Women’s Top 10 Secret Sexual Fantasies
The Shocking Landscape of Female Erotic Desires
“Fantasy–the original “theater of the mind”–makes up a huge portion of human consciousness.” — Susan Block
It is a common misconception that women are less sexual than men. This ideology results in the myth that women do not think about sex, let alone fantasize about it, which is simply untrue. All human beings have fantasies of some sort or another. While women’s sexual fantasies may not always reflect what they want in real life, they can be the impetus of building desire and the libido[i].
With the success of the “Fifty Shades of Grey” franchise[ii] [iii], it is clear that women often think about, if not indulge in lusty and even kinky fantasies.
Years before “Fifty Shades”, Nancy Friday’s book “My Secret Garden” compiled women’s private fantasies from hundreds of interviews to expose the sometimes shocking landscape of female erotic desires. When it was published in 1973, the book was groundbreaking for establishing that women’s fantasies indeed exist and were just as hardcore and taboo as men’s.
Nearly a half-century later, women’s intimate imaginings are even more diverse and provocative than before.
