Exploring the dynamics of healthy sexual fantasies
Sexual fantasies are a normal part of human sexuality. Fantasies can be a way to explore sexual desire and can be a source of sexual arousal. Fantasies can be very private or they can be shared with a partner. Many people have sexual fantasies that they never act on.
There are many different types of sexual fantasies. Some people fantasize about having sex with a specific person, such as a celebrity or someone they know. Others fantasize about having sex in a specific place, such as in a public setting or in an unusual location. Some people fantasize about having sex with multiple partners, while others fantasize about being watched or observing others having sex.
Some commonly reported sexual fantasies include:
- Having sex in an unusual or public place
- Being dominated or submissive
- Having sex with a stranger
- Having multiple partners
- Experiencing different types of sex, such as anal or bondage
- Acting out a rape fantasy
- Observing others having sex
- Broadening our understanding of normal desire
We all have sexual fantasies. And that’s normal. In fact, sexual fantasies are a healthy part of our sex lives. They help us explore our sexuality and learn more about what we like.
But sometimes, our sexual fantasies can be a little… out there. And that’s OK, too. Here are seven sexual fantasies that are totally normal:
1. Fantasizing about someone other than your partner. It’s totally normal to fantasize about someone other than your partner. In fact, it can even be a good thing. Fantasizing about someone else can help you spice up your sex life with your partner. Just make sure you don’t act on your fantasy (unless, of course, you both agree to it).
2. Fantasizing about having sex in public. The thrill of getting caught is a common fantasy for many people. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Just be sure to keep it safe and consensual if you decide to act on this fantasy.
3. Fantasizing about BDSM or kinkier sex. BDSM and kinkier sex is more popular than ever thanks to books like Fifty Shades of Grey. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to try it out in real life (with the proper safety precautions, of course).
4. Fantasizing about group sex or threesomes. Group sex is another popular fantasy, and there’s nothing wrong with wanting to try it out (again, with the proper safety precautions). Just make sure everyone involved is on the same page before you take the plunge.
5. Fantasizing about being submissive or dominant in bed. Many people have fantasies about being submissive or dominant in bed. And there’s nothing wrong with that either! If you want to act on this fantasy, just make sure everyone involved is comfortable with it first.
6. Fantasizing about having sex with a celebrity or fictional character. Celebrities and fictional characters are often the subject of sexual fantasies for many people. Again, there’s nothing wrong with this fantasy as long as you don’t act on it (unless the celebrity or fictional character consents, of course).
7. Fantasizing about something else entirely… Whatever your fantasy may be, know that it’s probably totally normal — even if it seems a little out there at first glance. Sexual fantasies are a healthy part of our sexuality, so don’t be afraid to explore them!

6. Fantasising about being an object of desire: This fantasy can be about feeling wanted and desired, or enjoying the idea of being used purely for someone else’s sexual pleasure.
7. Fantasising about having sex with a celebrity: This is another very common fantasy, as it allows us to fantasise about being with someone who is unattainable in real life.
