Book Overview
An extraordinary, explicitly masculine journey, Men In Love develops a startlingly honest portrayal of what it means to be a man in contemporary America. Here are the unexpurgated dreams, fantasies and fetishes that excite and obsess men today. In creating this historic study, Nancy Friday listened -- without disapproval, apology or censorship -- to the candid responses of thousands of men aged fourteen through sixty. She gave them a legitimate arena where they could share their "secret gardens" -- the hidden and forbidden but nonetheless real and true. Much more than a litany of erotica, this unique volume doesn't tell us how men should love. It tells us how men do love -- a stunning insight into the desires that dwell within men's psyches... and their hearts.

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.
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!

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.
