"Sexual fantasies are part of the normal and healthy functioning of the body, whether spontaneously or caused by external stimuli. Studies have pointed out that sexual fantasies are associated with sexual drive, and that the higher the sexual exorcism, the higher the frequency of sexual fantasies and the higher the satisfaction of sex life. Sexual fantasies help us create a balance between the environment and our inner self, which is the state we seek. "Sexual Analysis"
