A Reddit user made a handy graphic which shows 55 sexual fantasies broken down by the “most usual” to the “most unusual,” and by gender, based on the statistical findings of a new study called “What Exactly Is an Unusual Sexual Fantasy?” published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. According to the authors, the “main goal of this study was to determine which sexual fantasies are rare, unusual, common, or typical from a statistical point of view among a relatively large sample of adults recruited from the general population.” They based their findings on a sample of 1,516 adults they interviewed on the internet (799 women; 717 men) who ranked 55 different sexual fantasies. Here’s what the researchers found:
“Only two sexual fantasies were found to be rare for women or men, while nine others were unusual”—some of these include peeing on a partner, cross-dressing, rape fantasies, exposing oneself in public, and having sex with a stripper or prostitute. But, for the most part, most people share many of the same erotic fantasies, regardless of gender: “thirty sexual fantasies were common for one or both genders, and only five were typical.” The most common sexual fantasy for both men and women are submission and domination themes. Some other shared fantasies for both genders are fucking in a public place, fucking someone who is not your spouse, having a threesome, watching two women have sex, giving head, and getting tied up. These hot, sexy, very “usual” fantasies go on and on (check out the graphic below).
All this talk of sexual fantasies is putting us in the mood to act out some of ours—and yours! Let’s make these fantasies a reality!
