How often do you think men fantasize about other women?
Just that really. I'm guessing it's a lot. Do you think they share with their friends who they fantasize about? Or not since they fantasize so much?

Pretty wide generalisation there...

Carpetglasssofa · 18/11/2018 09:30

Asked dh. He says 4x a day, on average.

How often do you think women fantasize about other men?

It's probably about the same.

LettuceP · 18/11/2018 09:33

I think it's an individual thing, and it's private. Women fantasize too you know.

Skybird · 18/11/2018 09:48

@SpoonBlender
I believe men fantasize a lot more than women.

It's a fact apparently

@Carpetglasssofa did you ask your dh who he fantasizes about? I would be very intrigued.

Could be your neighbour?
Your friend?

In asked DH this before and he says pretty much anytime he seems an attractive women and then also impromptu several times a day. Obviously this is just fantasising.
He isn’t knocking one out each time if that’s what you mean?

GerdaLovesLiIi · 18/11/2018 09:52

How would we know?
Do you think our oH's share their sexytiemz fantasies with us?

Skybird · 18/11/2018 09:53

No just fantasizing.

Who cares? Confused

Everyone fantasises. Men AND women! Wink

Ploppymoodypants · 18/11/2018 09:59

Yep I must admit I asked this about 15 years ago!! 😁
It’s not something I think about or that is in anyway a concern to me.

CoughLaughFart · 18/11/2018 10:00

All. The. Time.

KlutzyDraconequus · 18/11/2018 10:01

I'm a guy and I don't fantasize at all.

What sort of fantasies are other men talking about?

Seeing a woman and picturing her nude and having sexual activity? Is this going on whilst they're sitting in the bus or shopping for frozen chicken thighs in Tesco?

Seems a bit grim too me.

Carpetglasssofa · 18/11/2018 10:14

No. Why on earth would I want to know that?

Limensoda · 18/11/2018 10:33

All men are different so who knows?

To wonder how often men fantasize?

Depends on how I feel, if I am in a relaxed mood and see an attractive person I may have a 10 second thought about sexual activity, but not a full blown fantasy.

Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly · 18/11/2018 10:44

I wouldn't like to ask my partner this, as I am currently a very secure, non paranoid partner, however I think it could cause issues within the relationship.
I know for me personally, I have fantasised about men on the TV, men in the street, and even a friend of his. I would be beyond mortified if he knew about this, as it might make him question how much I love and want to be with him. Some questions are best left unasked, I find.

His friend Grin
I think it's quite interesting that people can actually fantasize about partners friends etc as it's your own private thoughts.

I've never given it much thought before now and I've just found it intriguing.

How often do you think men fantasize about other women?

About as often as women fantasize about other men.

Skybird · 18/11/2018 11:02

@TheStoic
I remember reading somewhere that men fantasize, I think it was 4x more than women. I don't know how true it is so I'm just trying to get a better idea.

You really have to be more specific about "Fantasize"

Are we talking to jerk off?
Are we talking about passing a fit woman and wondering what she looks like naked?
Are we talking about a female friend, and wondering if you should ask her out, what kind of relationship would you have?
Are we talking about celebrities and famous people, and again, what it would be like to shag them, or what it would be like to be a couple with them?

I mean, if I'm on the beach and there's someone with a great body in a bikini then I'll check them out and think "Nice" in my head, but I won't automatically imagine sex together.

When it comes to jerking off then it's 99% fantasies about my current partner.

When seeing people I know and work with, then occasionally I'll wonder what sex with them would be like, but it's not in any way "I want to do this, this would be a dream come true for me if it happened" but more just random curiosity, the same way I wonder what it would be like to own more than one motorbike, or visit Machu Picchu. I certainly don't spend hours daydreaming about it.

Fake news is not fact.

This is why the internet can be so bad for you. An over investment is pure rubbish is a waste of time you won't get back long after you have shuffled off into the cloud.

Skybird · 18/11/2018 11:10

You really have to be more specific about "Fantasize"

Example would be someone you find attractive and wondering what it would be like having sex with them and/or fantasizing about having sex with them.
