Describe the five functions of sexual fantasies.
What will be an ideal response?
Fantasies are a normal and healthy form of autoeroticism. They have several functions: (a) they help direct and define our erotic goals, (b) they allow us to plan for or anticipate future events, (c) they provide escape from dull or oppressive environments, (d) they bring novelty and excitement into a relationship and provide a safe outlet for sexual curiosities, and (e) they are a form of self-expression, like dreams. A majority of people fantasize during intercourse. The only identified harm in this is the guilt that some feel about this activity.
