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.
