Susie Bright on fantasies

"It’s normal, it’s common, to fantasize about the bizarre— the things that in real-life circumstances would trouble us, frighten us, or maybe just make us laugh. Erotic fantasies take the unbearable issues in life and turn them into orgasmic gunpowder."

I believe that sincerely. A man just needs a willing female and or girlfriend. Too bad paris hilton or meg ryan wasn't available. Oh well.............still a great fantasy though it will never come true :)

A captivating article, thank you for the link.

I believe the universe of our unconscious mind, which includes the secrets of our fantasies and their origins, defies all logical "down to Earth" interpretation the same way that beauty defies mathematical measurements. A circle is a mathematical symbol of perfection, but artistically, it is just bland. Too basic, too simple, too un-poetic. You can analyze some things all you want, make some very relevant findings, but you'll never have THE fundamental key to the soul, because there's only one in existence and it belongs to its bearer.

Repeat after me: "The only one who can truly understand me, to the core, is myself." Others may notice some things in us that we hadn't, helped by their distanciated perspective. But they'll never have me or you or him or her "all figured out". Not even if they designed and programmed our brainwashing from A to Z. It's just not possible, by essence.

The human mind is, potentially, infinite and invincible. Even God lets us act our whole life by ourselves before even considering judging it (according to the strictest religious views). This is telling us something. The decision is ours.

The total number of possible connections between two neurons of one human brain exceeds that of the atoms in the whole Universe by several digits. Since a mind is not static, and can always evolve by itself, this means no hard drive in Creation can log a single one of us and have him/her "all figured out, from start to finish".

These 2-3 pounds of delicate grayish jelly are a receptacle for infinity. There is a spark of the divine in us.
And there is a spark of immortality in our sexuality since the origin of our species. As if the unfathomable sensation of an orgasm was a hint of the virtually limitless duration of our lineage through our children and their children, since our parents and their parents...

An interesting article about the difference between reality and pure sexual fantasy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolicon.

The accepted criteriae are still far from universal...

Yes, it is interesting that some thoughts are so repugnant that a huge percentage of the population has no problem outlawing the thoughts themselves, or art containing them.

Which in itself is a repugnant thing!!!

I fantasize about ready accessibility to sex, and therefore about some kind of "magic power" over my willing partners -- for example, my hands are like King Midas', except instead of turning the object of my touch to gold they turn it to orgasm; or, I have mild mind-control powers which make me desperately desired by women. But I don't fantasize about the "bizarre," certainly not about things which would trouble or frighten me. My sexuality is all about not gettin' enuf, and wantin' more.

Pretty simple. Viagra would be hell for me. Why further exacerbate the already gaping discrepancy between my exorbitant level of desire for nookie and my equally negligible level of ability to achieve it?

Not getting enuf? Now THAT's bizarre.

You realize, of course, that you're probably the only male human on this planet with such an issue? *<;o)

I remember the very unusual fantasies I had in my teens. In a nutshell, everybody ELSE also was in the same kinky mood as I, and willing, so everybody ended up very satisfied and happy, starting with myself.
Um... maybe it's a good thing I never revealed this at confession time.
(The truth is, I just didn't feel sinful. :-)
