\n\n\u201cI\u2019m a 24-year-old woman who is completely and embarrassingly aroused by people who are confined to wheelchairs,\u201d writes a woman who calls herself \u201cWishing to be Seen.\u201d In her pained letter, she explains the possible origins of her isolating fetish and asks the Sugars for a way out: \u201cI just want to have an orgasm with a real human rather than with my sad self, in my sad bed, sadly watching YouTube videos of women I feel I am objectifying and using.\u201d
\n\n\u201cWishing to Be Seen\u201d is plagued by a single, shame-inducing fantasy, which Dr. Ian Kerner terms her \u201ccore erotic theme.\u201d Where do our core erotic themes come from? And is it possible to escape their grip? In part two of our Dark Fantasies series, Dr. Kerner returns to help the Sugars answer these questions and delve deeper into the world of sexual fantasy.
\n\nDr. Kerner specializes in sex therapy and couples therapy. He\u2019s also the New York Times best-selling author of \u201cShe Comes First: The Thinking Man\u2019s Guide to Pleasuring a Woman.\u201d\nThe Sugars Recommend\n\u201cThe Metal Bowl,\u201d by Miranda July\n\u201cThe Erotic Mind,\u201d by Jack Morin
