Nancy Friday

Womens sexual Fantasies

This is a book about men who love women. But it is not a collection of love stories. It is a study of the secret, erotic fantasies that men have always kept hidden, a taboo-shattering investigation that reveals the deepest, most conflicting feelings that men have about women, men and their own sexuality. Men in Love goes beyond the socio-sexual cliché of woman seen as either madonna or whore to reveal the conflict of love and rage at the centre of men's emotions and erotic desires. Based on thousands of candid responses from men ranging from their teens to their sixties, Men in Love - startling and shocking - will change men's deepest feelings about their sexuality and make the women who care about them understand them as never before.

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. In Women on Top, Friday returns to this topic, collecting detailed sexual fantasies from over 150 contemporary women from diverse backgrounds. Based on intimate personal interviews and letters, this book updates the conversation opened in her earlier works on women's sexual fantasies, detailing how women's erotic lives have changed over the past few decades-and remained the same. Nancy Friday's seminal works exploring female sexual fantasy have shattered taboos, exposed hidden desires, and opened up a conversation on women and sex that continues to be relevant today.

An examination of the changes in women's attitudes about self-esteem, appearance, and sexuality over the past twenty-five years journeys from the fashion runways of Paris to the two-parent nursery, from the diaphragm to the WonderBra.

Friday explores the wildest and most erotic corners of our collective imagination, and reveals our most hidden desires.

My Mother/My Self examines the first, most lasting--and most crucial--time of every woman's life, and shows how, in all the passages of a woman's life--with men, with other women, on the job, and with her own daughters--every woman can begin to change the childhood patterns of the mother/daughter bond, and become the vital, independent, fully sexual woman she wants to be.

A narrative of one woman's research into and search for jealousy in her own life, how she came to deal with it, and suggestions for others on how to handle jealousy in your own life.
