A ménage à trois and intimacy outside the bedroom are sexual fantasies that we’ve all heard before.

But what about having sex in a desert, or even a storage unit? These are just two of the unusual sexual fantasies social media users have confessed to trying.

A hilarious Reddit thread, named ‘what is a sexual fantasy you do not recommend’, features the bizarre sexcapades of commenters — many of who bitterly regret their risqué acts.

The thread began with a question from user u/Fantastic-Ant-4429, who asked: ‘What is a sexual fantasy you do not recommend fulfilling?’

Having sex in the desert, a library and on a plane were some of the most upvoted responses, Huffpost reported. 

Reddit user u/ElPresidente714 admitted to trying to have sex in the desert at night when coming back from Vegas. But in reality, they were met with ‘creepy crawly desert things don’t sleep at night’.

Another, u/DonSmitty said a ‘buddy in high school’ covered his girlfriend (including her genitals) in chocolate syrup. But it didn’t end well — she got infected with a ‘crazy’ yeast infection. 

Doing it in a storage unit was another unusual fantasy which ended badly. User u/isthisfark wrote: ‘There’s a closing time and if you miss it you’ll get stuck behind the gates for the night. Then the people who live there start rustling.’

Not everyone pursues or even plans to act on their sexual fantasies in real life. But a handful of those who have tried to make their browser history a reality have confessed they didn't quite go to plan — a thread on Reddit revealed

One commenter u/hot-snake-70 confessed they found out the hard way that it ‘stings’ if you put your penis ‘in a glass of red wine’.

Threesomes were also suggested to be a bad idea with user u/Touristupdatenola adding: ‘If I wanted to disappoint two people simultaneously, I’d have dinner with both my parents.’

Another user u/odysseus-23, warned against trying to have sex in a library due to the likelihood of getting ‘caught on the cameras’.

And while joining the Mile High Club — engaging in sex acts while aboard an airplane — might sound exciting, some warn that it is anything but. 

‘Mile high club. Trust me, these bathrooms are getting smaller and smaller. And people notice, they always notice,’ u/bigindianenergy29 commented. 

Some people came to the conclusion that the bed is the best location. u/Mundane-Garbage1003 wrote: ‘Most “having sex in an unusual place” fantasies in my experience quickly turn into a lesson on why people usually just use the bed.’ 

In September, adult video site Clips4Sale published the intriguing findings of its analysis of the changing preferences of 250,000 daily website visitors.

The analysis revealed a whole host of obscure fantasies held by its users, including BBL — a preference for women who’ve undergone buttock-enlargement procedures — and Giantess, which describes a female giant.

Brits are among the most prolific porn users in the world, with an average of 16,600,000 searches for adult content made each month. 

The adult film industry is estimated to be worth more than £15billion a year. 

While thousands of British men and women watch and enjoy pornography without issue, about one in 20 Brits have a porn addiction. 

In some of the most extreme cases, experts have treated patients who watch x-rated content for up to 14 hours a day, according to not-for-profit online therapy programme Pivotal Recovery. 

However, Many suffers understandably avoid seeking professional help out of shame and embarrassment for their affliction or fear of exposure.
