Answer to Question 1

Responses should consider:
1. Fantasy provides a safe sexual outlet. A fantasy itself does not involve any physical contact, so there is no danger of pregnancy or STIs. By itself or combined with masturbation, fantasy can provide a completely safe sexual experience.
2. Fantasy can enhance arousal. Probably the most common reasons people fantasize are to increase and enhance their feelings of sexual excitement. Fantasy in a nonsexual setting has the potential to enhance future sexual encounters, and fantasy during masturbation or lovemaking can strengthen physical and psychological responses.
3. Fantasy can relieve boredom. Sex therapists often recommend fantasy to spice up a couple's sex life that has become routine and predictable.
4. Fantasy can be used to treat sexual problems. Fantasy, usually combined with masturbation, is a cornerstone of sex therapy. It has been shown to increase sexual desire, arousability, orgasm, and sexual satisfaction in general.
5. Fantasy can relieve sexual anxiety, guilt, and doubt. Nearly everyone at one time or another feels anxiety, guilt, or self-doubt about sexual issues. Fantasy offers an opportunity to think about sexual values, to replay sexual scenes, and to learn about one's sexual identity.
