Abstract
IntroductionExploring the ways in which sexual fantasies may affect sexual experience and satisfaction is of relavence in the clinical setting involving sexual dysfuntion.ObjectivesTo observe how the sexual fantasy scores differ in their relationship with sexual satisfaction, experience and quality between sexual dysfunction cases and normal controls.MethodsScales included: Wilson’s sex fantasy questionnaire (WSFQ), Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX), Sexual Quality of life Questionnaire (SQoL), and a subjective sexual satisfaction meter. Differences in resposes of both groups on WSFQ (item-wise and domain-wise) were analysed using T-tests. Two-way ANOVA was applied to see how other scales affected sexual fantasy.ResultsCases scored significantly higher on ASEX scale, and low on satisfaction, SQoL and WSFQCases N=1OOControls N=100t-testSatisfaction Mean(sd)4.27(1.85)7.82(1.31)t=3.052;df=198,p=0.0026Asex17.52(4.73)8.28(1.34)t=15.24;df=198,p<0.0001SQoL29.41(12.12)49.5(6.67)t=14.52;df=198,p<0.0001WSFQ26.80(17.61)30.59(15.32)t=1.62,df=98,p=0.106Majority of WSFQ responses, both in cases and controls, fell in the intimate and impersonal domains. Sexual fantasy scores and sexual satisfaction had a strong positive and significant correlation in controls but no linear correlation in the case-subjects. sexual fantasy scores contributed to 5.7% of difference in the scores of SQoL between groups. Major variance in scores of satisfaction in our subjects depended on presence or absence of sexual dysfunction(46.5%)but sexual fantasies also contributed to 8.8% of the variance.ConclusionsThe study showed that fantasies contribute to positive sexual outcomes only in absence of sexual dysfunction. ANOVAanalysis revealed that in case-subjects sexual satisfaction briefly increases initially with increase in fantasy scores but starts to decline as fantasies increase.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
