The way sex is portrayed in the media and in films often provides us with a base of comparison that is not always realistic for the individual. (Andrea Burri)
Fantasy transcends reality while, at the same time, it also reflects the real problems and joys that we have in reality. If we do not take fantasy seriously, we are bound to lose our sense in reality.
Men are certainly more likely to fantasise about real women or women they have seen in pornography or on television. Men are also more likely to fantasise about scenarios that they would like to engage in for real. But women do neither of these if they are aiming for orgasm. Women's fantasies are surreal because eroticism relates to the role of the penetrating male. The role of the receiver is not arousing and explains why women talk of romantic fantasies. They are not aiming for orgasm. Instead they talk of lovemaking.
