Men Men Men

This book is practically a lifetime of information on the opposite sex. I've learning so much from it that I look at people in a different way now. After reading this book, you will begin to wonder what people are really like in their privacy of their home and mind.I wouldn't say that this book is for everyone. Like many of these reviews say, there are some very disturbing fantasies, some may say that they are subhuman and degrading. But they're really not that hideous if you read them with an open mind. You will be speechless when you read some of the stories. You'll be surprised on what is actually going on in the minds of the men in the world. But it's all so interesting..Another thing about this book is that Nancy Friday does comment throughout it. Everything, especially in the beginning, that she says has something to do with Freud. I do not agree with Freud theories so I mostly skipped some of her comments, though she does make some significant points at times.It's an educational book. You will learn a lot and that knowledge may benefit you in the future. "We're more alike than different." Absolutely.

so good, so good

I have owned this book for years, and I still read parts of it on occasion. "My Secret Garden" and "Forbidden Flowers" made me rethink the way I look at women's sexual fantasies, and "Men in Love" made me rethink all I knew about men. I love this book because it reveals men's deepest desires without holding anything back. It's definitely not a book for everyone, though, and there are some parts that are disturbing. But then again, all of us have parts of ourselves we are embarrassed of, and the only way to move forward is by acknowledging these parts of ourselves and finding ways to deal.Another reason this book is fabulous is because of the way the chapters are broken down by subject. So you just pick a topic that seems interesting and go right to that chapter. (Hmmm...I feel like reading about bisexuals tonight) It's instant gratification. I've been a huge Nancy Friday fan for years, and this is my favorite book by her, although "Forbidden Flowers" is a close second. It helps remind you love is complicated and can be expressed in some unusual ways. And I also like the parts where Friday discusses the fantasies. I think it's intersting even if I don't always agree with her. She has some very Freudian interpretations of the fantasies, but without all of the sexism characteristic of Freud. An awesome and important book. Even if you find it disgusting or disagree with Friday, you'll definitely learn something new about men.

Truly Fascinating !

As a woman whom has read this authors works on women's fantasies I picked this book up. This book does reveal the difference between men and women's fantasies. I highly recommend this book and it will leave you fulfilled, maybe a little shocked, but truly content. This is a wonderful transom to the sexual thoughts and fantasies of men. If you ever thought you, or someone you know had fantasies that are unlike anyone else's, get a copy of this book. You will find some chapters to describe some things you never thought of, and then again you will find some chapters to describe you completely. This isn't a real easy read, but it truly is a read that will open your mind!

Men In Love

Back in the early 80's I read this book as an assignment for my psychology class. I don't know if this is an updated version or if it's what I origionally read. At the time I was tremendouly overwhelmed by the raw sexuality and the frank assement the men gave. I found it exhilirating and very sexy. I can still remember one that stands out amongst all the others "Vernon". I believe that this is a book every woman should read. I have my stored away for my daughters to read.

Eye-Opening

This book gives insite to what men are thinking and what they long for. It is a book about mem who are searching not only for themselves but for their soulmates. This is a must read for everyone, men and women.
