Fear of Fifty
Erica Jong
Authors:
Genres: Fiction
Sex Feminine sexual excitement can reach an intensity unknown to man. Male sexual excitement is keen but localized, and—except perhaps at the moment of orgasm—it leaves a man quite in possession of himself; woman, on the contrary, really loses her mind; for many this effect marks the definite and voluptuous moment of the love-affair, but it also has a magical and fearsome quality.
—Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex  Either we were a million perverts clutching our grimy handbooks in shame, or t
...hese sexual fantasies were as normal as apple pie.
—Susie Bright, Sexual Reality: A Virtual Sex World Reader  Women of any sense know better, after all these centuries, than to interrupt when men start telling them how they feel about sex.
—Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook   “I had a dream, which was not all a dream,” Byron said. And I, too, lived an idyll one perfect summer in my life. When people say “eros,” I know what they mean—though they may not. And when I need a fantasy to evoke the most passion a woman can bear, this is my reference point.
