Anything that may give rise to sexual arousal may also produce a sexual fantasy, and sexual arousal may in turn give rise to fantasies. Sexual fantasies are nearly universal,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeitenbergHenning1995-2">[2]</a> being reported in many societies across the globe. However, because of the nature of some fantasies, the actual putting of such fantasies into action is far less common, due to cultural, social, moral, and religious constraints.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> In some cases, even a discussion by a person of sexual fantasies is subject to social <a href="/wiki/Taboo" title="Taboo">taboos</a> and <a href="/wiki/Social_inhibition" title="Social inhibition">inhibitions</a>. Some people find it convenient to act out fantasies through <a href="/wiki/Sexual_roleplay" title="Sexual roleplay">sexual roleplay</a>. A fantasy may be a positive or negative experience, or even both. It may be in response to a past experience and can influence future sexual behavior. A person may not wish to enact a sexual fantasy in real life, and since the process is entirely imaginary, they are not limited to acceptable or practical fantasies, which can provide information on the psychological processes behind <a href="/wiki/Sexual_behavior" class="mw-redirect" title="Sexual behavior">sexual behavior</a>. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_art">In art</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_fantasy&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: In art">edit</a>]</div> Sexual fantasy can also pertain to a <a href="/wiki/Genre" title="Genre">genre</a> of literature, film or work of art. Such works may be appreciated for their <a href="/wiki/Aesthetics" title="Aesthetics">aesthetics</a>, though many people may feel uncomfortable with such works. For example, <a href="/wiki/Women_in_prison_film" title="Women in prison film">women in prison films</a> may be described as sexual fantasies. A person may find validation of a sexual fantasy by viewing the depiction or discussion of a sexual fantasy in film, usually of a <a href="/wiki/Pornographic_film" title="Pornographic film">pornographic nature</a>. In the case of films, the term may describe a part of the film, such as a fantasy scene or sequence. Besides pornographic films, a number of mainstream films have included sexual fantasy scenes, such as <a href="/wiki/Business_Is_Business_(1971_film)" title="Business Is Business (1971 film)">Business Is Business</a> (1971), <a href="/wiki/Amarcord" title="Amarcord">Amarcord</a> (1973), <a href="/wiki/American_Beauty_(1999_film)" title="American Beauty (1999 film)">American Beauty</a> (1999) and others. In many cases, the use of fantasy scenes enables the inclusion of material into a work indicating the sexualized mental state of a character. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Methodology">Methodology</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_fantasy&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Methodology">edit</a>]</div> It is difficult to objectively identify and measure the nature of sexual fantasies, so that many studies deal with conscious fantasies when a person is awake, using one of three techniques:<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeitenbergHenning1995470-1">[1]</a> <ul><li>anonymous respondents are provided with a checklist of fantasies and asking them to indicate which ones they have experienced, how often, and in what context. This method relies on <a href="/wiki/Retrospective" title="Retrospective">retrospective</a> recall, which may limit its accuracy. A checklist may not be comprehensive, and as a result may be biased towards some fantasies.</li> <li>anonymous respondents are asked to write, in narrative form, their sexual fantasies. This method also relies on retrospective recall. Some studies limit the number of fantasies entered (such as only the most frequent ones), and respondents may not write down all of their fantasies anyway—they may forget infrequent fantasies, not want to write too many down, or be more subject to <a href="/wiki/Social_desirability_bias" class="mw-redirect" title="Social desirability bias">social desirability bias</a> than with a checklist.</li> <li>respondents record the fantasies they experience over a given period of time using checklists or diaries. This method requires a long period of time to be representative, and may be impractical.</li></ul> To measure the reliability of a person's reporting of fantasies, researchers may compare a person's reported sexual arousal against actual measures of arousal,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHeiman1977271-4">[4]</a> using techniques such as vaginal <a href="/wiki/Photoplethysmograph" class="mw-redirect" title="Photoplethysmograph">photoplethysmography</a>, penile <a href="/wiki/Strain_gauge" title="Strain gauge">strain gauges</a>, or other tools, such as genital <a href="/wiki/Pulse" title="Pulse">pulse</a> amplitude, genital <a href="/wiki/Blood_volume" title="Blood volume">blood volume</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Heart_rate" title="Heart rate">heart rate</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHeiman1977266-5">[5]</a> A 1977 study found that males judged arousal based on blood volume far better than females, and that males and females were equal when judging arousal based on pulse amplitude measures.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHeiman1977271–272-6">[6]</a> Additionally, females were better at judging low arousal.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHeiman1977272-7">[7]</a> As with studies of sex in general, samples used in studies may be too small, not be fully random, or not fully representative of a population. This makes similarities between studies especially important.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeitenbergHenning1995470-1">[1]</a> Women may be prone to underreporting the frequency of fantasy because they do not realize that they are becoming aroused, or they will not say that they are; one common problem is that they will imagine romantic imagery and become aroused, but not report the fantasy because it is not sexually explicit.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeitenbergHenning1995475-8">[8]</a> Many studies are modern and are carried out in Western society, which, through factors like <a href="/wiki/Gender_roles" class="mw-redirect" title="Gender roles">gender roles</a> and <a href="/wiki/Taboo" title="Taboo">taboo</a>, are not widely representative, raising the need for more studies in different societies and historical eras.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeitenbergHenning1995491-9">[9]</a> With regards to age, there is very little knowledge of sexual fantasies in children aged 5 to 12, and there is a need for <a href="/wiki/Longitudinal_study" title="Longitudinal study">longitudinal studies</a> across a life span.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeitenbergHenning1995491-9">[9]</a> Sex is often a taboo topic, so conducting a truly honest and representative example can be difficult in some areas. For example, a 1997 study on <a href="/wiki/South_Asia" title="South Asia">South Asian</a> gay men found that almost 75% were afraid of being "found <a href="/wiki/Out_(LGBT)" class="mw-redirect" title="Out (LGBT)">out</a>", which complicates studies.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBhugraRahmanBhintade2006206-10">[10]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Purposes">Purposes</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_fantasy&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Purposes">edit</a>]</div> The scenarios for sexual fantasies vary greatly between individuals and are influenced by personal desires and experiences, and can range from the mundane to the bizarre.

In this sense, researchers assert that fantasizing about extra-marital, or multiple-partner sex is positively correlated with long-term partnerships. As such, sexual fantasies are viewed as means to combat sexual dissatisfaction.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Sexual fantasising may also be used to settle relational hardships, as opposed to sexual dissatisfaction. For instance, women from disturbed marriages were found to fantasise significantly more often than happily married women.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> Creating hypothetical scenarios may be used as a coping mechanism, particularly by women, in handling stress and discomfort. As such, fantasies allow individuals to enter a new realm (e.g. experience a position of power, innocence, or guilt) that contrasts the source of anguish, and enhances feelings of self-worth. The purpose and function of sexual fantasies are explained rather differently from an evolutionary perspective. Bowlby's (1969/1982) <a href="/wiki/Attachment_theory" title="Attachment theory">attachment theory</a> asserts that the absence of adequate attachment figures can devastate self-esteem.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> It is suggested that more anxiously attached individuals use sex to attain emotional security. Accordingly, they might engage in sex through a longing for sexual intimacy, and increase the frequency of sexual behavior under conditions that challenge the status of their relationship.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> Contrastingly, the avoidant attachment type is apprehensive about the intimacy posed by sexual relations, and will take active measures to avoid feelings of closeness. Patterns of sexual behavior include emotion free sex with casual partners, engaging in sex to promote oneself, and feelings of detachment during intercourse.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Sexual fantasies are likely to follow attachment-related themes. It is noted that anxious attachment individuals report significantly more instances of sexual fantasizing, and portray the self as feeble, dependable and powerless.<a href="#cite_note-:25-23">[23]</a> Avoidant attachment types report fantasies in which relationships are regarded as cold, unfeeling and impersonal. As such, sexual fantasies serve the primary function of fulfilling interpersonal goals through the mode of mental representation. Evolutionary theory provides another interesting explanation as to the purpose and function of gender differences in sexual fantasies. Research literature states that women are more likely to prioritize their own physical and emotional sensations, where men conjure images of sexual partners. Women are also more likely to fantasize about a single individual with whom they have shared history, or those whom they wish to pursue a long-term relationship.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Throughout the course of time, it has proved advantageous for the male to copulate with young and fertile females. They evolved an ability to decipher "fresh features" of reproductive partners; clear skin, thick hair, fuller lips, and so forth. By comparison, females are driven to reproduce on the basis of parental investment, and a quality gene pool possessed by the male.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> From a female perspective, the risks of copulating with multiple male partners far outweigh any potential benefits.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> It is therefore unsurprising that males visualize specific physical features; its origins and purpose can be found in evolution. It also follows that where males project outwardly, viewing women and a means to obtain sexual pleasure, women have become conditioned to remain passive in this role. They do so under close scrutiny of male sexual attention,<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> to fantasize a specific and special partner. A person may have no desire to carry out a fantasy; people often use fantasies to help plan out future sexual encounters.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson19789-28">[28]</a> Fantasies occur in all individuals and at any time of the day, although it has been suggested that they are more common among frequent daydreamers.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson197829-29">[29]</a> Sexual fantasy is frequent during <a href="/wiki/Masturbation" title="Masturbation">masturbation</a>,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERathusNevidFichner-RathusHerold2005206-30">[30]</a> although this may be truer for men than for women.<a href="#cite_note-Leitenberg_and_Henning-31">[a]</a> During sexual contact, some people can use their fantasies to "turn off" undesirable aspects of an act.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFisher1989275-32">[31]</a> Conversely, a person may use fantasy to focus and maintain arousal, such as a man receiving <a href="/wiki/Fellatio" title="Fellatio">fellatio</a> ignoring a distraction.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFisher1989274-33">[32]</a> Men tend to be aware of only parts of themselves during sex—they are more likely to focus on the physical stimulation of one area, and as such, do not see themselves as a "whole".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFisher1989151-34">[33]</a> Many couples share their fantasies to feel closer and gain more intimacy and trust, or simply to become more aroused or effect a more powerful physical response.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEScott1994163-12">[12]</a> Some couples share fantasies as a form of <a href="/wiki/Non-penetrative_sex" title="Non-penetrative sex">outercourse</a>;<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERathusNevidFichner-RathusHerold2005463-35">[34]</a> this has been offered as an explanation for the rise of <a href="/wiki/BDSM" title="BDSM">BDSM</a> during the 1980s — in order to avoid contracting <a href="/wiki/HIV" title="HIV">HIV</a>, people turned to BDSM as a safe outlet for sexual fantasy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEScott1994157-36">[35]</a> Couples may also act out their fantasies through <a href="/wiki/Sexual_roleplay" title="Sexual roleplay">sexual roleplay</a>.

fantasies originate from. Men tend to fantasize about past sexual experiences, whereas women are more likely to conjure an imaginary lover or sexual encounter that they have not experienced previously.<a href="#cite_note-43">[42]</a> Male fantasies tend to focus more on visual imagery and explicit anatomic detail, with men being more interested in visual <a href="/wiki/Sexual_stimulation" title="Sexual stimulation">sexual stimulation</a> and fantasies about <a href="/wiki/Casual_sex" title="Casual sex">casual sex</a> encounters, regardless of <a href="/wiki/Sexual_orientation" title="Sexual orientation">sexual orientation</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBhugraRahmanBhintade2006198-44">[43]</a> On the other hand, women's fantasies tend to be more focused upon mental sexual stimulation and contain more emotion and connection.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJoyalCossetteLapierre2015-40">[39]</a> Thus, women are more likely to report romantic sexual fantasies that are high in intimacy and affection,<a href="#cite_note-45">[44]</a> for instance associating their male partner with heroism and viewing them as chivalric rescuers.<a href="#cite_note-46">[45]</a> <a href="/wiki/Sociobiology" title="Sociobiology">Evolutionary theory</a> offers an explanation for this finding, such that women may be likely to show commitment to their male partner in return for his investment of resources to help raise her offspring, thus increasing offspring chance of survival.<a href="#cite_note-47">[46]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Types_of_sexual_fantasies">Types of sexual fantasies</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_fantasy&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Types of sexual fantasies">edit</a>]</div> Much research has been conducted which has highlighted several gender differences in sexual fantasies. Some of the patterns which have frequently emerged include men's greater tendency to report sexual fantasies falling in the following categories: exploratory, intimate, impersonal, and <a href="/wiki/Sadomasochism" title="Sadomasochism">sadomasochism</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:0-48">[47]</a> Exploratory fantasies include those of homosexual encounters and <a href="/wiki/Group_sex" title="Group sex">group sex</a>, whilst fantasies of watching others engage in sexual intercourse and <a href="/wiki/Sexual_fetishism" title="Sexual fetishism">fetishism</a> are classed as impersonal sexual fantasies. Women are also likely to report fantasies involving the same-sex partner, or those with a famous person,<a href="#cite_note-:1-49">[48]</a> although both sexes have been found to prefer intimate fantasies over the other three types outlined, including fantasies of <a href="/wiki/Oral_sex" title="Oral sex">oral sex</a> and <a href="/wiki/Public_sex" title="Public sex">sex outdoors</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:0-48">[47]</a><figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cornelis_van_Haarlem_Before_the_Deluge.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Cornelis_van_Haarlem_Before_the_Deluge.jpg/276px-Cornelis_van_Haarlem_Before_the_Deluge.jpg" decoding="async" width="276" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Cornelis_van_Haarlem_Before_the_Deluge.jpg/414px-Cornelis_van_Haarlem_Before_the_Deluge.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Cornelis_van_Haarlem_Before_the_Deluge.jpg/552px-Cornelis_van_Haarlem_Before_the_Deluge.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="615" /></a><figcaption>An artistic depiction of <a href="/wiki/Group_sex" title="Group sex">group sex</a>; a sexual fantasy found to be more common in males. </figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Frequent_themes">Frequent themes</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_fantasy&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Frequent themes">edit</a>]</div> Another way the sexes differ is that men are much more likely to fantasize about having multiple sexual partners (i.e., having threesomes or <a href="/wiki/Orgy" title="Orgy">orgies</a>) compared to women<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJoyalCossetteLapierre2015-40">[39]</a> and seek greater partner variation in their sexual fantasies.<a href="#cite_note-:2-50">[49]</a> <a href="/wiki/Sociobiology" title="Sociobiology">Evolutionary theory</a> suggests that this may be due to men's capacity to produce many offspring at any one time by impregnating multiple females, and thus predicts that males will be much more open to the concept of multiple partnerships in order to increase reproductive success and continue their genetic line.<a href="#cite_note-:1-49">[48]</a> The sexes also differ in terms of how much they fantasize about dominance and submission. Men fantasize about dominance much more frequently than submission,<a href="#cite_note-51">[50]</a> whereas women fantasize about submission much more frequently than dominance.<a href="#cite_note-52">[51]</a> Despite these differences, most individuals do not conform to these <a href="/wiki/Gender_role" title="Gender role">gendered sexual stereotypes</a>, and that male sexuality is not innately aggressive, nor is female sexuality inherently passive, and that these stereotypes may decline with age.<a href="#cite_note-:2-50">[49]</a> Sexual fantasies may instead vary as a result of individual differences, such as personality or learning experiences, and not gender per se.<a href="#cite_note-53">[52]</a> Indeed, it has been suggested that gender differences in sexual fantasies have actually narrowed over time, and may continue to do so, for example with regard to variety of sexual fantasy and the amount of fantasizing reported by each of the sexes.<a href="#cite_note-:4-54">[53]</a> <table class="wikitable sortable"> <caption>Table 2.

Males are likely to report this at a younger age, typically between the years of 11 and 13,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeitenbergHenning1995-2">[2]</a> and describe these as being more explicit in content.<a href="#cite_note-:3-55">[54]</a> Themes that were common to both genders regarding first sexual fantasies included sex with celebrities (such as <a href="/wiki/Movie_star" title="Movie star">movie stars</a>), and also teachers.<a href="#cite_note-:3-55">[54]</a> It has been noted that sexual fantasy preferences of the two genders also change as a function of age. For instance, younger men have been found to endorse more fantasies with multiple partners, a trend which declines with age, whilst homosexual fantasies increase slightly. Meanwhile, for women, fantasies with strangers and same-sex partners remain relatively stable across their lifetime.<a href="#cite_note-:1-49">[48]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Paraphilic_sexual_fantasies">Paraphilic sexual fantasies</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_fantasy&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Paraphilic sexual fantasies">edit</a>]</div> Sex differences have also been found with regard to <a href="/wiki/Paraphilia" title="Paraphilia">paraphilic fantasies</a> (i.e. those which are considered to be atypical). Examples of paraphilic sexual fantasies include <a href="/wiki/Incest" title="Incest">incest</a>, <a href="/wiki/Voyeurism" title="Voyeurism">voyeurism</a>, <a href="/wiki/Transvestic_fetishism" title="Transvestic fetishism">transvestic fetishism</a>, sex with animals (see <a href="/wiki/Zoophilia" title="Zoophilia">zoophilia</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Pedophilia" title="Pedophilia">pedophilia</a>.

The moral acceptance and formal study of sexual fantasy in <a href="/wiki/Western_culture" title="Western culture">Western culture</a> is relatively new. Prior to their acceptance, sexual fantasies were seen as evil or sinful, and they were commonly seen as horrid thoughts planted into the minds of people by "agents of the devil".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERathusNevidFichner-RathusHerold2005225-74">[73]</a> Even when <a href="/wiki/Psychologist" title="Psychologist">psychologists</a> were willing to accept and study fantasies, they showed little understanding and went so far as to diagnose sexual fantasies in females as a sign of <a href="/wiki/Female_hysteria" title="Female hysteria">hysteria</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEScott1994153-11">[11]</a> Prior to the early twentieth century, many experts viewed sexual fantasy (particularly in females) as abnormal. <a href="/wiki/Sigmund_Freud" title="Sigmund Freud">Sigmund Freud</a> suggested that those who experienced sexual fantasies were sexually deprived or frustrated or that they lacked adequate sexual stimulation and satisfaction.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrostino20069-75">[74]</a> Over several decades, sexual fantasies became more acceptable as notable works and compilations, such as "Morality, Sexual Facts and Fantasies", by Dr Patricia Petersen, <a href="/wiki/Alfred_Kinsey" title="Alfred Kinsey">Alfred Kinsey's</a> <a href="/wiki/Kinsey_Reports" title="Kinsey Reports">Kinsey Reports</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Erotic_Fantasies:_A_Study_of_the_Sexual_Imagination&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Erotic Fantasies: A Study of the Sexual Imagination (page does not exist)">Erotic Fantasies: A Study of the Sexual Imagination</a> by <a href="/wiki/Eberhard_and_Phyllis_Kronhausen" title="Eberhard and Phyllis Kronhausen">Phyllis and Eberhard Kronhausen</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Nancy_Friday" title="Nancy Friday">Nancy Friday's</a> <a href="/wiki/My_Secret_Garden" title="My Secret Garden">My Secret Garden</a>, were published.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson197810-76">[75]</a> Today, they are regarded as natural and positive elements of one's sexuality, and are often used to enhance sexual practices, both in normal settings and in therapy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrostino20069-75">[74]</a> Many Christians believe that the <a href="/wiki/Bible" title="Bible">Bible</a> prohibits sexual fantasies about people other than one's spouse in <a href="/wiki/Matthew_5:28" class="mw-redirect" title="Matthew 5:28">Matthew 5:28</a>.

In women, greater guilt about sex was associated with less frequent and less varied sexual fantasies, and in men, it was associated with less sexual arousal during fantasies.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeitenbergHenning1995478–479-78">[77]</a> Women also reported more intense guilt than men; both sexes reported greater guilt if their arousal and orgasm depended on a fantasy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrostino20069–10-79">[78]</a> Studies have also been carried out to examine the direct connection between guilt and sexual fantasy, as opposed to sex and guilt.
