In this video, sex therapist and YourTango Expert Dr. Lori Buckley of the Sinclair Institute says that same-sex partner scenarios are "quite common when it comes to sexual fantasies." There's one way to know whether it's an innocent fantasy or a sign of your true sexuality.

If they are trying to tell you something, there are ways to find out what. Many people have fantasies that they don't actually want to happen. It is often just about curiosity or a particular feeling that you are not being given in your everyday life.
