Sexual Fantasies vs. Sexual Reality

Things that happen in my fantasies about giving blowjobs:

  • effortless deep-throating
  • that thick and messy type of spit
  • a constant flow of half-moaned praise
  • getting absurdly turned on

Things that can happen when you give a blowjob for real:

  • gagging
  • too much teeth
  • searing jaw pain
  • too much eye contact
  • questioning whether you ever even knew how to give a blowjob in the first place
  • getting absurdly turned on anyway

Things that happen in my fantasies about receiving oral sex:

  • deeply focused attention
  • mastery of clitoral anatomy
  • both of us moaning
  • plenty of pleasure always

Things that can happen when you receive oral sex for real:

  • dissociation
  • worries about hygiene
  • worries about taking too long
  • plenty of pleasure anyway

Things that happen in my fantasies about PIV:

  • force
  • depth
  • animalistic grunting
  • coming, always

Things that can happen when you have PIV for real:

  • erratic rhythms
  • clitoral abandonment
  • thinking about your to-do list
  • coming, occasionally

Things that happen in my fantasies about kissing:

  • profound passion
  • perfectly-timed groping
  • an explosion of figurative fireworks
  • a lot of intimacy

Things that can happen when you kiss for real:

  • overzealous tongue stuff
  • overzealous teeth stuff
  • not knowing what to do with your hands
  • nonetheless: a lot of intimacy

Things that happen in my fantasies about love:

  • permanence
  • safety
  • desperate confessions
  • the sense that it’s all you’ve ever wanted

Things that can happen when you love for real:

  • heartbreak
  • vulnerability
  • miscommunication
  • somehow, still, the sense that it’s all you’ve ever wanted
