‘O’ fantasies can be used by couples and individuals in many ways. People may imagine their ‘O’ fantasies and use them to become aroused during masturbation or discuss them with their partners. They might choose to act their ‘O’ fantasies out, replicating scenes between O and the men she interacts with. They might also like to write down their ‘O’ fantasies, either for private consumption or to be shared with others aroused by sadomasochistic material.
While ‘O’ fantasies have sadomasochistic themes and content, they are not only enjoyed by people within the BDSM community. These fantasies are also common among so-called vanilla individuals, especially those curious about BDSM practices.
