Private Thoughts provides more than just these women's fantasies, however. It combines new research with the advice of a seasoned sex therapist. The result is an exciting contribution to the field of sexuality. Drawing insights from Wendy's research and advice from her clinical experience as a sex therapist, the book gently guides women to explore their own fantasy style and to recognize the origins of their fantasies. It gives women permission to enjoy their fantasies while also helping them to recognize how some fantasies may be masking emotional pain, which could be detrimental to them and to their relationships.
In this wonderful book, two unique women, Wendy Maltz and Suzie Boss, combine their talents as sex therapist and writer to explore women's sexual fantasies. Private Thoughts provides validation for millions of women who may worry and wonder if they are normal, if they are the only ones who experience sexual fantasies, and if their fantasies could enhance or improve their sexual lives. The book is filled with stories shared by the more than one hundred women they personally interviewed.
