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.

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!

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.

Fucking mindblowing

Can't begin to describe how incredible this book is. As a male I've had so many realizations while reading it.

Having open communication

Right on point with open communication, only if everyone could be this honest. The world would change to positive

Interesting

i like to see that we all have different fantasies

love that it's anonymous feel like everyone could just say everything

and the author made me realize alot about female sexuality

great book

I love that they had multiple voices narrating the different stories

This is a classic text that celebrates Women’s erotic fantasies and can help every woman understand that she is not unusual in having fantasies, in fact they come in so many different flavors and can contribute greatly to the experience of sexual pleasure and arousal.

Unbearable narration.

The first 2 chapters sound like the author is fantasizing about herself and her revolutionary contribution to humankind. Maybe its the narrator. But I think my ears were bleeding. Agreed it was brave and awesome to approach this subject, how about just a little tiny bit more humility in the presentation.

Overall, I do appreciate the concept of recognizing that (IMHO) actually women and men pretty much have the same range of fantasy for the same range of reasons. Something I was fairly aware of but can always use a good reminder. There are some cultural precepts that are healthy to let go of. But at least the way its narrated, it sounds so utterly exploding out of dire repression and presumptuous that men can't possibly understand the female perspective that I could not bare to listen beyond 4 chapters. However this is just my perspective, I do appreciate that this book seems to have helped many people feel understood.

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!

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..

I got my groove back

I finished it in one day. loved all the feedback, from both professionals and individuals.

Thanks

I learnt something new but found the book boring probably because it’s an old book.

Fascinating but appallingly read

Fascinating and important work, if rather outdated, but the various performers are interminably awful. Would still recommend but go in warned!

Great book

I can't believe the guys name is real. Phil McCracken. If you don't see the use or purpose of this book then it says a lot more about you.

no real story

just no substance, not worth the time or money... well the one credit in this case

boring

boring
a lot of waffle
the voice just does not do it for me, and boring

Narration hard

Found the narration and accent in general almost robotic and couldn't continue with although did try.

Horrible reader, boring book, very disappointing.

HATED IT ... COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY INTERESTING BUT A MASSIVE LOST OPPORTUNITY. DON'T WASTE A CREDIT ON IT.
