o N THE LIGHT SIDE Sticks and stones may break your bones, but whips and chains — that’s another matter. It's a matter of dealing with fanta- sies — those deep, dark thoughts which we all periodically enjoy. Approximately 350 KSC students responded to anony- mous questionnaires on the very per- sonal realm of their fantasy world. Their responses contained in-depth answers to when, where, what and how they fan- tasize. They represented both sexes and both traditional and non-traditional student ages. While this cross-section of students shared their various fantasies whips and chains went unmentioned in the survey. Students might think about them, but they don’t want to talk about it. For KSC students, sex was the No. 1 subject matter listed as their favorite fantasy. The fantasies about a variety of sexual partners read like a plot line from those kinds of books banned in the South. There was sex with multiple women, homosexual sex, sex with someone else watching (in one case the woman's husband), sex with older wom- en, sex with a famous movie star, sex with the dentist, forced sex, and one stu- dent said she fantasized about being raped by Aborigines. It was difficult to determine what was an honest response and which an- swers were created from the depths of the student's imagination just for the sake of the survey. But even if the re- sponses were not truly their own, per- haps someone, somewhere has honest- ly fantasized about a similar subject mat- ter. Kinky? Maybe, but in your mind you can think those private thoughts you ] would never utter aloud. These are fan- tasies and to fantasize is normal, ac- cording to KSC instructors. Helen Redden, associate professor of home economics, said, The majority of men and women use fantasies as a part of a sexual relationship and it is nor- mal, normal, normal. It becomes un- healthy if it is the only method of sexual release.” She said some people have guilt over fantasies and that is why in her classes and counseling she gives peo- ple permission to fantasize. The majority of people fantasize because improper sex teaching has developed a need for it, she added. She said males tend to fantasize about sex with many women at one time, while females fantasize about being submissive to power because many be- lieve they have no choice but to give themselves to the male. The teenage years are a time of strong, sexual need thus teenagers may fantasize more because of a desire and no outlet, she said. The KSC survey bears this out. About 78 percent of the males who are under 25 and single chose sex as a fa- vorite fantasy. It didn’t seem to matter where or when (other than often), but students definitely chose this first. Closely following the sexual response came fantasies about riches, fame and athletic ability. Some wanted to go to sea as their favorite fantasy — probably to where the girls were on their favorite deserted island. Single males over 25 and all married males surveyed preferred more tangible fantasies. Their fantasies were of riches and fame. Perhaps sex rated lower with this group because it is more available to them. Females 25 and under and un- married listed love, money and marriage as their favorite fantasies. About 15 per- cent wanted to take a trip for their ro- mantic experiences. There was very lit- tle sexual aggression shown in this group although some showed a liking to men who were aggressive. A desire to have a new body was a popular feminine response along with dreams of a desert island and palm trees. A future career apparently was not a major concern. Females ages 25 and under and married and those 25 and older and sin-
