New York, Nov 28 (THAINDIAN NEWS) There has always been a debate over whether the sexual fantasies are healthy or harmful. Some who belong to the old school of thought believe that they are harmful whereas recent studies indicate that this is actually not so, because they are a basic & an integral part of the human psyche.

Fantasies are said to be an imaginary part of our minds, in which one experiences and thinks about all those things that are forbidden or impossible. They can also be said to be an advanced form of wishful thinking and they are sometimes difficult to control, when they are in an involuntary format, which generally happens when we are sleeping.

Wishful thinking releases the mind from the on-going tensions of the day-to-day life and they are also charge and rejuvenate us. They add a touch of “possibility” to the impossible things and thus people who regularly fantasize are seen to have a healthy and fulfilling life. However there is another group of people who think that sexual fantasy about some one else is an act of disloyalty to their sexual partner and they are being unfaithful. However this is not always the case. Because long-term sexual relationship with the same partner can get a bit boring and sexual fantasy brings back the spice and the zest in it.
