Abstract

This paper addresses the theme of sexual fantasies. The aim of the present work is to assess the similarities and differences between men and women in their performance of sexual fantasies. A field study of 376 students of the North zone of Rio de Janeiro was carried out, their ages ranging from 17 to 25. The tool for data survey was a questionnaire of 17 questions. The qui-square test method was used for statistic analysis. The results showed that the sexual fantasy is part of both men’s and women’s lives in a general way, although men use them more frequently in extramarital relations. Both feel comfortable with fixed partners when sharing their sexual fantasies. However, men share more with occasional partners than women. It was observed that both rarely seek erotic devices to accomplish their sexual fantasies. We came to the conclusion that the sexual fantasy patterns of men and women of this sample were similar, both expressing eroticism and romanticism.
