What is Allorgasmia?

Allorgasmia is a sexual fetish or kink where an individual experiences sexual arousal and reaches orgasm by fantasizing about having sex with someone other than their current partner. This can occur during sexual activity with their partner or while masturbating.

How Does Allorgasmia Work?

Allorgasmia is a form of mental or emotional infidelity. It involves imagining sexual scenarios with someone other than one’s partner. This can be a celebrity, a co-worker, a friend, or even a stranger. The individual may use their imagination to create sexual scenarios that are not possible in real life, such as having sex in public or engaging in BDSM activities.

For some individuals, allorgasmia may be a way to explore their sexual desires and fantasies without physically cheating on their partner. It can also be a way to spice up their sex life with their partner by incorporating fantasies into their sexual activities. However, for others, allorgasmia may be a sign of dissatisfaction or unhappiness in their current relationship.

Is Allorgasmia Common?

Allorgasmia is not a widely studied fetish or kink, and there is limited data on its prevalence. However, it is not uncommon for individuals to fantasize about having sex with someone other than their partner. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Sex Research found that 98% of individuals reported having sexual fantasies, and 80% of those fantasies involved someone other than their current partner.

Is Allorgasmia Harmful?

Whether allorgasmia is harmful or not depends on the individual and their relationship. For some individuals, allorgasmia may be a harmless way to explore their sexual fantasies and desires. However, for others, it may be a sign of deeper issues in their relationship, such as dissatisfaction or lack of emotional connection.

If allorgasmia is causing distress or negatively impacting one’s relationship, it may be worth seeking the help of a therapist or sex therapist to explore the underlying issues and find ways to address them.
