This episode is about our fantasies, dreams and desires and the ways in which they can play an important role in our sex lives, especially for those who have got into a bit of a rut over time. Everybody has fantasies and those fantasies take many various forms in the human psyche. Whatever they are, they represent a deep access to our desires. There are many such fantasies which probably should stay unexpressed but a far greater number is repressed because of social norms or family background or childhood experience or cultural and religious tradition. Recognising and confronting them as well as welcoming them into one's sexual being requires a great deal of courage, both because we may find them uncomfortable ourselves or – more likely – we are worried about the impact they may have on those around us.
