[Kya Caprese · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a super interesting book. Maltz & Boss don't shy from being entirely real about the fantasies shared by their sample of ordinary women in the 1990s. The authors take a somewhat more psychoanalytic approach than what is common in research psychology today. This made me uncomfortable at first, but I've come to understand that things like sexual fantasies are not easily explainable by more scientifically verifiable theoretical frameworks. Sexual fantasies are so tied up in subjective symbolism and relational schemas that it becomes difficult for the tools of science we have currently to explain them.

I came across this book while doing some background research in sexology in order to better understand the debate in the field of "Autogynephilia" and its relevance to trans women. I won't get into that debate here, but what I'll say is that if you are getting into that topic, reading this book is a great way to get some qualitative background on ordinary sexual fantasies among women. You need this kind of background if you want to properly compare and contrast the sexual fantasies of trans women, to determine whether their fantasies represent some paraphilia or merely ordinarily female sexuality within a natal male. I feel a lot of the sexologists and sexology amateurs studying this topic lack background information on female sexuality, and it leads to quite a bit of folly. If you are interested in the topic of Autogynephilia from a qualitative testimony-drive perspective, I would recommend reading "Men Trapped in Men's Bodies" by Anne Lawrence and then reading this book alongside it as a companion for maximal context.

Helped me to understand how the dominant culture, family values/behavior, etc. influence sexual fantasy for women.
