SEX, a word that is seemingly inappropriate to most is what author of Women On Top, Nancy Friday, considers a source of power. Throughout this compilation of stories Friday asks personal questions to strong women about how they view sex. She changes their lives as she convinces them that this societal taboo is actually a powerful trait that can define us as individuals, our relationships, and, ultimately, our happiness.
I fell in love with this book after seeing noticing that the way Friday executes her message is similar to that of Eve Ensler and The Vagina Monologues. The notable difference between the two being topic, Friday defends the woman sexual fantasy. Although it may be different to each one of us, sexual fantasies are prevalent in our sexual lives and it’s important to value what they mean to us. After explaining the power of orgasms, masturbation, and dominating in the bedroom, Friday encourages us all to explore our own fantasies. I personally have been more aware of my sexuality and what my actions in the bedroom and in my mind mean to me, deterring my fears of being normal in either case.
I felt empowered after reading this book; Friday understands that sexual fantasies is a topic women fear having in the public eye but not only breaks that down, she asks us to really visualize going beyond our wildest dreams and if we damn well feel like it, doing with that as we please.

Essentially a sequel to My Secret Garden, the author draws the connection between our minds, and our bodies. Goes beyond mere (!) erotica, to take on self-understanding, acceptance, and the growth of consciousness. As a man, it challenged me where I wanted reassurance, and reassured me where I wanted to be challenged. Not really enough science here. No slight to fantasies intended. ( )

Ok so I was 15 when a friend and I pooled our money and bought [b:My Secret Garden|2997|My Secret Garden|Nancy Friday|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1161888321s/2997.jpg|176578] ( more than 20 years ago) - and then I bought this a year or so later. For me this was a lot more eyeopening and disturbing than the first. I have no idea where it ended up - most likely I lent it to someone and it was never returned. ( )

Le testimonianze raccolte in Donne sopra vanno dal 1980 a oggi. Sono fantasie selezionate tramite colloqui e lettere ricevute in risposta all'invito che rivolsi a tutte le donne desiderose di collaborare a questo libro. La richiesta di scrivermi era pubblicata in fondo a Il mio giardino segreto e Forbidden Flowers: c'era il numero di una casella postale e garantivo l'anonimato.
Per la prima volta le voci di queste donne dicono chiaro che le nostre fantasie erotiche sono cambiate di pari passo con gli accadimenti recenti: non sono distrazioni masturbatorie, nello stile da fumetto di «Playboy», ma brillanti intuizioni di ciò che smuove la vita reale: indizi preziosi per definire sia la nostra identità sia i sogni che si fanno di notte.
Nancy Friday

Donne sopra. Le nuove fantasie sessuali femminili: Le figlie del femminismo e della liberazione sessuale parlano delle loro fantasie sessuali: il quadro che emerge mostra come le donne oggi considerino il proprio immaginario erotico una estensione naturale della loro vita. Il sesso è una realtà cui non è dato sottrarsi a beneficio di questioni più importanti. Sono testimonianze espresse attraverso l'intero lessico delle emozioni umane, dell'immaginazione e del linguaggio sessuale. Voglie sado-maso, voyeurismo, etero e omosessualità: non c'è territorio inesplorato. Ma ciò che accomuna tutte le fantasie è la consapevolezza che queste non rappresentano più gli sfoghi liberatori di una generazione troppo vicina ai tabù ma sono indizi preziosi per definire la propria identità e conoscersi meglio.

Nancy Friday approda in libreria con Donne sopra (Mondadori), fantasie sessuali femminili decisamente post romantiche. Le testimonianze delle donne comuni, le loro lettere o racconti di vita sono raccolte dalla Friday nel suo libro. Donne sopra a trent' anni di distanza da Il mio giardino segreto, promette di svelare come sono cambiate le fantasie sessuali femminili. Le testimoni hanno per la maggior parte 20 o 30 anni e sono figlie della rivoluzione sessuale.

Little more than Penthouse letters written by women...not that there is anything wrong with that. ( )

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable.
– Carl Gustav Jung, Psychological Types, 1923

It's an odd time to be writing about sex.

Today's sexual climate is somber. Gone are the lively debates and writings about sex as part of our humanity. The toll of AIDS, reports from the abortion battlefield, and the alarming rise of unintended pregnancies make sex seem more risky than joyful.
