Some people discover that their sexual
fantasies must be played out
in the exact order and detail as prescribed by their imprinting.
If something interrupts the proper sequence of images and experiences,
it feels like a movie film breaking
or like a power failure disrupting an interesting television program.
The sex-dream-bubble is popped.
The sexual responses just getting started are suddenly dispelled.
And it might be necessary to start over to
“recapture the mood”.
In its most extreme form, the requirements of a sex-script
might be as strict as the ordered rituals of an obsessive person.
Once a sex-script has become explicit to one’s
sex-partner,
the partner might either decide to play along with the script
or to interject ‘ad libs’ that disrupt the script and break the spell.
Such departures from the script might cause the collapse
of a fantasy that was building sexual arousal.
Sometimes the partner of an individual with
strong sexual fantasies
is happy to go along with the actions as prescribed
because this leads to a ‘better’ sexual experience for both.
The fantasizer might become a ‘stage director’ for the mental script.
But sometimes the partner feels used by the fantasizer.
The person lost in fantasy might be having sex essentially alone,
using the partner as a supporting character in a pornographic movie.
If this is the case, the supporting actor might realize that he or she
could easily be replaced by anyone willing and able to play that
part.
