Women On Top

Product Information

Slowly and inexorably the social/legal current is sucking women back into a form of sexual slavery, depriving us of the right to control our bodies. Girls today don’t banish the girl who has sex, but they do if she has sex with two men when they have only one. How do you tell women that if we lose the power of our sexuality, if we fail to instill it in our daughters, we will have won the battle but lost the revolution? Or will they regress, telling themselves what generations of well-intentioned mothers have believed, that in limiting their little girls’ sexuality they are protecting them for their own good? Critics have labeled Friday's books unscientific, because the author solicited responses", [16] thus potentially biasing the contributor pool.

Even on college campuses, the surveys show that a partner’s career potential far outweighs sexual compatibility. Marriage has a way of regressing us, confronting us with images of how our parents were as husband and wife. Nancy Friday's groundbreaking books My Secret Garden and Forbidden Flowers offered an unprecedentedly detailed and honest look at the inner fantasy lives of ordinary women. Beyond My Control: Forbidden Fantasies in an Uncensored Age shows that our fantasies are not compensation for a "missing" sex life but are a critical component of our fullest selves, the secret desires that yearn to soar.

Ten years ago when Men in Love, my book on men’s sexual fantasies, was published, one of their favorite fantasies was the image of a woman bringing herself to orgasm. These days, what women want sexually is more daring, more expressive and more diverse than any generation ago.

We should value our erotic reveries no less seriously, because they are the complex expressions of what we consciously desire and unconsciously fear. These are women's voices finally dealing with the full lexicon of human emotion, sexual imagery and language. Anger is still a difficult emotion for women to voice in reality, primarily because we get no practice expressing it in that first, most important relationship, opposite mother.Nancy Friday died at her home in Manhattan from complications of Alzheimer's disease on November 5, 2017, at the age of 84. Billboards, books, films, videos, TV, advertising, unrelentingly drill home that sex is a given, therefore good. Fromme, could have persuaded these women to drop the veil from the preconscious -- that level of consciousness between the unconscious and full awareness -- and reveal the fantasy they had repeatedly enjoyed and then denied. 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. But beyond the fantasies and experiences of these womenare the comments and observations of Nancy Friday herself.

An awakening in that, if you have had a certain type of fantasy or experience and feel that you are the only person in the world who has had such, you may learn of others who have had similar ones. A classic work on how women think about sex, from the New York Times–bestselling author of My Secret Garden and My Mother/Myself. Her legacy is that My Secret Garden still inspires a younger generation with its bold, embarrassing honesty, and Bright gives her own advice for a rereading: “Don’t read the analysis, read the stories, then think of your own.It’s taken me half a lifetime and the writing of six books, all of which deal at least in part with sexuality, to appreciate the role masturbation plays in our lives, or might play if we weren’t so troubled about this simple, private act. It simply hadn’t occurred to me that women could be more guilty about what they were thinking than what they were doing.

Dodson made it her life’s work to show women how to do that – to go beyond the fantasy and get to the nuts and bolts of how your sexual body actually works. Its deepest roots lie in his female-dominated childhood, just as they did for his father and his father before him, a time when a woman had all the power in the world over his life and which he never forgets.
