ABOUT THE BOOK

An intimate profile of women's sexual thoughts and feelings, presented in a humanistic study which stresses the need for individual choice and the enjoyment of sex in the framework of this choice. The Fantasy Files reminds us that sexuality is life.

Based on her wide scientific sampling and interpretation, Dr. Shanor's file of fantasies and her commentary on them give all readers, men and women, a profound insight into the nature of women's sexuality and the healthy uses of fantasy.

Using a broad selection of women of all ages, classes, and educational levels, Dr. Shanor begins to sort out answers to such time-honored questions as: What kind of women have certain fantasies? What turns women on? Do woman fantasize differently from men? Is it true that women's fantasies are more "romantic" as opposed to the power-and-achievement fantasies of men? How big a part of women's lives is devoted to thinking or daydreaming about sex? How much of sexual fantasizing le based on past experi-ences? How often, while making love, do women think of someone other than the person they are with? And what does this mean? Do women want their fantasies to come true?
