What is the religious ruling regarding a wife who imagines sexual scenarios with unknown individuals during intercourse in order to reach satisfaction, and is this considered a form of betrayal?
First: Sexual fantasies are thoughts that occur to most people, especially young individuals, and they are forgiven as long as one does not speak of them or act upon them. Second: Forbidden sexual fantasies that are voluntarily invoked: The first opinion (prohibition): Asserts that conjuring forbidden images during intercourse is a type of adultery. The second opinion (permissibility): Holds that it does not fall within the scope of contemplating or intending sin. The most preponderant opinion: The dislike of these fantasies for the following reasons: 1. They may turn into a psychological disorder that diminishes natural pleasure. 2. They open a door to forbidden acts and accustom the eye to viewing them. 3. They often arise from viewing forbidden content via satellite channels. 4. They may lead to the spouses losing interest in each other.
Tips for getting rid of them: 1. Avoiding everything that incites them, such as forbidden films and scenes. 2. Maintaining the prescribed remembrance (adhkar), especially the supplication for intercourse. 3. Focusing on the present pleasure with the partner. 4. Imagining how you would feel if your partner were doing that. 5. Consulting psychological specialists.
