My Secret Garden: Women's Sexual Fantasies by Nancy Friday
informative
medium-paced
3.0
I listened to this one on Audible, which made for some interesting car rides.
In this collection, Nancy Friday asked women to share their sexual fantasies. It is amazing how many women responded and, even more astounding, how many admitted to some pretty graphic fantasies, not all of which involved men. The breadth of fantasies was so wide that Nancy broke them down into "rooms" within an imaginary house. This enabled her to organize the fantasies into chapters with a specific focus.
No matter how strange a woman's fantasy might be, it is hard to believe it wasn't covered in this book. Seriously. I try not to judge, but there were some bizarre things shared with her that made me slightly uncomfortable. And I'm not one to get squimish usually.
It was an interesting social experiment that challenged the idea that women were less sexually minded then men. I think it was especially so when it was published in 1973.
