Sexual fantasy

Sexual fantasy refers to a mental image or pattern of thought that stirs a person's sexuality and can create or enhance sexual arousal. A sexual fantasy can be created by the person's imagination or memory, and may be triggered autonomously or by external stimulation such as erotic literature or pornography, a physical object, or sexual attraction to another person.

Types of Sexual Fantasies

Sexual fantasies are nearly universal, but they vary greatly from person to person. Some people fantasize about sexual activities they have never done, while others rely on past experiences. Some people's sexual fantasies are completely fantastical and could not be performed in real life, while others involve scenarios that could potentially be acted out.

Sexual fantasies play a crucial role in sexual arousal. For many people, sexual fantasies are a necessary part of achieving sexual satisfaction.

Role in Sexual Identity

Sexual fantasies can also play a significant role in a person's sexual identity. Many people use their sexual fantasies to explore their sexual preferences and to understand their sexual orientation.
