Tell me a little bit about you, and I’ll tell you what your fantasies are.
All I need is a little information about your demographic background, your personality, and your sexual history.
What is your attachment style?
The trend of insecure people having fewer fantasies about multiple partners and nonmonogamy is perfectly logical.
Insecure people would probably find these scenarios threatening.
This may be a way to minimize feelings of threat.
For example, an insecure person might actually enjoy a scenario where multiple people are giving them attention.
This can blunt any feelings of rejection.
The link between insecurity and fantasies about BDSM and novelty can be explained as a form of psychological escapism.
As previously mentioned, BDSM fantasies offer a break from self-awareness, as do novelty fantasies.
In other words, both BDSM and novelty are potent ways of taking your mind off of relationship insecurities.
Are you someone who is organized and cares about the details?
These traits also tend to transfer into their sexual fantasies.
Being conscientious is linked to having more novelty fantasies, especially fantasies that featured novel tweaks.
Attention to detail seems to lead conscientious people to construct elaborate, planned-out fantasiesall the way down to location.
This pattern makes sense when you consider that conscientious people like to follow the rules.
They tend to be conformists.
Would you describe yourself as outgoing and social?
Extroversionis a personality trait that reflects an outgoing nature, a desire to interact with the world.
Extroverts like to meet new people in real life and in their sexual fantasies, too.
Extroverts are less likely to have taboo sexual fantasies.
People who have difficulty establishing the relationships they want also tend to create more unusual interests.
Since extroverts usually don’t have a problem establishing relationships, taboo sexual fantasies are less appealing.
Extroversion was also linked to the emotional content in people’s fantasies.
Specifically, extroverts had fewer fantasies about intimacy and social bonding and more fantasies about feeling validated.
In particular, their fantasies included praise for their sexual skills and performance.
