What do you want when no one is watching?
What do you want, when the lights are off?
What do you want, when you are anonymous?

When we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet so many of us don’t talk about it at all.

In this groundbreaking book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous sexual fantasies of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous submission). They are all extraordinary: full of desire, fear, intimacy, shame, satisfaction and, ultimately, liberation. From dreaming about someone off-limits to conjuring a scene with multiple partners, from sex that is gentle and tender to passionate and playful, from women who have never had sex to women who have had more sex than they can remember, these fantasies provide a window into the most secret part of our minds.

Want reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally themselves.

I love Gillian Anderson, and her bits were 👌🏼
This is just short essays from women about their sexual fantasies. It's interesting and sometimes quite emotional, but does kinda get a bit samey after a while. Better if you just listen to a wee bit at a time. It also felt like it was aimed much more towards queer women. As a heterosexual, I didn't get as much out of it as I would have liked

It was fine

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not at all prudish... but what is wrong with some people? Fantasies about women/men/groups/bosses etc. I can understand absolutely fine, but fantasies about doing it with a tree, a horse, a Bigfoot, or being licked by wolves? Really!? That's disgusting! It's worth a read but be prepared. I felt physically ill after some of these stories and I am not a prude by a long shot.
Gillian's narration was OK, a bit breathy and trying to be sexual in places. The actors who read the letters were OK also but not anything special.
