Page "Sexual fantasy" Paragraph 14

During sexual contact, some people can use their fantasies to " turn off " undesirable aspects of an act.

For example, a woman receiving cunnilingus may shut out thoughts about her body's odours or fluids in order to fantasize about her physical or emotional pleasure.

Conversely, a person may use fantasy to focus and maintain arousal, such as a man receiving fellatio ignoring a distraction.

Men tend to be aware of only parts of themselves during sex -— they are more likely to focus on the physical stimulation of one area, and as such, do not see themselves as a " whole.
