Married Men and Sex

Yea, it's wrong. Fantasy may become reality someday.so don't go there!

No, it is not wrong, most people have them from time to time. As much as we love our spouses, we are human. As long as your ability to restrain from acting them out, there is no harm and your not being unfaithful "thinking" these thoughts.

Absolutely not. It is a safe and healthy way to use the wonderful thing called "imagination". A human being unable to be free and limitlessly colorful within the realms of his or her own mind is guaranteed to be stunted in the reality world...and the likelihood of this harming him/herself and others is to one degree or another a certainty.

Could you elaborate at how you came to your brilliant deduction?

Sure, I worked in womens health for many years, talking openly with people (patients as well as close friends an relatives...about many intimate issues.) Funny how some people are ok so harsh and condeming...usually that is out of fear or guilt with themselfs...Imagination has more than likely saved alot of relationships. It is a human trait, not all have or utilize it but be accepting of it. Have you ever imagined anything? My guess is that the way your reacting to this is a resounding YES.

I do not agree, being one who has done things society does not accept through running fantas's for years. Things are never as good as fantasies make it seem.
I have spent time behind bars partially attributed to loss of control and trying to full fill fantasy. I am now looking back over a long life and allot of it spent in fantasy, it is a wasted time. Reality is so much more truthful and full filling, more vibrant and enjoyable, it is what brings life to how we live.

Let's be a bit more realistic. You had /have control problems, most of us do not to the extent of breaking the law. Hey what ever works for you now appears to keep your impulses under control...good thing it sounds like.
But your inclination to spend so much time in fantasy land is/was abnormal. Most people have very sporatic visits there and it harms no one. Objectivity is helpful with harsh views.....temprance too. Good Luck.

I agree that reality is the best place to be. Although a married man and I had an emotional affair with lots of fantasy sex for over a year, it was very harmful to me and to him. I believe that the reality I experienced was the realization that my marriage was over. I am now going through marital separation and will be divorced soon. Although I think of the married man occasionally now, I realize that he is stuck in a very unhappy marriage and is basically, going to live out his life believing the lies he chooses to tell himself. I prefer to face reality, move on and find true love and sexual intimacy with a man that will be faithful to me (and not practice imaginative sex with himself while thinking of me). God knows that we are humans on this earth and we do need one another, we need to experience intimacy with another person in order to be fulfilled as a man or a woman.

I think you're fooling yourself about this being a 'safe and healthy' way to use the imagination. It harms you and others...the wife? Did we forget about her. Sad, but true. Marriage is a union, not a contract and not just an existence. Have courage, find reality in a loving relationship with true commitment and intimacy you deserve.

My dream man would simply see everyone as soul, leaving sexuality out of it. Sex would be something solely with me to create a deeper sense of connection. Unfortunately, men are not built this way physically. And women have desires also. Until we shed these bodies they will always get in our way of true spirituality and respect for each other.
