Nancy Friday’s bestseller, My Secret Garden, divulged women’s deepest desires in the 70s. Now the star of Sex Education is exploring where our imaginations are taking us today
My Secret Garden: Women’s Sexual Fantasies
What Friday’s book revealed was that, for some of us, the sex we have in our head may be more stimulating than the physical nuts and bolts of any coupling, no matter how hot. Untrammelled by internalised social constraints, self-consciousness, or perhaps the fear of freaking our partner out, in our imagination we can indulge in our deepest, dirtiest desires.
What struck me also, with more than a little sadness, was the strong note of sexual frustration that many of these women in the 70s expressed . The experience of women was still such that what they wanted was not necessarily what they were getting. Many had never experienced an orgasm. Some didn’t know what a sexual fantasy was; others could not acknowledge that they had them.
