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

3.0

Ok so like objectively this books was probably really important and sensational when it was published. It is like reading a time capsule in many ways. But the thing about time capsules is that some of them maybe should remain buried. I honestly can’t get my head around this book. Like important for the women’s sexual Revolution? Probably. Shining a light on women as independent sexual beings and not little virgins who exist only for men? Great! But also boy this book is A LOT. I don’t want to judge people’s fantasies but I personally wasn’t prepared for all the beastiality (those poor dogs), incest, underaged, non con and who BOY racism. Like A LOT of racism. This book also had big “are the straights ok vibes.” Idk man. Don’t read it is my suggestion. Just like read an article about it if you’re curious. Or don’t - never think about this again. That also works.
