About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Want submitted by Anonymous, collected by Gillian Anderson. Read for you by Gillian Anderson and an anonymous cast of women.

What do you want when no one is watching?
Who do you fantasise about when the lights are off?
When you think about sex, what do you really want?

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 so many of us don’t talk about it at all.

In this ground-breaking book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous sexual fantasies of hundreds of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous fantasy). The fantasies are extraordinary: they are full of desire, fear, intimacy, shame, satisfaction and, ultimately, liberation. From fantasising about someone off-limits to conjuring a scene with multiple partners, from sex that is gentle and tender to passionate and playful, from women who have never had sex to women who have had more sex than they can remember, these letters provide a window into the most secret part of our minds.

Want reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally themselves.

The cast includes Georgina Sadler, Jessica Hayles, Amina Zia, Nicolette Chin, Beatriz Do O, Rachel Schwab, Kit Griffiths, Nicolette McKenzie and others who wished to remain anonymous.

Please note: This audiobook contains graphic adult content.

Critic reviews

Want makes for addictive reading . . . compelling (Guardian)

I found it to be a little tame in places. We are now many years on from the ground breaking Nancy Friday book, and yet it seems we’ve become more conservative.

Exceptional performances

I think audiobook was probably not the best way to read this. The limited range of voices that were quite distinct just didn’t suit the wildly different stories.
Loved the intro to each section & how they were divided.

Fascinating

I love these smouldering erotic stories - so hot! But whoever thought it was good idea for each writer to have to enter their annual income and children details is crazy. The chapter intros are also from the 1950s and are a total turn off. Such a shame as the stories are fabulous!

wonderful erotic stories

Great to see unapologetic tales of women's desire. However, it felt like it was running too long by the end and it started to lose its grip

Powerful, but runs long

Unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Extremely unique but often repetitive, all in all a lovely and exciting read.

Th embodiment of female empowerment

Not really what I thought it was going to be. I thought it would be more about feminism and power. The stories were good but a bit repetitive but enjoyed Gillian Anderson's introduction to each chapter would have liked this expanded. Overall enjoyed it.

Good for bedtime or on holiday

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Would have liked some diversity in the story selection, started to get a little boring with so many of them being similar.

Okay for a bedtime listen

It was real and amazing
