A Correlational Model of Sadomasochistic Fantasies and Psychosocial Features among Male and Female Medical University Students

Abstract

The deliberate act of mentally envisioning a sexual scenario involving a target and/or behavior is a normal part of human sexuality. The content of the mental imagery or sexual fantasy frequently reflects one’s sexual interest and is experienced as sexually arousing [1]. In fact, some studies have shown a positive correlation between the experience of arousing sexual fantasies and sexual satisfaction [2].
