Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meanings attributed to sexual fantasies by female college students, building upon the method of analysis of sexual scripts. Inventories and individual interviews will be used. The analysis of the interviews will be conducted through the eyes of sexuality from a historical and political perspective, considering its intrapsychic and interpersonal aspects. The study aims to contribute with ideas, that assist practices in diagnosis, therapy and prevention of sexuality disorders. (AU)
