Should I be concerned about my fiance's fantasy?
Q: My fiance told me he wants to watch me give oral sex to another guy before we get married. He says it's a fantasy of his. Should I be alarmed?
A: Yes, I think you should be a bit alarmed! Men and women often have crazy fantasies that can be pretty darned dirty, but that doesn't mean they should be carried out.
A couple of things you need to think about include: Has he had group sex before? Did an ex do this for him? Does he expect to fulfill some wild fantasy of yours too? And why would he think that fulfilling this one fantasy before marriage wouldn't mean that he’d then want you to do other “alarming” things?
At the heart of this matter is mutual respect and trust. How much respect can he have for you if he's trying to pressure you into something you don't want to do? It's time to clarify this crucial issue before you get married.
You can do this by sitting down and having a frank discussion with your fiance about all the feelings his request has brought up. Think through what you'd like to say to him about feeling undermined, pressured, worried, and so on. If you’re well prepared for this conversation, you can hold your ground. Let him know that you won't be pressured into anything you don't want to do. Tell him you're quite happy to chat about fantasies as part of your sex play but that you don’t want to act them out.
