What do we do then if we don't want to find someone else, yet we desperately want to live out - at least to a certain extent - our sexual fantasies and fetishes? |
Question: Does he react that way to EVERY fantasy and fetish you've ever shared?
Let's assume the original premise is true - that EVERYONE has fetishes. The key is to identify those which the other partner is willing to accommodate (better yet, those which the other partner enjoys indulging), and focus on those.
Once in a while, I hear of a tragedy, where one partner has an extremely active imagination and fierce libido, who is coupled with someone who is woefully unimaginative and prudish. Those relationships often end bitterly and disastrously.
Hopefully, though, there is some "middle ground" in your relationship, where you can still feel fulfilled and satisfied - even if a few of the fantasies in your inventory remain strictly in your fantasy life, there are still enough being acted out to keep you happy and fulfilled.
