These Are the Most Common Sexual Fantasies
Until now, no large-scale study in the general population
has been conducted to identify the prevalence of specific fantasies.
Researchers Christian Joyal, Amélie Cossette, and Vanessa Lapierre sought to
fill that information void.
"Our main objective was to specify norms in sexual
fantasies, an essential step in defining pathologies," Joyal said. "And as we suspected, there are a lot more common
fantasies than atypical fantasies.
Joyal, Cossette, and Vanessa asked 1,516 participants
from a large city in Quebec. Subjects were 52.7% female and 47.3% male, with an
average age of around thirty. Participants anonymously completed an in-depth,
online questionnaire to gauge the prevalence of certain sexual fantasies, as
well as their intensity of interest in each.
Here are the twenty most common sexual fantasies for men
and women:

like on a deserted beach. (84.9%)

such as in the office or a public toilet. (81.7%)

"This study indicates that there are very few
statistically unusual sexual fantasies," the researchers noted. But some
were noticeably rare. Fewer than 10% of respondents fantasized about wearing
clothing from the opposite sex or urinating on a partner or being urinated on.
Fewer than 3% of respondents reported fantasizing about having sex with an
animal or a child.
The researchers encourage a measure of caution when
interpreting the numbers. Previous research has shown that volunteers in
sexually-focused studies tend to be more open than people who refuse to
participate in such studies, so that may have biased the results. Moreover,
since the survey was entirely conducted online, the researchers were not able
to visually confirm the subjects' age and gender.
