Women on Top

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.
