Nancy Friday – My Secret Garden

This book caused quite a ruckus when it was released 25 years ago because it directly quotes the sexual fantasies of dozens of women, ranging from the “very common” rape fantasy to lesbian affairs to unusually explicit scenarios that are unmentionable here. While author Nancy Friday maintains that My Secret Garden served to free millions of women from sexual oppression, there’s still a need today to get rid of the guilt that millions more still feel when it comes to fantasizing, having orgasms, and making one’s sexual wishes be known. “How could it be, you might ask,” she writes, “that women today, at the turn of the century, would still think they were the only Bad Girls with erotic thoughts? What kind of prison is this that that women impose on themselves?”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671019872/ref=pd_sim_b_1/103-0935769-6199033?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155
