Want. Sexual Fantasies by Anonymous

What are your deepest desires when nobody sees you? Whose image fills your mind when the darkness surrounds you? What do you truly seek in your thoughts about sex? Conversations about sex often touch on themes of femininity and maternity, betrayal and misuse, consent and dignity, equality and justice, love and hate, pleasure and suffering. Yet, many of us shy away from these discussions. In her transformative book, Gillian Anderson brings together and presents the secret sexual fantasies of women from different cultures around the globe, including one she anonymously contributed herself. These entries are remarkable, overflowing with longing, trepidation, closeness, embarrassment, fulfillment, and ultimately, emancipation. They range from forbidden desires and imagined encounters with multiple partners to gentle, tender moments or vibrant, playful unions. Whether from women without sexual experience or those with more stories than they can recount, these fantasies unveil our innermost thoughts. "Want" uncovers the authentic feelings women have about sex when they can express themselves freely.
