    Hi Op, Im with my significant other for a long time and I love him and would never want to jepordise what I have with him and so would never do the dirt etc.

    But in saying all that I find my self attracted to and even fancying other people. I just think its old fashioned 'Temptation' raring its ugly head. I hate that I get feelings for other people as it does make me feel guilty, but you cant help how you feel I guess but you can help what you do about it.

    I sometimes have dreams about these other people which makes me feel guilty but I don't indulge my fantasies like you do iykwim, but thats just me.

    Just replied to show you that its not just you

    There's no harm at all in fantasising about someone else if you've no intention of doing anything about it in real life. I'll admit that thinking about her SISTERS and mates is a bit weird alright, so never, EVER share this with her!!

    But if, like you say, you've no intention of cheating, then I wouldn't get too hung up on it. You can love someone and still "relax" while thinking of someone else who's hot. The prob is if this somone else is in your life alot and these fantasies could become a reality. Then you're in trouble.

    Could you not just think of Angelina or Kelly Brooke for a while???

    "And how do we begin to covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet?...No. We begin by coveting what we see every day"

    As long as you just keep this to yourself and don't act on it you're fine.

    Thinking about the sisters: that'll depend, but it's not unheard of and I could think of some examples :) about friends, that again also depends and again I could think of some examples.

    But yes, definitely don't mention it. It should never be mentioned.

    Its natural to fantasize about other people. Primitively speaking we are not a mynogamous species.
    Whats the situation with you and your girlfriend? If the sex has become stale, I'm sure Marksie will be by shortly to add his thoughts to that, I won't even try :rolleyes:

    Don't worry mate, she probably fantasises about your mates too. It's part of human nature. Fantasising about someone is a completely different kettle of fish to cheating. I don't think there's even a parallel that can be drawn.

    I recall hearing that most people don't fantasise about their partner!
    It is perfectly normal.

    +1, spot on. Just don't tell her.

    Perfectly normal. It's just human nature and I'm sure your girlfriend does the same. Besides at the end of your post you said that you'd never cheat on her and that's the important part. Think of those thoughts as just a bit of lust and nothing more ;)

    Yeah, your bf only ever thinks about you when he's jacking of. Sure he does.

    He also never looks at porn either.

    Dead God man stop beating yourself up over this.
    If you were on the beach in the South of Spain would you only be thinking
    about your girlfriend with all that half dressed flesh on show?
    I often fantasize about my g/fs friends and even her sister.
    I even told her i wouldnt mind a threesome with her and her sister.
    Its a fantasy its not real, dont worry about it.
    As long as whatever weird **** that goes on in both of ye're heads is ok
    to each other then its completely harmless.
    I said i might as well be honest with the girl about the small things as
    well as the big things and so i told her.
    Then again she is as kinky as i am so someday that 3some might even happen ;)
