Two Key Elements Of Sexual Fantasy

I enjoy porn and sometimes read erotic stories online, because I love fantasy. To me, all sex is fantasy. Even successful relationships are usually built on an imagined idea of an ideal lover.

Two Key Elements Of Fantasy

The best part of fantasy is sexual tension — that feeling of anticipation just before it happens for the first time. For a woman, it might be that feeling where her crush walks in while she is alone in the room, perhaps wearing something revealing and unusually scant. She wasn't expecting him. He sees her, starts, looks her over, then smiles. He approaches. His intentions are unclear. She has dreampt of him, masturbated to him, and now...

Or perhaps she is at a formal occasion, dressed to the nines, looking gorgeous, and she knows it. It is a lovely summer evening. She strolls out on the grounds and sees her crush in the distance. Perhaps he is lighting a cigarette, or taking in the fresh air and cool breeze. She wants to know what he doing out there, and tries to observe without getting caught. As she edges closer, it is to no avail; he sees her. He looks her up and down, throws his cigarette to the ground and smiles. He approaches.

Two Key Elements Of Sexual Fantasy

For a man, it might be that moment when his crush appears as expected, but she looks more excited to see you and more beautiful than anticipated. Or when, after days of noticing and longing for her from afar, she knocks on his door. When she is sitting close and then touches his arm, unexpectedly. When your crush sees you in your dorm exiting the shower, wearing nothing but a towel, and she pauses to take a second look. Or perhaps even when you approach a woman, and she unconsciously takes a good long look squarely at your crotch.

I'll bet you can come up with more, perhaps better examples. I hope you do.

These are the most exciting moments of the narrative of sex - the unknown, the anticipated, the longing, the unintended (or subtly intended) teasing. The possibility of more, looming before you, like a delicious fruit waiting to be plucked, bitten and consumed. The precipice of everything.

Two Key Elements Of Sexual Fantasy

The second best part of fantasy is ecstasy: the glazed look in their eyes, where they are so engaged in the sexual act that they lose themselves. They look like they are stoned; high on the sexual act. They are surfing on their own sexual excitement, like a wave that has scooped them out and carries them out another place, another state of mind apart from this mundane world. When I am in ecstacy, I feel as though I am dwelling in my own dream.

The rest of porn and sex stories is more or less the same. Without tension and ecstacy, every fuck looks the same, and it is as boring as, well, boring as fuck.

  • Is it bad that I immediately thought of that cigarette starting a wildfire?
    I AM REDEYE, SPOILER OF MOODS, WHO MAKETH THEE PARCHED AND FLACCID...
    Lol.

    In the best fantasies, the "unknown" persists INTO the ecstasy part. The force that brings the ecstasy is still largely unknown.

    Or maybe it's just me.

    You made me ecstatic, by the way, by spelling "ecstasy" correctly... the first time. Then ya broke m'heart. Oh, the things you boys do.

    "Even successful relationships are usually built on an imagined idea of an ideal lover."

    No.

    Oh, sweet Jesus Christ child, no. No way.

    And, remember, I have a successful marriage, to a man who pretty much IS the realization of my imaginary ideal lover.

    And still... nope. At best, irrelevant to the success of your relationship. More likely, a pernicious influence.

    You don't really believe that, do you? What you wrote there?
    The foundation for a successful relationship is an impossible imaginary standard aganst which it will always seem inferior? The what you say, now?

    • You are right about the persistence of tension into ecstasy; having a healthy dose of both never hurts. I kept them separate to distinguish each. There was never any intention of serving them to you, the reader, as a single unit. The strong presence of either can carry the day. As for building strong relationships on imagined ideal lovers... I see your point. I was referring to the early stages of relationships, where one often projects idealized qualities on to a current lover based on triggers. Even though relationships like that can start out with great promise, they (surprise!) probably don't last. I think there can be an interesting discussion about whether love and romance (and religion) are internal systems that generate out of personal need for something/one to attach to, or whether we can program ourselves to exist autonomously and have those feelings provoked by a positive external force, e. g. the perfect lover. But that's a different take.

    • That personal need is definitely there. Really, two personal needs. One for some kind of axiomatic belief system, another for some kind of king/Godhead/royalty/whatever. The first is usually religion. When it isn't, it's just whatever the person believes with a religious fervor instead. Think about the people for whom, say, global warming is the "religion" instead. The second, yep, that's a thing, too. Fun factoid: Catholicism is the most hierarchical of the traditional Abrahamic religions, with the big dude with the funny hat at the top, and the rigid structure right on down to yr local friendly archbishop. And... the countries with Catholic heritage are largely the most liberal (in the classical sense of "liberal", not the bleeding-heart sense). Islam is the most democratic of those religions. Anyone, literally anyone, can be an imam, with some training and proof of dedication. No big dude with funny hat, or even rough equivalent. And... look where we find the most (cont'd)

    • (cont) dictator-y dictatorships. Food for thought. It is never, ever good to love an idealized holographic projection. Because real people are gritty, scratched, heterogenerous mosaics of imperfections. And that's why you're supposed to love them. A perfect person would be impossible to love, anyway. There'd be nothing to love.

  • I somewhat agree, but what about the sex where you just pick someone up in a bar and fuck them senseless? That, at least in my opinion, is also fun... :D

  • I love sex stories.
    I've written several of my own.
    I need to get back into doing so.

    The stories I would write... would turn me on with each and every word!
    When you write your sex stories, the entire encounter is just perfect!
    Everything is going the way you want it.
    You are the writer and you have control.

    I've read some sex stories as well ( I can't remember the last time I did however )
    The stuff I would read, was bizarre at times!
    It even opened my mind to the different level of kinks there are out there :D

    It's fantastic to relax, let your imagination run wild!

  • That guy in the first pic is fine!

  • That is for sure

    Porn can be so boring when there isn't a fantasy and antecipation around it

    Great Take

  • That ex pornstar in the first gif, was amazing in his prime.. lol

  • I'd like to add trust 😏

    • All relationships are built on it! It is of critical importance in real life, of course, but what role does trust play in fantasy?

    • I think to enjoy the tension and excitement you first have to be totally comfortable with that person. On a really deep level. At least for me anyways.

    • Absolutely true! In real life, trust is built slowly, but in my fantasy world I usually take trust for granted.

  • Yup, I definitely like sexual fantasies :D
