"If you think you're the only one who has certain fantasies, think again. Whether you're daydreaming about having threesomes or can't stop thinking about hooking up in public, "research shows that a wide range of sexual fantasies are both common and perfectly normal," says Dr. Jessica O'Reilly, a sex and relationship expert."
"Many sexual fantasies were revealed in a 2023 study from the University of Montreal that asked 1,517 adults about their go-to fantasies. They later published the findings in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. According to the study, the most common ones were having sex in unusual places, hooking up with someone other than your partner, and being dominated."
"ICYDK, "a sexual fantasy is simply an imagined scenario that turns you on in your mind's eye," says Dr. Debra Kissen, a licensed clinical psychologist, CEO, and founder of Light On Anxiety CBT Treatment Center. "It might be something you'd never act on in real life, but it adds mystery, danger, or novelty that spices up your internal world.""
A 2023 University of Montreal study surveyed 1,517 adults and reported its findings in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The most reported fantasies included sex in unusual places, hooking up with someone other than one’s partner, and being dominated. Experts define sexual fantasies as imagined scenarios that arouse individuals and note they often introduce novelty, risk, or taboo feelings without indicating a real desire to act them out. Common fantasies can sometimes be enacted consensually if desired, and sensations such as the thrill of being watched or the risk of getting caught often explain why certain fantasies recur.
