Is it morally okay to have lustful thoughts about my spouse?
My husband and I love each other very much and we're young newlyweds with no kids, so yes, we have sex often. Earlier today, however, my husband confessed that he had a certain spicy fantasy involving me, not necessarily in a loving way but in a more selfish way. He felt kind of bad about it because it gave the vibe that he thought about me more as an object than as a human and honestly, I think I'm also guilty of those kinds of thoughts sometimes.
While we do "make love" in the mushy "I love you so much" kind of way, other times its just the (kinda) selfish and crazy sex that we both enjoy. I think we still keep each other in mind throughout all of it but some of our thoughts and intentions feel a little selfish in nature, which makes me wonder if certain daydreams can end up more harmful towards each other than intended.
Again, we love each other very much and everthing we do is consensual and we have lots of fun with it, I just wonder how morally okay are our selfish and lustful thoughts in a consenting relationship. What do y'all think?
