In this Future of Sex podcast episode, Cole sits down with two leading experts on human sexuality, Dr. Justin Lehmiller, Kinsey Institute fellow and author of Tell Me What You Want, and Sara Tang, sex coach and Better in Bed podcast host. The trio talks listeners through some fascinating insights of sexual fantasies.
(Content warning: In this episode the concept of “forced sex” fantasy is discussed, which could be triggering for some people.)
Dr. Lehmiller expands on the different types of fantasies, based on a study. The findings showed how similar men’s, women’s and nonbinary people’s fantasies scenarios actually are. The conversation raises some very important questions for listeners. For instance, are your sexual fantasies enjoyed alone, or are they something to be shared with your partner? How do you choose to give access to your innermost fantasies? And how far are you willing to go act out your fantasies? What do we do if our partner shares fantasies that could be altogether off-putting? All of that and more is covered in this fantastic episode of Future of Sex.
Deciding whether you want to keep your fantasies to sexy pillow talk, or choosing with your partner to act out sexual fantasies can become a fun and adventurous conversation. Fantasies are a healthy part of our erotic mind, and sometimes live outside of our realm of opportunities. However we choose to enjoy our fantasies is a personal choice, but it should be noted that research finds that acting out our fantasies can be just as enjoyable as we imagine. So whether you choose to keep your fantasies to yourself, or shout them from the rooftops, this podcast is a great way to open up perspectives on fantasies and what to do with them.
