Want: Sexual Fantasies by Anonymous By Gillian Anderson

Want is a daring and groundbreaking collection of confessions that provides a revelatory glimpse into women's deepest sexual desires, fantasies, and experiences, all shared anonymously. Compiled and introduced by actress Gillian Anderson, the book features hundreds of letters from self-identifying women from around the world, addressing themes like womanhood, motherhood, infidelity, consent, respect, love, hate, pleasure, and pain.

This exploration delves into the core of what women desire when liberated from societal expectations and judgment. From a Sikh woman’s secret lust for her brother-in-law to an Apache woman’s desire to be worshipped like a goddess, Want offers a powerful and candid look at the complexity of female sexuality. The confessions are as diverse as the women sharing them—a British woman longing for one last kiss, a Hispanic Jewish woman living in Bangladesh turned on by a doorknob, or another who role-plays as a panther. Each letter is a key unlocking a secret world of longing and intimacy that women often keep hidden.

Anderson’s collection challenges taboos and provokes thought, shining a light on how women feel about sex when free to express themselves anonymously. It’s a bold and game-changing inquiry into the intersection of sexuality, identity, and freedom, allowing women to reclaim their narratives without fear or shame. In its unapologetic honesty, Want gives readers the space to ask themselves: What do you want, when no one is watching? 📚❤️
