Customer Rating: Summary: Thought provoking and erotic. Comment: I read My Secret Garden when I was 16, and have made a point since then to make Nancy Friday books gifts to women who I have been going out with. Why? Because in my experience, the women in the books although seemingly from all strata of life, are unique in their ability to verbalise their thoughts and desires, and this in my experience still, even today, makes them in the minority.
Which is criminal, because it rather selfishly brings me back to my reason for reading these books, not just to find out what women want in their sex lives from a physical point of view, but to find out how to foster a relationship dynamic that enables my partner to be able to communicate those desires in an open and honest way. Sadly, in my experience I have found so many women to be still repressed and in denial of their true selves and the value of these books should be obvious. Every schoolgirl should read them and be able to realise that she has the freedom to claim her own sexual freedom identity and be free to claim it and express it.
Us blokes are much more linear in our desires and satisfactions I think, and it has always been my view that if who I am with is having a good time, then I am most certainly having one, and if reading Ms Fridays books give people the freedom to explore these areas together, then they are wonderful indeed.
I think she over-analyses sometimes, and I am as guilty as the next man iin sometimes scooting through the text to get to the next fantasy section. In my view, the fantasies are the book, the fact that women can express them, and others read them, compare with their own and realise that it is ok to think or do those things. Over analysis of fantasy robs them of their magic, and like half remembered dreams robs them of their potency.
Of the 4 books I own, I rate "Flowers" as the best, followed by "Garden" and "Top" although all could be lumped together into one volume for that matter. men in Love is a different kettle of fish, its about men and our simple ways.
I would like to thank Ms Friday and everyone who contributed to her books, and indeed anyone who has read them, enjoyed them and valued them for making the world a better place.
Customer Rating: Summary: An unparalleled insight into women's fantasies Comment: Not only are the fantasies stated, they are introduced and commented. Beyond the erotic power of some of the tales, this book opens a window on the world of women's psyche. Nancy Friday does with fantasies what psychoanalysis does with dreams. She disects them and makes them meaningful.
This book inspired me in my real life as well as in my writings. A most instructive and arousing reading. Customer Rating: Summary: Good cure for insomnia Comment: I looked forward to this book and was disappointed. As someone stated in another review, it's the same fantasies over and over again. Many of them are written using the same slang and terminology to reference certain parts of the anatomy. Considering the English language has a dozen words or different ways to describe the female anatomy it seemed more than a bit odd that most of the women who submitted fantasies would all choose to use the same 2 or 3 words. About 1/4 of the way into the book it started to seem like the author wrote a lot of the fantasies herself since she also uses the same slang lingo in her chapter intros and the fantasies are all so similar. The book also lacks variety but if you're interested in reading the mostly tame fantasies of totally inexperienced or totally repressed women, this might be a good read. Customer Rating: Summary: Long Before Sex in The City Comment: This wonderful book came along to say that women do have fantasies. And some of them can be more intricate than you might think.
If you believe the saying that says, "You won't be good to me off your feet, if you're not good to me on your feet," you will probably be open to reading this book.
It's a great book for both genders. For men because the pressure can be taken off of them. For women, to say, "Express yourself!!"
Customer Rating: Summary: Woman on Top by Nancy Friday Comment: I had already read some of Nancy Fridays other books including "Men in Love" which discusses men's sexual fantazies so I wanted to hear what she had to say about the ladies too. This is a very interesting and informative read, and might give the ladies some hints to spice up there sex lives too. I would recommed this book and Nancy Friday is a very well informed sex therapist.
