About this listen

A collection of confessions from women around the world, Want is a revelatory, sensational and game-changing exploration of women’s sexuality that asks, and answers: How do women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous?

What do you want, when no one is watching?
What do you want, when the lights are off?
What do you want, when you are anonymous?

When we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet for many reasons—some complicated, some not—so many of us don’t talk about it. Our deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of us, until someone comes along with the key.

Here’s the key.

In this generation-defining book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous letters of hundreds of self-identifying women from around the world (along with her own anonymous letter).

From a Sikh woman who writes about her secret lust for her brother-in-law, an Apache American woman who wants to be worshipped like a divine creature, a white British woman who just wants to be properly kissed one last time, another who likes to role play as a panther, or a Hispanic Jewish woman living in Bangladesh, for whom the pinnacle of sexual arousal is a doorknob, Want reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous.

Review

Loved the subject. I felt a few of the readings did not do the letters justice.

Gillian goes over the top

Lots of variety, some of it titillating some of it not (personal preferences acknowledged), but the one thing I couldn't understand was why Gillian Anderson felt the need to do her narration in overwrought, gushy whispers. She sounds like she's trying too hard to sound *sexy* and it comes off as cringey and cloying. All the other narrators approach their bits straightforwardly and trust the words to deliver the impact. But Gillian's breathy, pseudo-sultry introductions and preludes sound like they're from another production, audio brought to you by Pornhub. That aside, it was a great idea to update Nancy Friday's groundbreaking work for the 21st century.

Authenticity

The vulnerability expressed aroused me as much as a single word written. I cannot recommend highly enough. 🥰
