This book has taught me to be a more accepting lover than I have been in the past. It just seems more fun that way. Pretty good book! Enjoyed it

Ok so I was 15 when a friend and I pooled our money and bought this ( more than 20 years ago) - for me it was thrilling and eyeopening. She ended up keeping the copy so I no longer have it but stil uhhum think about it on occassion.

An interesting collection of sexual fantasies that was no doubt an important release at the time.

I have two very distinct feelings about this book. The first is that I am glad it was written. Having a collection of women's fantasies is kind of comforting. While I am comfortable with mine now when I was younger I felt embarrassed and a touch shameful because it had never been something anyone had discussed with me and I did not have any comprehension of what was "normal." The second is that the sections before each list of fantasies are very and at times very very out of date or inaccurate in their psychological reasoning behind each type of fantasy. A few show some insight but in general many should be updated so that they apply less Freudian ideas and readers without any knowledge about modern psych aren't misled.

I super enjoyed this book full of ladies' fantasies about all sorts of topics. I was amazed at how many women fantasized about animals, but it was refreshing to read about the diversity of fantasies. While I don't have any particular hangups about fantasizing myself, it certainly helps to show you that whatever you're thinking about (or not) is okay. It also made me think about how & when I fantasize. Plus, reading all the ladies' fantasies is great fodder for my own personal sexy times.
