Takes sex fantasies to a new level of honesty, vividness, and pleasure. He studies not just the vanilla daydreams of high schoolers, but the five consistently most popular fantasies among both men and women: sex with a stranger, rape, exhibitionism/voyeurism, homosexual encounters, and sadomasochism. With both citations and bibliography, Litten argues authoritatively that there's no such thing as an evil sex fantasy. Even the most bizarre are born in the unconscious and can help us to understand ourselves. "Self-understanding is one reason I wrote this book," he says. "Another is to unapologetically show how to make our fantasies even more fulfilling." More than 150 actual reader's fantasies.
