Talk:Sexual fantasy

Please remove the disturbing picture you have in this article. A human and a non-human is disturbing, show something sexually normal. --198.51.130.254 17:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

"Sexually normal" is pretty subjective, and as it says in the article, people may not actually want to do what they fantasize. Wikipedia isn't censored, and this is one of the best artistic depictions of the general idea of a sexual fantasy.-Wafulz 19:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I doubt that very many people fantasize about having sex with non-human creatures show a human-human sexual fantasy please. --198.51.130.254 (talk) 03:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I removed the disturbing picture and recommend it be replaced with a human-human sexual fantasy. --76.214.104.119 (talk) 21:11, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I put it back in. Can you think of an alternative depiction of a sexual dream? THe point of the image is that it depicts the concept of a fantasy in general, as opposed to a specific fantasy.-Wafulz (talk) 21:15, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Opening sentence -- Deliberate?

Since when is sexual fantasy necessarily or even usually deliberate? Daydreaming is not something you set your mind to doing; it either happens or it doesn't. Vranak (talk) 06:11, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Bias in images

The images throughout the article predominantly depict women as the objects of sexual fantasy - a great many people fantasise about men, so shouldn't there be some images with sexualised men as the focus?

I agree. If you can find some that fit with the material feel free to add them.-Wafulz (talk) 15:22, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Disagree - the images are depictions of a sexual fantasy - they aren't a sexual fantasy in itself (or at least they aren't in this context): The Fishermans Wife depicts the sexual fantasy of a woman, Avril 22 shows a group sex scene, being enjoyed by a man, and Avril 24 is an oral lesbian display, which whilst possibly enjoyed by men in a 3rd party, is directly enjoyed - ie carried out - by women. However, oral sex carried out on a man is displayed in the background of the Avril 22 image.

That seems like a reasonable spread of male/female ratio - one for the woman, one for the man, and one for both sexes.

It's an invalid argument to say that any of the depicted fantasies are either unrealistic or biased, because you don't know that. JNMK, but bestiality is carried out all over the world as are both oral sex and masturbation.

While Dream of a Fisherman's Wife ostensibly depicts the sexual fantasy of a woman, it's rendered by a male artist (Hokusai) and is clearly intended to titillate the viewer by creating a sense of voyeurism. The viewer is invited to fantasise about the woman fantasising as though she were an actual person rather than an artistic creation, and as if it were her own private fantasy and not one attributed to her by the artist.

Notice that Avril 22 also shows an individual fantasising, but in this case the man himself and the content of his fantasy are depicted as literally separate. If Dream of A Fisherman's Wife is indeed depicting a woman's fantasy, then it includes the woman's own body as part of that fantasy. I don't see Avril 22 offering up the man's body as fantasy material in the same way.

However, I will concede that Dream of a Fisherman's Wife and Avril 22 are both relevant images for this article because they depict people fantasising. But I'm puzzled by the relevance of Avril 24. Little radiolarian (talk) 09:04, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Avril 24 may not being fully relevant to the article since it has more to do with the act than the fantasy.-Wafulz (talk) 20:51, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Oral sex is a sexual fantasy, the image depicts oral sex, so image depicts a sexual fantasy, ergo relevant to the article. a_man_alone (talk) 09:27, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
