You are a retail or food service employee working on a federal holiday that isn’t Thanksgiving or Christmas. You were given less choice than usual to work, so you’re annoyed despite the pay bump. Who should you blame more for your annoyance? (Deliberately strict binary choice follows.)
Your employer
The customers

Can Sexual Fantasies of Sadism and/or Masochism be bad for you Mentally?
I think it can be bad for people’s self image and therefore mental health.
I think it depends on the person and/or their approach to them.
They are just fantasies dude, as in- not real.
I think they can be, if they bleed out into everyday behavior.
I think they can be, if they take over your life.
It depends on how mentally obsessed they are about them.
Personally, I do not want to encourage either of those qualities in myself, even in fantasy.
I wrote a chapter about this in my new book entitled “My Unique Perspectives on Everything .” Let me read it to you!
Fantasies of Sadism are probably bad for many people mentally.
Fantasies of Masochism are probably bad for many people mentally.
Nah, I am fine with mine. I know the difference between fantasy and reality.
They might be bad for people who do not separate fantasy and reality well. But that is a major mental health problem in and of itself.
They are just another kink. No big deal.
Anything can be bad for you mentally, including sexual fantasies.
