I recently had the pleasure of interviewing the incredible René Moon, the author of the new book Her Guilty Confessions. 

When we first met earlier this year, René was just getting her ambitious project started: she aimed to interview women across the globe about their sexual fantasies and share their stories with others in her book. SDC was a perfect place for her to start collecting these erotic imaginings, and she began talking to women and couples in our community who were eager to share their stories. She wants to invite people to experience the liberation and excitement of reading others’ fantasies — especially so they can realize that their own fantasies are normal and shed any shame they’ve been carrying around about their sexuality and carnal desires. 

As a shameless fantasizer and adventurer myself, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of her book to share in their “saucy imaginings,” to borrow a term from René!

The women who’ve shared their deepest desires in Her Guilty Confessions — including the author herself — are from all over the world, of various cultures and religious backgrounds. Yet what we all share is that we enjoy fantasizing. And, as René herself will tell you in our interview, the themes of women’s fantasies are extremely diverse: from threesomes to voyeurism and exhibitionism, kink and the paranormal, and the list goes on and on. Our imaginations are limitless and can come up with some very creative and sensual scenarios that are infused with passion and empower us — even if we choose to keep our “guilty confessions” to ourselves…

The fantasies you’ll read in René Moon’s new book are raw, liberating, edgy, exciting, and above all, REAL, true stories from REAL, “everyday” women — just like René, and me, and you (or for you gents reading this, your girlfriends and your wives)! 

In my interview with René, we explored the types of fantasies you’ll find in her new book. We also chatted about the differences between women’s versus men’s sexual fantasies, how to normalize talking about fantasies and female sexuality, the multiple benefits of having fantasies, and much, much more.

Check out our interview here below to learn more about René and her sizzling new bestseller-to-be.

Lexi: I’m so glad we’re finally doing this, René! Let’s dive right in, shall we?

René: I’m so excited. Yes, let’s dive in! 

LS: What led you to create Her Guilty Confessions?

RM: I myself am a very high-strung woman. I found it hard to talk to people to explain to them that there's a lot of stuff on the TV. They romanticize a lot of things, but you don't actually get real life. And I just wanted to do something for women that was real life, normal everyday women and their everyday fantasies. And it's such a broad spectrum of things that turn people on and that they fantasize about — literally anything.

LS: Anything, everything, and sometimes… anyone!

RM: That’s all normal, isn’t it? And whether you wish to share it whether you wish to keep it within and just masturbate to it, or whether you wish to do it with a partner or even share it with girlfriends. You know, because us girls love nothing more than to sit and have a chin wag about fantasies and sex. [laughs] It's just something we enjoy doing as women, isn't it? 

LS: [laughs] Yes, I also love doing that! Do you think your book could be considered cutting-edge or controversial? I mean, look at all these women who are ready to be unleashed and ready to talk about sex. I really feel like it opens up a very interesting conversation with the girls. Maybe something for Book Club!

RM: [laughs] It really aligns and unites women around the world. 

LS: We are very sexual creatures, and we have needs and desires and passions, and we wanna feel desired… the center of desire, or being adjacent to someone else being desired. And your book celebrates that diversity, celebrates ourselves and our sexuality, and can empower others to do that, too. Can you share what kind of themes readers can look forward to in terms of the fantasies that these women have told you in your book?

RM: Oh, Lord, there's cuckold, there's hotwife, there's BBC, threesomes, foursomes, orgies, a couple of paranormal, and the list goes on!

LS: Ah, the power of our sensual imaginations, right? [laughs] And what about you? Are any of your fantasies in this book? 

RM: Yeah, I put one of mine in there, but I can’t say which one! I couldn’t write a book about other women if I’m not gonna contribute myself.

LS: Of course! I’m intrigued… will you give us any clues to look out for as we read through all these fantasies?!

RM: I love exhibitionism. I love being watched. One of my fantasies involves my partner watching me. And I also like dominating. So I won’t say which fantasy it is… but yeah, it’s juicy. 

LS: I know that Her Guilty Confessions was a labor of love — and lust! — for you. I know how hard you worked on this, how passionate you’ve been since the very beginning to open up these conversations for couples and for women, for men… you’re basically doing the international community a great service! 

RM: [laughs] I love that. You know, it’s amazing. I would get up in the morning. I would have a cup of tea and I would literally spend my day writing about fantasy. From the minute I got up to the minute I went to bed, and it has been constant. 

LS: Oh, well, that must have had benefits for your sexy imagination! 

RM: I have had to take time out here and there. I will admit, I mean, having read some of these excerpts, uh, I did too. I absolutely did, too. I had to get a new vibrator. Thank you very much for that, ladies. [laughs] The whole process has been exciting, from collecting fantasies from ladies to completing it; it's been absolutely fantastic. The people that have sent them in, they’re legends. 

LS: So, what did it feel like for you to talk to all these women about their sexy fantasies?

RM: Well, they were so open! I couldn't believe how open and honest they were. And they were all really excited. It was fantastic that they were all so liberated about sharing their fantasies. It was like somebody opened the door for them. To be able to share something that they may not have ever shared with anybody before. It may have been the first time that they’d ever even spoken about it. I was really, really flattered that so many women shared their hidden desires with me. 

LS: It’s amazing that they trusted you to do that! You mentioned how it was like opening a door for them to talk about their fantasies. In what ways is your book opening doors for women who haven’t yet talked about their fantasies?

RM: I think it's normalizing the world of fantasy. I think it’s brought us to the forefront of where women can read it and think, “Well, actually, my fantasy is not that off the wall. It’s very normal.” It normalizes things for them, and they don’t have to feel shame and they don’t have to feel embarrassment. It’s part of nature, as humans, something we do, regardless of gender. It’s a part of life, and I don’t think it should be hidden. I think you should be able to talk about it openly. It shouldn’t be a taboo. 

LS: Even just talking generally about female sexuality is still taboo. But male sexuality is not really viewed in that same light. 

RM: No, it’s not. My view is that women have held a role since time began as a mother and nurturer, the provider at home, and I think with that comes a veil of decency. Men don’t have that. A lot of women generally feel like we have to portray ourselves in a particular way, like as a lady. But we can be both a lady in the street, and a whore in the sheets — or kitchen, or bedroom, you know [laughs] — or anywhere.

LS: Yes, like that Madonna/Whore duality that women seem to be pushed into being categorized in one of those extremes. But it’s a double-edged sword because women are often shamed for aligning with being either a prude or a slut.

RM: I especially find it quite odd that a woman can shame another woman. Most humans fantasize. It can be a form of escapism, self-stimulation, a source of exploration. 

LS: Yes! Safe exploration in your imagination. 

RM: Yes, and it’s normal. Our desires are part of who we are, and so are our fantasies. It’s normal, and women who fantasize are normal. 

LS: Absolutely! So, who were these women who shared their fantasies with you? From what I gather, we’re talking about a wide range of women from all over the world, of different ages and cultures, who contributed their fantasies to your book. 

RM: Yes! I could not believe the countries around the world who were represented. I was also surprised by the amount of women who contacted me from very suppressed countries as well. Just proving that women are women worldwide. We have fantasies regardless of where we come from or our religious fortitude. The women who have taken part have been so brave. Their courage has been amazing. It was quite an eye-opener. 

LS: That really is amazing. So, in what ways was it an eye-opener for you?

RM: We’re very lucky in the Western world where we live. There are other countries where you just cannot do or say or act as we do… publicly, anyways, because it’s dangerous. But these women are the same as us; they still have the same needs, thoughts, fantasies, desires. 

LS: Some women — myself included — sometimes fantasize about things we’d never want to do, or even consider doing, in real life. What advice would you give to a woman feeling this way and wondering if she wants to express this fantasy to her partner?

RM: It depends on the couple, doesn't it? If they're comfortable with each other in everything else in life, other than the fantasy, that’s just like a guarded issue… then yes, why not share it with your partner? If you can share, you may be pleasantly surprised. It could add to your relationship and be a very positive thing. Fantasy has saved a lot of marriages and relationships. Partly because it can be a form of escapism? If it helps you get by in life, then so be it. 

LS: Even just sharing a fantasy is a very intimate thing and could really make you more connected if you’re already close and trust each other, and can really enhance your sex life. And what would you say for other types of couples? 

RM: IF you feel like your partner and you are not there yet at that comfort level, and you’re not ready to share, then it’s entirely up to you when — or if — you feel comfortable sharing. It’s your personal choice. You can keep it for yourself; that’s your prerogative to have your little fantasy. There are some fantasies you might want to share, and some are just for you. They're your guilty pleasures, you know, and if so, then why not?

LS: What do you want your readers to experience or feel when they're reading your book?

RM: I would like them to look through the eyes of the lady who's telling their tale and feel what she's feeling. Think what she's thinking. Be part of what she's telling. Because that's part of the fun, isn't it? I want them to be part of it. It’s so liberating. Enjoy it. It’s a fantasy. You're not hurting anybody. It's within the confines of your own mind, isn't it? The one place where you can truly be yourself and think as you want to think and do as you want to do. That’s yours. 

LS: If you're wondering about like, what would it be like to have my partner watch me have sex with someone else, and fantasize about it, then you can use your imagination as a tool to help you feel safer and more comfortable with the idea and see if you actually do want to try it in real life or if it's just a fantasy.

RM: There are so many options, so many options with fantasy. You can keep it to yourself, you can share it with your partner, you can share it with your friends. None of those options are wrong. If you are a gent reading this book, it can only give ideas of what really goes through ladies’ imaginations. And believe me, there are some very saucy mental wanderings!

LS: Yes! So these saucy mental wanderings that men are reading about women's desires, how do you think that might impact the way that men view female sexuality?

RM: It will most definitely make them think we're not just vessels. We have so many emotions and memories and feelings. And I think it would just enlighten them to the fact that their partner is probably a bit deeper than they anticipated. And maybe they'll think about that and take that on board, and that can only add to their relationship. Even if they don't choose to share their fantasies, they can talk about the broader concept of fantasy… and then move on to bigger things. Excuse the pun.

LS: All puns are always intended here! [laughs] There are lots of women out there who are open to the idea of having sex with somebody else with their partner or multiple people with their partner or watching their partner with someone else, or being watched by their partner with other people or someone else. And those are some very diverse fantasies that in, you know, monogamous life, are much more taboo. But there are lots of women who are reading this here on SDC and are curious about opening up their relationship, and maybe they don’t know how to talk to their partner about it yet. How do you believe these women can introduce the idea of opening up to their partner?

RM: Give them the book to read and work from there. It would enlighten their partner. It’s a good starting point. 

LS: It can prime those men to think outside the box and wonder, “What is my partner fantasizing about?” To show them the book and say, “What are your fantasies?”

RM: It’s a starting point, isn’t it? Sometimes, you just need a little push in the right direction. 

LS: Yes! Ask your partners, “What do you want? What do you fantasize about?” Your book really opens all of that up for a lot of couples.

RM: It’s unlimited. You could go anywhere with it.

LS: So, what's next for you after Her Guilty Confessions?

RM: I plan to do His Guilty Confessions and, for couples, Our Guilty Confessions. I aim to write about couples, invite them to send in their fantasies, and then tell their tales. I'm also writing a novel about witchcraft, so that’s something totally out of the box. 

LS: Ooh, how sexy is that one?! 

RM: Well, it's based on a local true story that really is amazing, and based on actual records.

LS: Wow, you have quite a lot in the pipeline! What did you learn about yourself and your sexuality as you created this book? And heard from so many other women?

RM: There are things that I would like to do now, through reading, writing, and retelling these fantasies, and my own fantasies, that there are a lot of things I would like to do, to try, and take part in. When I was younger, I used to feel a bit shameful about my thoughts and fantasies, but now I just can’t wait. I’m looking forward to the future and many more. 

LS: In your future, do you have more vibrators?! [laughs]

RM: [laughs] I would imagine. I think I may be buying shares! 

LS: You could get sponsored by a sex toy company and make a packaged deal with a vibrator and a copy of your book. 

RM: Well, I wouldn't turn that down!
