Rating: Summary: Don't bother Review: "My Secret Garden" was far better. Some of the stories read far more like male fantasies of what "dirty girl" fantasies might be. Somehow, this book just left me cold & bored.

Rating: Summary: Like this a lot! Review: A great sequel to "My Secret Garden". The fantasies here are more explicit and provocative
Rating: Summary: Not for the squeamish Review: Although fantasies were given by "regular" people, I found the descriptions of making it with dogs and dreaming of what you'd do to your baby neice, not only objectionable, but just plain gross. I don't think your average person would appreciate such fantasies. Based on other reviewers here, I thought it would be about really erotic/possibly romantic escaapades. I had no idea it would be bizarre and ugly. I think there were 2 I liked, but they were just so-so. I wonder about an author that provides a forum for such material.
Rating: Summary: Am I allowed to say I love this book? Review: Am I allowed to say that this book gets me off? No? Am I allowed to say that this book could be a marital aid? No? Am I allowed to say that this collection of women's sexual fantasies will teach you things about women that you never even dreamed about? Well, I guess you can delete my review. By the way, this book is slightly better than "Secret Garden" (the contributors are more open after having read that book) and "Women on Top" (which was a bit too self-conscious) and "Men in Love" (because women do this fantasy thing better than guys)
Rating: Summary: This book set a stage for me! Review: I picked up this book at the airport to read on my flight. While almost half way through, the man next to me wanted to know what I was reading. I told him. While I left my seat - he read it and didn't want to give it back. We finally started discussing the theory of fantasies - mostly him asking me questions- is this really what women think? And me answering. Needless to say - we both learned a lot and these books will teach a lot. Fantasies have become a most talked about subject.
Rating: Summary: great Review: I,m a 32years old chinese woman,I read this book 5 years ago,unfortunatelly I lost it.I couldn't buy it in china,I like this book very much.
Rating: Summary: Forbidden Flowers Review: If you're a man who would like to understand how women think and feel about sex, this book, along with the others in its series, is a must have. Contrary to popular belief, women feel just as much lust as a man. Most are highly selective about who they have sex with, but not because sex interests them any less. Unlike a man, the availability of sex is not usually sufficient reason to have sex, but don't think they aren't daydreaming about it.Some of the fantasies are strange and even disturbing, but I think that is to be expected. The things a person fantasizes about aren't necessarily the things they would want to do in real life. In any case this is a very good book and one I'd highly recommend for anyone seeking to understand human sexuality.

Rating: Summary: Don't bother Review: Let's face it. For most of us, the intellectual aspect of this book and all of Nancy Friday's books on sexual fantasies is not why we read these books. They turn us on. If someone catches us reading them, we can use the excuse that we are interested in social scientific questions about women (and men) and how they think. I think that if not for the social scientific discussions, this book might have been banned in 1973. The book tries to cover all areas of women's sexual fantasies, so it stands to reason that some parts will squick some readers. I think that it's best not to read it all in one sitting; it will eventually get boring and repetitive. A chapter or two at a time for the first sitting is best. Of course, one will develop a few favorites among all the fantasies, and read them over and over again. I have, but I'm not going to tell which ones. :-) Men should read this book as well. They're bound to find it as stimulating as women, and it should help them understand women better.
