And yet our culture has long been confused about sexual desire. It wasn't until 1996, according to The New York Times, that psychologists realized “most of the last 50 years of research on the subject has been blind to the true nature of women's erotic yearnings and sexuality.” In Garden of Desires: The Evolution of Women's Sexual Fantasies, author Emily Dubberley writes of a 1973 magazine article that stated, unsarcastically, “Women do not have sexual fantasies, period.
