Fantasies help us to better understand our own sexual preferences and desires. Sexual fantasies take place only in the imagination - and there you can not be afraid of morality, permission or rules. They also give a sense of security: you know that this will never happen.

Fantasies also stimulate the physiological component of arousal, which increases sexual pleasure.

How Do Fantasies Appear?

Sexual fantasies can include real or fictional characters with attractive appearance, behavior, and status. It can also be a character trait or social status that attracts your attention. In a sexual fantasy, we can get all this and even more in order to experience pleasant emotions - as if it really happened.

Fantasies can arise from the desire for something new and unexplored. We can fantasize about someone to experience new sensations and emotions. So you can improve your relationship because it is our rich imagination that can give a feeling of freedom and novelty in a pair - especially if this is not enough in real life.

Even if you are not going to change anything in your life and cheat, an affair on the side in your imagination is the fruit of the work of your subconscious, which can reflect hidden thoughts, secret desires, and unfulfilled dreams.

Erotic fantasies can be the key to understanding what exactly is missing in real life. Sexual fantasies can highlight moments that are worth changing. They can talk about the desire for control and more power, or vice versa - about the presence of shame and guilt in sex life.

Is This Normal?

Erotic fantasies are not yet actions, so you have the right to any fantasies, even those that are considered socially unacceptable.

Various scenarios can be played out in our imagination. If they cause joy and excitement, then they can help diversify sex life, understand their desires and get what they want.

If fantasies scare you, or cause feelings of guilt or anxiety - you can deal with this with the support of a mental health specialist. Take care of yourself.
