My Secret Garden: Women's Sexual Fantasies by Nancy Friday

4.0

4 Stars

She has a penchant for difficult men, types who beat her up either physically or mentally. I've never known her to be attracted to a "nice guy", and I get the feeling there's something in her that would turn even a nice guy into a bastard. 


A strange book and one that didn't quite go as I planned. 

It's a list of sexual fantasies she has collected and commentary not on the fantasies but on how people react to them. 

It's very dated - you can tell the time it is from and some of the stories are wild and horrible but their fantasies so I guess that's where discretion comes into it. 

While I wouldn't shelf it as a feminist read it is nice read on what women desired at the time.
