Want
Sexual Fantasies by Anonymous
What do you want when no one is watching?
What do you want, when the lights are off?
What do you want, when you are anonymous?
When we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet so many of us don't talk about it at all.
In this groundbreaking book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous sexual fantasies of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous submission). They are all extraordinary: full of desire, fear, intimacy, shame, satisfaction and, ultimately, liberation. From dreaming about someone off-limits to conjuring a scene with multiple partners, from sex that is gentle and tender to passionate and playful, from women who have never had sex to women who have had more sex than they can remember, these fantasies provide a window into the most secret part of our minds.

Want is an intriguing cabinet of curiosities showcasing the sheer glorious variety of female desire; at a time when women's freedom of expression and agency is under threat in so many places, any platform that allows us to speak up about an aspect of our lives that is still frequently veiled in shame is to be applauded ― Observer

Queen of the bisexuals Gillian Anderson, aka Mother, aka the woman we all either want to be, or be with, or both - has just dropped arguably the hottest new book of the year (in more ways than one) ― Pink News
You might have the same question I did: Would a book loosely patterned on an erotic bestseller published 50 years ago feel relevant in an age when every manner of sexual imagery and performance, real-life hookups and kink are available in the palm of our hands (so to speak) with a swipe, tap or text? The answer is a definitive yes ― Washington Post
Trailblazing . . . what makes Want even more innovative is its inclusivity, with letters from queer women, trans women and non-binary people. ― Gay Times About the Author Gillian Anderson is an award-winning film, television and theatre actor.
