Actress Gillian Anderson (56) has collected women’s sexual fantasies for a new book. A year and a half ago, she called on women to submit their erotic ideas anonymously – now a selection of the letters has been published in the book “Want”. In total, she received letters totaling almost 1,000 pages, Anderson writes in the foreword to the collection of texts.
“I was surprised that even today, many women keep their fantasies to themselves. Some are strong, proud and confident and celebrate their sexual power, but many also feel shame and guilt because they crave satisfaction and fulfillment through sex,” explains Anderson.
“New dialogue about women’s sexual power”
The actress, who comes from the USA and lives in London, became known through the mystery series “The X-Files”. Since then, she has filmed numerous projects, such as the series “Sex Education”, in which she plays a sex therapist.
In our society, women are often pigeonholed and reduced to certain identities and roles, writes Anderson, “but the fantasies gathered here prove that no woman has just one identity.” If she could hope for one thing from the book, it would be to provide food for thought “so that we can enter into a new dialogue about the sexual power of women.”
