I personally think a fantasy is something within your mind, but not always have to act out.
If your mind reaches such levels, would the sheer fact you have a fantasy mean we really want to act upon it?
I would like to think I could have fantasies and talk about them, without always wanting to act them out.
Is talking about fantasies an escapism from the normal or could it mean we are just a pevert and really want to act them out?
Or are fantasies a way to just explore the mind and talking about them is just as horny as acting upon them?
A fantasy is an ideal or situation that appeals entirely as a mental construct. I think once it becomes a reality, it ceases to be a fantasy (because you have direct experience) and it then becomes either something you like (maybe a kink, a foible maybe even a perversion, if you are lucky enough) or don't or that you would like to do again, but with a few changes.
I think acting out a fantasy is fraught with problems really. It is unlikely to be exactly as you want it to be in your mind, and therefore it is unlikely to be as fulfilling. The more complex a fantasy is, the more likely this problem is to happen.
For example, if your fantasy is just to kiss a girl, then that IS likely to be more fulfilling than if someone else fantasises about having sex with all of the Nolan sisters and Orville the Duck, on Clacton beach, wearing jodphurs and a party hat and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra providing a background soundtrack, while Simon Cowell watches on and judges your performance.
I think talking about fantasies is very erotic with the right person. Utterly foolish with someone else who doesn't understand. It is a form of escapism entirely Minxy. It's something different from the norm and thereby attractive.
What is more perverse, having fantasies and saying nothing about them, or talking about them with a partner who understands you and them and can add another layer of richness to the fantasy? I don't think anybody is perverse in having fantasies, but I do think some fantasies are perverse... but that is kind of what makes them appealling.
Provided they stay the right side of legality of course. I mean The Nolans I could cope with, Orville the Duck I couldn't.
I think in the end fantasies are a sexual toy, they can be used to spice things up between people who are open enough to admit theirs to each other. Maybe they can be fulfilled in real life, maybe not. But if they are, I am sure new fantasies come along to take their place.
Anyone else agree though that if a reasonably realistic fantasy keeps cropping up like an itch, it may well be worth scratching it - assuming that doing so isn't likely to put you/those involved at huge risk?
I've found a couple of times that indulging recurrent fantasies, even if the reality didn't work out exactly as expected has helped me get more out of life, even in areas that have nothing to do with the fantasy itself.
Rambling nonsense or does this strike a chord with anyone else?

don't get too open-minded...your brain might fall out
Fantasies (in my book) are only worthwhile if they are realistically possible - don't have to realise them necessarily.
