Fantasies

Another one of the workshops I attended at AASECT was on fantasies. It's a fasinating subject because fantasies exist in an individual's very private, subterranean world and are frequently unshared, even with a sexual partner. Many people wonder if their fantasies are 'normal', especially if the content is something they would never want to enact in real life. Others wonder if fantasizing about someone other than their partner during sex means that their relationship is in trouble - or even if it's a form of infidelity.

Though fantasies can provide a great deal of pleasure, they are also a source of guilt and anxiety. Next week I'll be posting on some of the perplexing questions posed by fantasy.

Have a great holiday weekend! I'll be back on Tuesday.
