An instant New York Times bestseller, Want is a collection of confessions from women around the world. This revelatory, sensational and game-changing exploration of women's sexuality asks, and answers: How do women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous? What do women think about when they think about sex? What do they secretly desire? What do they want? For this bold and insightful book, inspired by Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden, Gillian Anderson collected the anonymous letters of hundreds of self-identifying women from around the world to gain a better understanding of women's deepest, most intimate fantasies and fears, the kind of things that usually remain locked away until someone comes along with the key. Gillian Anderson was just that person. In Want, she has carefully selected over a hundred of the best and most revealing of these erotically charged letters and arranged them for readers along with her own original essays. Here are women's secret fantasies for safety and acceptance, for two partners or three partners (or more), for all genders, for watching or being watched, for finding release in complete abandon or satisfaction in submission, and for encounters with strangers or with someone they know. Uninhibited and at times shocking, Want is a riotous portrait of women's imagination, need, and sexual diversity.

Hvad tænder dig, når lyset er slukket? Har du en hemmelig fantasi, du aldrig har delt med nogen? Hvad ville du fortælle, hvis du fik mulighed for at dele dine mest intime hemmeligheder anonymt? Når man taler om sex, taler man om kvindelighed og moderskab, samtykke og respekt, utroskab og udnyttelse, kærlighed og had, lyst og smerte. Men af en eller anden grund taler de færreste af os om sex. Vores mest intime fantasier forbliver gemt væk inde i os, indtil der er en, der kommer med nøglen. Her er nøglen. LYST er en banebrydende samling seksuelle fantasier fra kvinder over hele verden. Fra en sikhkvinde, der skriver om sit forbudte begær efter sin svoger, til en apachekvinde, som gerne vil tilbedes som et guddommeligt væsen. Fra en britisk kvinde, som bare gerne vil kysses ordentligt en sidste gang, til en jødisk kvinde bosat i Bangladesh, der fantaserer om et dørhåndtag, når hun skal nå sit klimaks. Det handler om konkrete fantasier, seksuelt begær i alle dets afskygninger, men også om menneskelige relationer og magt. Gillian Anderson har skrevet forord til bogen og læst anonyme breve fra tusindvis af kvinder over hele verden. Af dem har hun sammensat et udvalg, der tilsammen tegner et billede af den mangefacetterede kvindelige seksualitet. Og så har hun selvfølgelig også bidraget med sin egen fantasi – anonymt naturligvis. LYST afslører, hvad kvinder fantaserer om, når de kan være fuldstændig anonyme. Hvad tænder din lyst?

Mida sa tahad, kui keegi sind ei näe?Millest fantaseerid, kui tuled on kustus?Millisest seksist tõeliselt unistad?Kui räägime seksist, siis räägime ühtlasi naiseks olemisest ja emadusest, truudusetusest ja väärkohtlemisest, nõusolekust ja austusest, õiglusest ja võrdõiguslikkusest, armastusest ja vihast, mõnust ja valust. Aga nii paljud meist ei räägi sellest üldse.Armastatud näitleja Gillian Anderson on kogunud kokku sadu kirju ja tutvustab selles murrangulises raamatus anonüümseid seksuaalfantaasiaid naistelt üle kogu maailma (teiste hulgas ka tema enda anonüümne kiri). Need on kõik erakordsed - täis iha, intiimsust, rahuldust ja üle kõige vabadust.Unistad sa kellestki keelatust või kujutled end mitme partneriga? Eelistad sa õrna ja hoolivat seksi või ihaled kirglikku ja mängulist? Sõna saavad naised, kes pole kunagi seksinud, ja naised, kel on olnud rohkem partnereid, kui nad suudavad meenutada. Kõik need lood annavad võimaluse heita pilk naiste fantaasiate kõige salajasemasse ossa."Tahan" paljastab, mida naised seksist arvavad, kui neil on vabadus olla täiesti nemad ise.Gillian Anderson on auhinnatud filmi-, tele- ja teatrinäitleja, produtsent ja rezhissöör.

If Want unlocked the door, More throws it wide open.

From curiosity and longing to playfulness and liberation, this brand-new selection of intimate letters further explores what women everywhere think, feel and dream about in their most private moments – not just in the bedroom, but in all the spaces of their lives where desire flickers. Honest, unfiltered and profoundly human, More proves that the freedom for women to fantasise without limits is as vital and exhilarating as ever.
