Synopsis

A collection of sexual fantasies from women around the world, Want is a revelatory, sensational, and game-changing exploration of women’s sexuality that asks, and answers: How do women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous?

“The book you hold in your hands started as an invitation to women across the world, a call for women to share the sexual fantasies, thoughts, and feelings that so many of us hold in our heads but so rarely speak out loud. A chance to gather the voices of women worldwide into a new book of fantasies for a new generation. I have always been intrigued by sexual fantasies, and I view my role in this book as a curator, shepherding these diverse and amazing voices into book form. This book is a platform for the voices of all women, no matter where they come from or how they were born, to enable us, in complete anonymity, not only to share, but paradoxically to be seen and be heard. I want to take away the taboo of fantasies and bring in the body positive, the thrill, and the fun of it all in the hope that this book, your letters, through disclosure, representation, and identification, might inspire.”—Gillian Anderson

Goodreads review by Meike on October 19, 2024

Anderson has intended this collection of sex fantasies by anonymous women to be a sequel to My Secret Garden: Women's Sexual Fantasies from 1973, in order to investigate what has and hasn't changed. Hence, that's the frame of mind the book has to be approached with: These are texts written by averag......more

My Selling Pitch: Are you down to be bummed the fuck out when you realize 90% of the submitted fantasies are just please be nice to me and also I hate my body? This won’t get you hot and bothered, and it’s not a feminist analysis of desire, but if you wanna waste a few hours of your life, you can re......more

Goodreads review by Jillian on November 13, 2024

I can’t resist the lure of a buzzy book, so when I saw how much press this one was getting, I felt like I had to read it. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. This book is a collection of sexual fantasies submitted by women from around the world. The thing about reading other people’s fantasies is......more

Goodreads review by Rebecca on July 18, 2024

A beautiful and powerful collection of fantasies submitted anonymously to and curated by Gillian Anderson, who introduces each section. Reading this was first and foremost incredibly validating. I love the power of women's imaginations. One of the sections made me very sad - so many women's ultimate......more
