I’m a guy and like, most guys, I keep a mental Rolodex of women I can mentally summon at will for masturbation if nothing else is handy. It must run to about 1000 over time but I have some favorites and some have definitely dropped out of permanent favor even though I seem to be unable to format that part of the disk.
That made me wonder though, where have I stood in the mental video cabinet of others over time?
If I add it all up, it must be about 500 where I scored at least a cameo performance. I am certainly not gay but I hung out with a lot of older gay men in college and they had the kindness to explain, in detail, where you stood in their dreams. Girls don’t typically do that but you can work it out through some confessions, some evidence and statistical extrapolation.
Now, for a lot of these people I would not have chosen to be an imaginary sex toy but it is hard to get an injunction for that in most jurisdictions.
How about you? Are you playing in brain reels across the county every night or is that a tape that never saw release?

Wow. Good question. Almost as frustrating as this question is when you talk to a girl you haven’t seen in a while and she whips out the “you remember that party a few years ago? You could SO have had sex with me that night.”
This statement haunts some guys. Now, a good number is if you take the amount of people that are/could be masturbating to you and subtract the number of girls/guys that you COULD have had sex with.
As for your original question…crap. I’d love to think it’s a massive number, but I bet it’s a few. I’d say it’s less than 20. I dunno, I’d love to be proven wrong…i think.

Though asking for nothing _but_ opinion, this thread just doesn’t _feel_ right for this forum.

Only one that I know of. Seems this girl I gave drum lessons to used to watch me get undressed frequently. She lived 2 doors down, and I lived in the basement with those little ground level windows. Guess I should have invested in a couple of foot long mini-curtains.
She once even tricked me into going out on a date with her. I asked when she wanted to schedule the next lesson and she asked when I was free on wednesday. I said I was free all night. Then she said “well do you want to go to a movie?” This was before I knew about the peeping of course.
I’d say there are probably a few more, but not nearly as many as I’d like. 🙂

**Otto** , that was the funniest thing I’ve read today.
As to the OP, I know of at least two who have, and one who probably did. Probably somewhere between three and twenty if I had to guess an overall number.

Does it count if I’m currently involved in a hot chat? I’d say at least 1. And it’s going very well. Thank youuuuuu…

Everybody I know fantasizes about My Guy, for several reasons. And I fantasizes about him when we’re not together. He \*\*claims to \*\*fantasize about only me, but I’m sure he’s just being kind.

Hint: if you feel the need to post to the SDMB in the middle of it, it ain’t that hot.

Not necessarily, but using both hands to type is rather telling…
I’m a female poker dealer, our clientele is 60+, I am terrified of the answer to this. Brain-bleach please.

I’m guessing maybe half a dozen, including…
…No, I’d better scrub the “including”. 😃

I’m saying ten to twenty that I can be reasonably sure about. Other than that, I have no idea.

Probably not too many in my case.
However, I am assuming that in the case of females who are attractive or even moderately so, most of your male friends and acquaintances have fantasized about you. I guess you gals know that, right? (If not, sorry to unsettle you.)

I only know of three that I’m 100% certain about (as in ‘did so in my presence’). I can only speculate how many others there are. Probably at least a few dozen.

How 'bout if I fanatasize about watching myself masturbate while standing in front of a mirror?
How many does that count for?
