HOWTO: “Fantasy Sex” Me
filed under: HOW TO: by Melissa Gira
We’ve been a bit stolen away by the DC Madam case, but this week return with an especially topical HOWTO, on her favorite non-sex act, ‘fantasy sex.’ (Now with teeshirt available, step right up.)
There’s certainly a tantalizing polarity embedded in the idea of “fantasy sex,” that oldie-but-nasty fantasy vs. reality argument. We’re not really going to come out on one side of the futon or the other here, but we are going to push a bit in the direction of froth, fiction, and mindfucking.
Cheap talk. You can have twice the sex in half the time if you dirty talk about doing one thing while doing something else entirely. Bonus here is that you can talk a streak about sex you don’t even know if you want to have, or is even humanly possible, and get off on the earth plane at the same time. Extra bonus: that spoken word sex may also prove to be a preview of things to come, and can be an ingeniously smutty way to hear a very uncensored version of what’s going on in your lover’s head.
Mobile content provision. Fantasy sex can be executed by SMS & chat in all those places your body can’t get as blatantly off in: at a cafe, in an office building elevator, riding a streetcar, crossing the street. Caution, IM-on-the-phone users. Thumb fast and hard, and save the transcripts for stroke fodder later.
Less latex required. Whole new safer sex terrain opens for fantasy sex games. The only rubber choices you might need to make will be whether to buy off-the-rack or request custom couture.
Shakespeare was down. All the world’s a stage, etc. etc., so prop that up as strength to put on a cockier, sassier performance. Even Foucault was all about the production of sex. With fantasy sex, you can give a good live bed show, without pressure to play any one sexual part all the time.

A much nerdier, but flexible and imaginative way to play sex games through text based computer games has been around for quite some time. Multi-user dimensions (MUDS), such as Shangrila, have taken this to a whole new level and users create their own anonymous character development around a society driven by pleasure. It’s like a “choose your own ending” book from middle school, only for the typical sexually suppressed nerd (age 18+). Interestingly enough, more female nerds tend to play as well giving the game a bit more gender diversity (it also encourages herm/transgender play in a mostly liberal and accepting environment).
It’s the ultimate underground - no face, no fuss and all the imagination and creativity you can possibly grind out of your current sexual fantasies. I find it all relatively intriguing.
