Want

Sexual Fantasies by Anonymous

De: Gillian Anderson

Narrado por: Gillian Anderson, Anonymous

A collection of confessions from women around the world, Want is a revelatory, sensational and game-changing exploration of women’s sexuality that asks, and answers: How do women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous?

What do you want, when no one is watching?
What do you want, when the lights are off?
What do you want, when you are anonymous?

When we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet for many reasons—some complicated, some not—so many of us don’t talk about it. Our deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of us, until someone comes along with the key.

Here’s the key.

In this generation-defining book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous letters of hundreds of self-identifying women from around the world (along with her own anonymous letter).

From a Sikh woman who writes about her secret lust for her brother-in-law, an Apache American woman who wants to be worshipped like a divine creature, a white British woman who just wants to be properly kissed one last time, another who likes to role play as a panther, or a Hispanic Jewish woman living in Bangladesh, for whom the pinnacle of sexual arousal is a doorknob, Want reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous.

What do you want?

Great book

Very interesting book. Keep me interested and relaxed. I do recommend this book for others.

Authenticity

The vulnerability expressed aroused me as much as a single word written. I cannot recommend highly enough. 🥰

Review

Loved the subject. I felt a few of the readings did not do the letters justice.

meh - but with something gained

ultimately there’s maybe accumulated value here - in terms of giving “visibility” to this thoroughly female mental/physical space. and ultimately I learned things and loved the international reach of the project. however, listening to it is boring and some of the narrators (one in particular) really annoyed me.

Women’s S Fantasy

I call this a collection of letters to study women’s sexual fantasies. Some of the letters were common, others wild. But as someone who reads smut on the regular….many of these are written in these books, which is quite fascinating. Just should read this and smut….if you did the research then you would know.
