Publisher's summary

Nancy Friday's taboo-shattering best seller My Secret Garden is the most popular and controversial book of women's sexual fantasies ever published. Women who feared their erotic fantasies called it scandalous. Women who recognized their own fantasies in its pages, rejoiced. Outspoken, graphic, vulnerable and shameless, My Secret Garden is a classic study of female sexuality.

Friday interviewed hundreds of women from every part of the country to learn their sexual private thoughts, and she listened like no one else. Now in audio for the first time, a multi-cast group of top actors dramatize the real voices of women speaking freely like they never had before.

absolutely 💯 % insightful

As a male in my early 30's I found this book to be illuminating. I discovered this book by way of the topic, getting into a Woman head, upond reading I found it to be far more insightful then I had even imagined. Some of the fantasies however I did found to be totally disgraceful, (Beastiality/ Encest) but that's just my personal Opinion. Otherwise the book served its purpose of giving me a better understanding of the fact that Women do have strong sexual desires, and why it's not exactly something they're hardwired to talk about. upon the reading of this book, I have a better appreciation for my own sexual desires and also had a sexual fantasy realized 😅
P.S
Loved reading/ listing to this book and especially thought the defensive of it at the end was a profoundly superior argument to detractors!

secrets

Everyone has them. To put someone down for their own thoughts is disgusting. The same as someones beliefs. Sometimes I've lost friends because of that. All I can say is "It's none of their or your business".. Never asked them to join in or except any part of anything. All I can honestly say is, thing what you want, dress like you want, eat what you want, I don't give a shit as long as it's your thing or belief. Don't you dare point a finger at me, broken noses come very easy, and I won't give a shit either.. I could care less what someone thinks, or if I'm liked or disliked. I loose the same amount of sleep either way
NONE!!!! Not one second do I loose!!!

Absolutely exquisite

This book is an excellent window to women sexual fantasies. It place women’s desires into perspective towards us, men, who are oblivious of what women want. Thank you Nancy Friday.

es buen libro para conocer distintas fantasías

muestra muchas fantasías... muchas. no podemos generalizar que todas las mujeres tengan este tipo de fantasías y en algunas ocasiones esperaba algo más de análisis sobre ellas. Cómo etnografía, muy bien hecho.

A book worth listening .. Eye opener

Amazing stories, fantastic settings, and mind-boggling fantasies,
I can say for sure that most men, don't ever listen to this kind of book. And you'll be a great advantage if you do.


What Doe's security seeking creatures want from their Sex life???

Adventure .. Intimacy. Secrecy, New and fresh romance. Mindful sex, and sharing a passion for each other.

Thanks Nancy..

Great read! Even for men!

Mutually beneficial and exciting! Like many men, I have always been curious of what women fantasize about. Truly this book is a "tell all"! After reading it I think it's beneficial for men as well; though, I think it was more directed towards women. This book allowed me to be more open and accepting of my partner and her fantasies. And what's better than being able to fantasize together, me and her? If doors are closed, this book is the key!
