Sexuality

"35 years later, the follow-up to the groundbreaking mega-bestseller My Secret Garden, explores the nature of our sexual fantasies."

Nancy Friday was one the sexual revolution's most controversial figures, captivating the world with her 1973 mega-bestseller, My Secret Garden. In Beyond My Control, Friday illustrates how and why the face of sexual fantasy has become more imaginitive than ever before. She collects the sexual fantasies of dozens of women, and for the first time men, and teaches us to proudly own the creativity of our sexual imagination and indulge in the power of our sexual visions.

Beyond My Control captures the sexual pulse of a people living in an uninhibited age of equality. Friday explores the wildest and most erotic corners of our collective imagination, and reveals our most hidden desires.
