Orgies. Sex in public. Incest. These are the things that some of us think about in the dark. Taboo fantasies can be exciting, but they can also be the source of our deepest shame. In this two-part series on sexual fantasies, the Sugars read letters from people who want to turn off the thoughts that turn them on.
Dr. Ian Kerner, a psychotherapist and sexuality counselor, helps the Sugars answer a letter from a woman who calls herself βFed Up With Fantasy.β She writes, βEver since I started being a sexual being Iβve had terrible fantasies. Incest of every kind. Teachers having sex with their underage students. Gangbangs in public bathrooms. I cannot get turned on without thinking of these story lines. Did something bad happen to me that I have repressed so much I donβt even have a hint of it?β she asks. βAnd how do I make it stop?β
Dr. Kerner and the Sugars explore where dark fantasies come from and offer βFed Up With Fantasyβ ways she can share them with her boyfriend. Dr. Kerner specializes in sex therapy and couples therapy. Heβs also The New York Times best-selling author of βShe Comes First: The Thinking Manβs Guide to Pleasuring a Woman.β
