Fantasies? Who doesn’t have those? I’ll likely never tell DW those because there’s no point if she’s not interested in said acts. I’m pretty sure hers are all pretty tame though and hopefully she’s fulfilled all of her fantasies.

Are there any DWs out there whose husbands think they are very vanilla about sex practices but who harbor much more adventuresome or wild fantasies that they just don't want to share with their husbands? Why not? Fear of disapproval or just a desire to keep that private? Fear that it would lead down a road that will end somewhere you don't want to be in terms of activities? Can anyone share what those fantasies are?

I used to, but after 14 years he knows most of them now. We were raised religious and my fantasies are almost all “sins,” (public, less-than-consensual, FF, MFF) so that was embarrassing/shameful. I don’t remember how I got more comfortable sharing. I think it was leaving religion behind, mostly. I don’t into detail about the MFM stuff because he said when he thinks about another guy around it’s not arousing.

But one of my fantasies is for whatever effed up reason him cheating on me so I’m not sharing that one! I’m not worried about giving him ideas, but know that he will tease me whenever I say something about how infidelity is so horribly wrong.

Not for sex reasons. We’ve done therapy before so I’m all for it, but I’m imagining that going to a sex therapist would only leave DW feeling like she isn’t enough or satisfy me sexually. Ultimately, placing pressure on her to try things she’s not a fan of. It’s really my issue for marrying someone who doesn’t quite match with me sexually, and for the time being it’s not worth me shaking up the relationship over.

The now-old book “My Secret Garden” makes the compelling case that most sexual fantasies our brain creates are never meant to ever take place; they may even be impossible. Rather, they are a function of our sexual psyche, are normal, and are healthy to think of from time to time.

I think what you may be describing is a particular kink you would like to try, but your wife would never be open to trying.

Then again: you never know until you ask (timing is everything here).

Something like that, but oddly enough I do recall actually sharing it with her a while ago. She ended up asking why I don’t force her to fulfill my fantasies and it left me speechless. The last thing I want is to force anyone one to do something they aren’t into. I also recognize that certain things probably aren’t as special as people make them out to be—so I’m likely not missing much.

You totally missed her clue. Totally.

+1. She's not so vanilla after all. You should have said, "I might just have to do that."

Not every marriage or committed relationship is a completely open book with full transparency between partners.

Here’s an informal poll. If you are in such a relationship, do you have secrets from your spouse or partner about any of the following:

1. Porn consumption
2. Solo satisfaction (not involving spouse)
3. Sexual fantasies

Would also be interested to hear why, if yes, you choose not to be completely open and transparent — and how those who can answer no to all 3 Qs got to that point of openness with spouse.

Any info on age, gender, length of relationship would also be welcome.

This is NOT a question about affairs.

Sounds like she strongly suggested she wants to be submissive (many people do). Assuming you are in a trusting, loving relationship, there may be ways to explore that, and see if she responds positively.

But I doubt that having a detailed, graphic,conversation ahead of time would lead you two anywhere. It would probably turn her off.

Sorry, but you’ll need to use your intuition here, and tread carefully but firmly.

You don't go around trying to intuit if a woman wants to be forced into something. Consent is important.

Seriously. Better risk not fulfilling her fantasy than, well, the other option.

If he asked I'd tell him but I don't ever bring it up because I think he'd feel bad I do it so much because he'd think he doesn't satisfy me which is not the case (I have very high drive and always had - we've been together for over 20 years and I always wanted it daily, or sometimes multiple times a day, DH is more of an every other day type of guy. Plus, sometimes it's just way quicker and less fuss.)

As to fantasies, he's always been a lot more vanilla but sometimes we do try them out so they are a part of our married life. (I am open to any of his fantasies as long as they didn't involve other people or extreme pain but he says he doesn't really have many. The few times he shared, it was fine.)

I think my wife does this too. She always tells me not to talk during sex.
