These Are the Celebrities Men and Women Fantasize About the Most

Lehmiller tells Men's Health, "Men and women alike fantasize about more than just a mechanical sex act. We're looking for a certain level of emotional fulfillment, too, whether thats feeling desired or attractive, feeling sexually competent, or feeling connected to another person."

He continues, "Its a lot easier to envision feeling those emotions when youre fantasizing about someone you know as opposed to someone youve never met."

For his latest book, Tell Me What You Want: The Science of Sexual Desire and How It Can Help You Improve Your Sex Life, Lehmiller surveyed over 4,000 people about their sexual fantasies.

Ninety percent of his participants said they had fantasized about a romantic partner before, whereas only two-thirds had fantasized about a celebrity. Additionally, while 51% said they fantasize about their romantic partners often, a mere 7% said they fantasize about celebrities often.

But when we are thinking about celebrities, who pops up in our mind?

So is it bad to fantasize about celebrities, especially if you're in a committed relationship?

According to Lehmiller's research, it depends.

It could mean that you're "not satisfied in your current relationship. When people arent happy with their love lives, they tend to fantasize more about people other than their current partners," Lehmiller explains. "At the same time, though, frequent celebrities fantasies could also mean that you just have a very active imagination. People with overactive imaginations have more fantasies regarding just about everything simply because theyre always thinking."

Perhaps the key to a health relationship is to fantasize having a threesome with Scarlett Johansson and your wife.
