Fantasy Comfort
Fantasy Comfort refers to the level of ease a person feels engaging with, thinking about, or acknowledging sexual or intimate fantasies.
What This Really Means
Fantasy Comfort describes emotional and psychological safety around imagination rather than the content of fantasies themselves.
It is closely related to Emotional Safety and Erotic Curiosity, as comfort increases when curiosity is not met with judgment or pressure.
Within a relationship assessment platform, fantasy comfort is inferred from patterns of openness, hesitation, or avoidance around imagined scenarios.
The concept helps explain compatibility dynamics by separating comfort with fantasy from desire, behavior, or intent.
Examples
A partner feels relaxed acknowledging fantasies without needing to act on them
A relationship report highlights differing comfort levels around imaginative intimacy
Openness to fantasy increases during periods of emotional safety
