Product Description

Product Description

This is a compilation of the many letters sent to the author by women sharing their most intimate sexual fantasies about topics such as masturbation, oral sex, sex with more than one man, lesbian sex and anal sex. In her extended introduction to these erotic fantasies the author compares the fantasies of today's women with those featured in her previous book, "My Secret Garden". She concludes that despite everything the fantasies of the women of the 1990s are more liberated, more experimental and more outrageous than those of the women of the 1970s. She also notes a tendency for younger women to be freer of guilt about explicit sexual fantasizing. Nancy Friday is the author of "Men in Love".


About the Author

Nancy Friday, psychoanalyst and socio-sexual historian, has been the leading writer on women's and men's sexual fantasies since the publication of her first book My Secret Garden.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational reading for anyone lacking confidence, 13 Feb 2004
This review is from: Women on Top (Paperback)
For all the failings it has (such as the lack of diverse sources, and Nancy's sometimes over analylitcal approach), this book does one thing..... it makes you realise that everyone has a diverse sexual imagination, whether they choose to act upon it or not. People who clearly would never 'behave in such a manner' in their real lives, are obviously just as interested as those who sleep with everyone they come across.

In essence then this book encourages women of all ages, backgrounds and sexual preferences to realise they are 'normal', in as much as that 'normal' doesn't exsist. All the women in this book are linked by their fantasies but restrained by their moral backgrounds, religious beliefs and so on. I found it refreshing to read and it gives me hope that true emancipation may one day come into fruition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally Liberating!, 30 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I loved this book. It made me realise that I was not alone, and that so many other women (of all ages) shared the same strong thoughts and feelings as I did. It really opened my eyes to my own fantasies that I never knew I had, or had just never thought about. It also made it easier for me to talk with my partner about what I wanted, because I realised that my fantasises were 'OK', and nothing to be ashamed of. A definite must, I would recommend it to any woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexual liberation and fantasy., 27 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Women on Top (Paperback)
Nancy Friday has written about women's sexulity for a long time. In "Women on Top", she writes about women's fantasies and there are a lot of fantasies herein. Be warned that some of the fantasies are extremely over the top and a bit icky. However, most of the them are interesting and it's always good to draw parallels between peronal ones and those of others. I would recommend this along with "Playtime" and "Against Love", two other books that deal very well with female sexuality.
