  Have a copy of my secret garden, bought it for the wife, and have read it myself.There are some incredibly raunchy fantasies therein. It kind of changed my opinion of females. Cheers N

  If this Nancy is such a "classic" writer, a) why has nobody else replied to your topic, and b) why isn't she ever mentioned along with the likes of Pauline Reage, the Bronte Sisters, Sylvia Plath, Jane Austin et cetera? I like the lesser knowns like Melissa Febos, Sophie Morgan et cetera, but for true stories they sure as hell stink of fiction to me and I'd never call them classics by a cervical mile. Belle Du Jour, Nikki Stern even.... and correct me if I'm wrong here sir, but doesn't an author have to be dead for the longest time to even be considered for "classic" status? I.e. Sir Francis Galton, Huxley, Orwell, Dickens even... even if he is dry like decade old dog biscuits. Thompson, Buckowski, Hemingway... the list goes on sir Joseph Conrad, Josef Mengele even.... though good luck trying to find a copy of "Michael", the surviving copies have to be worth an absolute tontine by now. Nancy Friday is probably closer to modern contemporary than classic, particularly with that bloody horrible pen name. She sounds like some bizarre combo of a Nancy Drew novel and a song by The Cure. Tell me sir, as someone who reads, what passes for classic these days.... Fifty Shades of Grey, verbose garbage? or perhaps the lesser stylings of Dick T. Gear, or even Kelly Haven, if you've been on amazon kindle recently. One could say it is the ultimate "self-pleasuring resource" as self-publishing nowadays has become little more than the literary masturbations of some frustrated and inevitably bitter man-hating housewife with delusions of talent for the bargain basement price of 99 cents or less for some flowery masturbatory aide that spans less than 3,000 words. Or it could just be some middle aged guy, masquerading as a woman in the hopes of getting sales based on an author photo nicked from some stock photo website. Sad isn't it?

  I have had that book for years and years. Maybe 20 I think? Horny stuff and shows how kinky women can be! Haven't read My Secret Garden. I wonder if you can say in general that women would be more sexually adventurous then men? Is that why religion has always tried to kill women's libido?
