Summary: Not as great as it could be
Comment: Buyer beware: there is a LOT of sex with animals in this book, and you're never warned ahead of time: the dogs just come out of nowhere and the average reader gets caught. I felt very guilty when I loaned this book to someone without warning her first and she was not pleased. I mean, don't get me wrong, fantasize about whatever you want...but this is not something I enjoyed reading about. While I admire and respect the concept of this book, it is also marred by Nancy Friday's hamhanded psychoanalysis. I frequently disagree with her theories and find that the best way to read this is to skip all that and jump right into the women's fantasies, some of which are really amazing. While the writers don't stand as representative of women in general (is such a thing possible?), I think the overall scope of the book is such that anyone- whatever sexuality, gender-identity, race, religion, or class- will find something of interest here, be it for education or arousal...and that's what a good book in this field should be, as far as I'm concerned. Negatives aside, I'd like to see a lot more of this out there. If Nerve.com and other such sites would focus less on commerce and big name authors we might start to see a change in the way Americans view sex...but I digress. Take a look at this one, but don't get your hopes too high.

Summary: A great book, but some of the fantasies -- YUCK!
Comment: I applaud Friday's guts to stand up to the prudish Prunellas and false feminists and write/publish this book. Her take on women's fantasies is on the mark.
That having been said: if you find the idea of sex with animals as utterly revolting and disgusting as I do, there are entire sections of this book you may wish to avoid. Many of her correspondents discuss not just fantasies about bestiality but actual experiences with it. These women seem to have no conscience, no guilt about committing what is nothing less than a form of rape. Would these women be so accepting of pedophilia? Or rape of the mentally disabled?
However, as Friday is writing about women's sexuality and fantasies, I think she has a right if not an obligation to tell the entire story. If women are fantasising about raping defenseless animals, that is part of the story, and she shouldn't leave it out.
Again, another top-notch piece of research by Friday, but not one the average person can read wit! h unmitigated pleasure.

Summary: A study that is both informative, and seductive
Comment: Nancy Friday has long written about women's sexuality, and here in _Women on Top_, she continues that tradition. Published in 1991, Friday discusses how the women's movement has affected the way women think and feel about sex, and goes into the relationship between how women think of themselves, and how they think about sex.
Drawing from many transcribed fantasies, written in each woman's own words, Friday breaks through cultural taboos unflinchingly, and offers a frank discussion. This book will please both academic and prurient interestt, and it may help readers feel more comfortable with their own sexuality and fantasies.
