Women On Top

Product Information

They were selected from interviews and letters written to me in answer to an invitation to women who wished to contribute to a future book on women's sexual fantasies. Once, it seemed as if the women's movement for economic and political equality and the sexual revolution were one campaign. Written by feminist Nancy Friday - whom I understand to be a psychologist of some sort - 'Women on Top' is a collection of erotic fantasies from hundreds of "oppressed" females who find empowerment through gangbangs, rape scenarios and bestiality. If we were to change the repetitious pattern of women's lives, we had to honestly accept what we had with her/mother. In a post- 50 Shades of Grey world, a new audience is ready for Nancy Friday’s groundbreaking work on female sexual fantasies.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. And so women were safely divided into madonnas and whores, the one to marry and become a mother, the other to fuck.Society adapted more readily to women's entry into the workplace than to their growing into full sexuality. Women's groups once rallied against books by Nabokov and Henry Miller, works that are tame in comparison to these lolitas. As more and more working women try to integrate family and home into an already crowded life, there is understandably little sympathy from their sisters who never abandoned the old values. If there is a rape fantasy, today's woman is just as likely to flip the scenario into one in which she overpowers and rapes the man. She talks about how these awful stories are proof women don’t need feminism when they’re read much more readily as proof that women are living in an incredibly sick world and forced to eroticize disgusting stuff to make sense of it.

Apparently, women fantasize about horses and donkeys and being able to enjoy their stamina before an audience of cocktailing onlookers. There is the fantasy held by a middle aged woman who wishes to be walked on all fours, collar round the neck, a leash held by her lover as he directs her to a mirror. Those first voices were tentative and filled with guilt, not for having done anything but simply for daring to admit the inadmissible: that they had erotic thoughts that sexually aroused them. Femininity is a powerful force and indeed, there probably is much truth in the author's claim that women are "the more powerful sex". So immediate were these two social phenomena that it seemed as if women had been waiting in the wings for centuries, pent up, frustrated, with all of our enormous energies just barely under control.Even on college campuses, the surveys show that a partner's career potential far outweighs sexual compatibility.

What then was so threatening to our understanding of human psychology that we had denied the possibility that women have a powerful sexual identity, a private erotic memory?But within months it seemed that women's erotic reveries had been with us always, so much so that advertisers were using fantasy as a selling tool before the year was over. The stories I am drawn to now are not necessarily the most interesting sexually speaking; rather they are the ones where the first-person narrator's voice stands out from the rest of the women in this book. It was as if mother continued to sit in judgment throughout the daughter's life, wagging her finger at the daughter's every sexual move and thought. We blame men for all the injustices against us because it is easier than acknowledging our fear and anger at women/ mother. In contrast to these dire predictions comes a new and even younger generation whose fantasies till this book.

I wish I could recreate for those of you who are too young to have known those years -- or for those who have forgotten -- how genuinely exciting they were. Anger is still a difficult emotion for women to voice in reality, primarily because we get no practice expressing it in that first, most important relationship, opposite mother. It is seldom discussed but nonetheless true that economic parity is less threatening to the system than sexual equality. Nancy Friday's international bestsellers 'My Secret Garden' and 'Forbidden Flowers' revealed that women possess erotic imaginations at least as inventive and powerful as those of men.

And both camps alienated traditional women, who had stayed within the family unit and whose values, needs, and very existence were ignored. Erst in den letzten Jahren wird der Einsatz von visuellen Methoden in der qualitativen Forschung verstärkt diskutiert. I bought this as a hen night present and some of the women's fantasies are very explicit, great fun and possibly great for a newly married couple!
