Textauszug

Over thirty-five years ago I called it My Secret Garden because collecting their fantasies was like listening to women whispering in my ear. I was hearing their deepest erotic secrets, in many cases desires they had not even told themselves until then. Still today, many women and men finish by saying, 'Thank you for letting me tell you.' I know precisely what they mean. There is something about putting sex into writing, almost as if we are taking it to the next level of reality, getting closer and closer to the flame. At the same time it is emboldening, as in: 'This is who am, who I really am! And look... the sky hasn't fallen, I haven't been ostracized from the family, and I feel more complete, whole, part of the human race.' Yes, I do believe that for many of us, accepting our erotic reveries opens a new consciousness in our lives. We don't have to act on the fantasies to feel this way: some, fully realized, would become nightmares. Nor share them with our partners: often, kept from them, they can be even more emboldening. It is thrilling just to own the creativity of our sexual imagination. Just as learning to drive opens new paths - emotionally as well as physically - so do our private sexual thoughts at any age, take us on ever-new trips, doors opening, horizons broadening.
