Fantasies: Should They Stay That Way?

On C day, I wrote a confession piece about a crush I have on an older man.  I fantasize about being with this man and doing things physically with him, but I also feel that this is a fantasy that should never become a reality.

Not all fantasies should stay fantasies, though.  I know many people in this community have experimented with their own fantasies--threesomes, bondage clubs, spanking parties, exhibitionism, etc...

My questions for my readers are:  Do you have any fantasies that you've made realities?  What were they and did they go how you expected?  Do you have any fantasies that you regret bringing to real life?

If you don't usually comment, I would really appreciate a comment on this one, because I am genuinely interested in the variety of responses.

My answer to my own question would be:  yes, I have fulfilled some of my fantasies in real life.  My husband spanking and disciplining me is one of them, and I sure as hell don't regret that one.  But there have been other fantasies that didn't go as planned or weren't as good as I thought.  I have had someone else spank me who was not my husband, and, though it was a good spanking, I missed the emotional connection that I have with my husband, and I felt rather depressed afterward.

I learned that being spanked by someone who doesn't care for you is not at all the same as the passion and emotion that comes from being spanked by someone who loves you.  I don't really regret living out this fantasy, because I think it was an important lesson for me to learn.  If I hadn't done it, I would probably still be wondering what it would be like to be spanked by another man.

That being said, I still wonder what it would be like to be spanked by a woman, but that's a fantasy for another day :)

I look forward to your responses!
