Sexual fantasy can be a part of sexual behaviour. Understanding sexual fantasies enables clinicians to understand the needs and barriers in individuals' sexual functioning. Sexual functioning in marriage and relationships is in turn influenced by sexual fantasies. In this first ever study of sexual fantasy from India, we report on 30 homosexual men and 30 heterosexual men who were given Wilson's Sexual Fantasy Questionnaire (SFQ). Homosexual men in this sample scored high on exploratory (trying out new techniques), intimate and interpersonal (fantasies about places, objects and times) as well as for overall libido. Heterosexual men acknowledged levels of external sexual restrictiveness, which were associated with sexual inhibition in real life. These findings from an urban sample reflect cultural and social factors, which can influence sexual fantasy and sexual functioning.
