My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Reads like a Post-Secret compilation, curated by Gillian Anderson. Interesting read. This is like Nancy Friday's "My Secret Garden" but includes inputs from a more diverse group of women. WoC plus LGBQT folks. Fascinating look into the human psyche. Our brains are the sexiest organs for sure.
Interesting take aways is that is totally normal to have fantasies, and that queer people fantasize about heterosexual sex (sometimes?) Not every fantasy should be turned to reality, or in other words, fantasies are safe and the creator has complete control of what happens. That's not always the case in real life. I was going to say something about how women still feel shame about their fantasies even in today's age. The truth is, society is regressing a bit when it comes to social values and women's rights. That sucks, but in any case, there's a lot less stigma around sex in general if we compare society today to 1973 when My Secret Garden came out. It's surprising to compare what has changed and what stays the same. You'd have to read the book to know.
Good read.
