Can fantasies change over time?

[Barry]

Lately I’ve noticed that the things I daydream about are not the same as what they used to be. It kind of surprised me, because I thought desires stayed the same once you figured them out. Now I’m wondering—do fantasies just evolve naturally with age, or is it something I should be worried about?

That’s a great question. From my own experience, they definitely evolve. When I first started exploring, I had one set of ideas, and then years later I noticed new ones appearing. I experimented with this website, which helped me test out those changes without judgment. Some stuck, some didn’t, but the process showed me that change is normal. It’s more like growth than something to worry about.

Just passing by—I think everything in life changes with time: tastes in food, music, even hobbies. Why should fantasies be any different? It sounds natural to me.
