shy away from what may consider taboo subjects. Women need to not be shamed by feelings about sex and their bodies. This was a fun book to read.
This is a short, but really educational little book all about female orgasms. It's very inclusive, packed with practical tips and a very easy read. Definitely beats the women's magazines I used to read as a teenager! I definitely had no clue there are 13(!) types of female orgasm...!
Thanks to NetGalley for the free review copy.
A great book about female orgasm, with way more detail and honest fact than you'd find in a typical sex education class.
Enjoyed this book. Some books of this type are just too crass, but this title managed to share the information in an educational, but not too scientific way. This would be a great bachelorette party gift also!
According to some studies, only 35% of straight women reaching climax during sex compared to 95% of men. For many women who have sex, the unfortunate truth is that climaxing is not always (usually isn’t) guaranteed.
As a female, I thought that I already knew everything there was to know about my anatomy and more importantly the female orgasm - hows wrong I was. Who knew there were different types? Laura takes basic sex education and brings it to the modern world. The book is professional but yet personal and is a book that is thoroughly enjoyable.
The cover is colourful and eyecatching and would make me pick it up from a bookshelf.
As an avid Romance reader, I read about a lot of sex. What you don't read about a lot is sexual dysfunction. For those of us that may have a difficult time "getting there' and my growing interest in the shapes and forms of relationships (LGBTQ included), I felt this book was an excellent resource.
The author provides excellent explanations for all the things related to the ladygasm (trans and queer relationships included). Laura Hiddinga provides all the explanations of the many different types of orgasms, positions, and how to "get there" with little tips and tricks thrown in. There is even a section on accessories and details of how and when they might come in handy. Laura also discusses the possibly uncomfortable or maybe less socially acceptable subject of how to talk to your partner about your needs and wants.
Are You Coming? is a very sex-positive book about helping the ladies, gaydies, and theydies make sure they are getting theirs too.

Are You Coming? A Vagina Owner’s Guide to Orgasm is recommended to anyone who would like to learn more about female genitalia and orgasms. I read this book in one day and found it to be an easy to read guide on a number of (sometimes) difficult topics such as female genitalia, different types of orgasms, solo sex, painful sex, and communicating with your partner. Are You Coming? also strives to take into account more than heterosexual encounters. #AreYouComing #NetGalley
This book is packed with advice, information and truths about orgasms. From anatomy to types of orgasms, from how to talk about it with partners to different positions to try. This book has covered lots of bases to discuss something that is very rarely fully discussed - female orgasms!
This is a great guide for both men and women. It doesn't matter if you are in a straight relationship or a homosexual relationship. There are tips and tricks that are helpful to both sexes in any type of relationship. The book gives resources for people to go to if they have further concerns or questions. It contains "quickies" which are short, fun little tips. There are also diagrams as needed. It was helpful and gave a lot of information that I didn't know.
I found this to be an interesting read with some new information I'd never heard before or never thought about. I think it's a nice book to empower you into taking responsibility for your own body and asking for what you need and want. It's written in an easy to understand way with lots of descriptive images.
Thanks to Netgalley.com and The Experiment for my eARC copy.
If I didn’t work in a school library I would so get this book for our collection! But I have recommended it to many friends and those who read it have learned a lot about themselves. These are definitely the things not taught to women and oh how different the world would be if everyone, including men, knew how to pleasure women! Written in an easy to understand style, not condescending and so very informative. This author needs to be giving TED Talks on this topic!
