Sexual fantasies are important sources of arousal. However, they can sometimes be frightening. In such cases, it is particularly important to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

You can influence your sexual fantasies

Sexual fantasies are important for arousal. They show you what and who you desire during sex. Your fantasies have a lot to do with how you have learned to use your body for sexual arousal — for example, whether and how much you move, how much you tense your muscles, and what kind of touch is important to you. By learning new methods of arousal, you can influence your sexual fantasies. We have written tips for women and for men on this topic. Read more about sexual fantasies in this text.

In fantasy, everything is allowed

Sometimes weird or frightening things happen in sexual fantasies. For example, some young people discover that they are particularly aroused by fantasies that cross moral boundaries and laws. For example, fantasies in which someone else is tortured or in which animals play a role. Having such fantasies is not a criminal offense. It would be a criminal offense to actually act on these fantasies.

It is important to distinguish between fantasy and reality

Most people can distinguish between reality and fantasy. This means that, although a fantasy may be arousing, they would not want to turn it into reality. It becomes problematic when you can only become aroused by the idea of sexual offenses. Or if you continue to develop these fantasies and imagine how to realize them in reality. In this case, you should seek professional help to avoid getting into trouble.
