Abstract
A combination of written and interview protocols were collected from 4 participants, two men aged 27 and 29, and
two women, 24 and 28. The participants responded to questions about their understanding and use of sexual
fantasy, giving concrete examples. The data were analysed qualitatively using the phenomenological themes of
Space, Time and Being. These themes demonstrated the value of examining sexual fantasy experience as a unique lived experience. The data were then discussed in light of this and also with reference to previous research.
The data collected for this study demonstrate the unique way in which fantasy exists in interaction with its fantasiser.
It also highlights the change between the fantasy and the retrospective experience of fantasy.
