Nancy Friday patří k nejkontroverznějším postavám sexuální revoluce. Její kniha My Secret Garden (česky Moje tajemná zahrada, 1998) z roku 1973 se stala bestselerem. V Sexu bez zábran se věnuje tabuizovaným erotickým fantaziím a tužbám, které dnes díky bezbřehým možnostem, jež nabízí internet, mohou lidé lépe rozvíjet nebo sdílet s někým dalším.Při čtení knihy se, slovy jedné americké recenze, „budete trochu červenat a zrychlí se vám tep... Je to vzrušující četba. Ale copak život není vzrušující? A pokud ten váš není, čtěte pomalu.“
Autorka bestselleru Moje tajemná zahrada pokračuje ve své nové knize Zakázané ovoce v odhalování ženských erotických fantazií. Se svými fantaziemi se jí svěřily samy čtenářky, z jejichž dopisů vznikla kniha, která ukazuje, že se ženy za své fantazie nemusí stydět.
Jak říká jedna čtenářka: „Až doposud jsem musela před manželem své touhy skrývat, teď už vím, že erotické touhy mají všechny ženy a že se nemám za co stydět!“
Jen v Evropě se už prodalo milion výtisků této knihy.
CO BY VÁM ŘEKL MANŽEL NEBO MILENEC, KDYBYSTE SE PŘIZNALA, ŽE HO MILUJTE, ALE VZRUŠUJE VÁS JEŠTĚ NĚKDO JINÝ?
Na základě dopisů a rozhovorů s různými typy žen o jejich erotických a milostných představách se autorka pokusila sestavit tuto knihu. Ženy se v nich otevřeně vyznávají ze svých skrytých tužeb, které ve většině případech nemohou uskutečnit.
A narrative of one woman's research into and search for jealousy in her own life, how she came to deal with it, and suggestions for others on how to handle jealousy in your own life.
Being the daughter of a pastor, Erica Collins never got a chance to live a normal life. When she lost her mother at a very young age, she questioned her faith in the Lord. Pastor Collins tried to rescue her faith by tying her everyday life even more closely to the church. Now 21 years old, Erica's only escape from her father and his Bible is when she hooks up with her best friend, Nicole. She finds a little freedom through Nicole's wild stories, with most of them being about her boyfriend, Mekco. Erica is all in, craving the attention and the lifestyle that Nicole has. Mekco is the leader of The Detroit Brick Boyz. Now that his best friend and the former leader of the crew, Pierre AKA P, is out of jail, Mekco is ready to put his boy back on without stepping down as the leader. Before getting knocked, Pierre was used to living the fast lifestyle and making money. After he's released, he is introduced to the beautiful Erica Collins. Once Erica enters his life, he questions if he has been living wrong all along. He soon finds himself falling for a young lady who didn't have any business looking his way. He wants to do right by her, but pursuing his position as the leader of the Brick Boyz and dealing with snakes from the past cause him to push her away. This pastor's daughter has some choices to make. Does she return to the flock, or fully enter the world of these kingpins?
This is a compilation of the many letters sent to the author by women sharing their most intimate sexual fantasies about topics such as masturbation, oral sex, sex with more than one man, lesbian sex and anal sex. In her extended introduction to these erotic fantasies the author compares the fantasies of today's women with those featured in her previous book, My Secret Garden. The author comes to the conclusion that despite everything the fantasies of the women of the 1990s are more liberated, more experimental and more outrageous than those of the women of the 1970s. More importantly, the author also notes a tendency for younger women to be freer of guilt about explicit sexual fantasizing. Nancy Friday is the author of Men in Love.
Nancy Friday shows that the key to a woman's character lies in her relationship with her mother - that first binding relationship which becomes the model for so much of a woman's adult relationships with men, and whose fetters constrain her sexuality, independence, and very selfhood.
Using her own life story as a springboard, Nancy Friday traces the past 25 years of changes in women's attitudes about self-esteem, appearance, and sexuality. Enormously fun to read.--New York Times Book Review.
