Anyone who has read Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden, the classic book on female sexual fantasies, has a different picture of what varied and imaginative sexual fantasies that women are capable of having. Personally, I think if society were to give women free rein-which approximates what we are doing now-the fantasy gap would largely disappear. Other researchers have noted that girls are much less likely to masturbate than boys and so they are less likely to create fantasies that help build and sustain arousal to orgasm. Some experts feel that women's sexual imaginations have been so effectively criticized as "unnatural" that many women edit themselves by not allowing fantasies at all. Many sex researchers have noted the fantasy gap and wondered why it exists. For example, 45 percent of men and just 8 percent of women say they have erotic thoughts once or more each day. Men are more than five times as likely as women to say they have such thoughts. In the recent AARP Sex, Romance, and Relationships survey, we found out that 25 percent of you have sexy thoughts or erotic dreams at least once a day, with 16 percent having them more than once a day.
