What struggles does the wife share about her fantasies?

Dawn 1:17
Well, I am doing okay.
Dr. John Delony 1:18
All right. So what's up?
Dawn 1:19
I'm talking to you, so... Some would say not okay, but... All right.
Dr. John Delony 1:25
What's up?
Dawn 1:26
Um... Well, I am struggling with a decision that I know is morally wrong. I am a new Christian, so I'm finding my path there. And I know that this is morally wrong, but I feel like I still want to explore it. I feel... like very turned on and very attracted about the idea of my husband being with another woman.
Dr. John Delony 2:00
Okay. And you, and you, and you participating, you watching you being there or just the idea of it happening?
Dawn 2:06
Um, a little bit of all of the above. I don't know if I necessarily want to watch, but the idea of him being with someone else is very attractive to me. I've talked to him about potentially having an open marriage. Um, But, like, I don't want to bring another man into it. Like, I have a zero desire to be with anybody else.
Dr. John Delony 2:26
The way you just said it's like, I don't want another man. Like, men are gross.
Dawn 2:31
You know, a lot of them are. Hey, trust me.
Dr. John Delony 2:34
Yes, you're correct. So, dig into this with me, okay? Okay. So, jealousy can be a powerful, powerful aphrodisiac. Is this about a sense of aliveness and jealousy and your heart rate would get up and there'd be this moment of like, or tell me more about it. What, like when you picture this in your mind or maybe you don't even picture it in your mind, but you, you go through the exercise of, tell me about it.
Dawn 3:12
Well, I'm not sure if it's a, jealousy thing, um, or maybe, maybe it is once I describe it, it's, it's also kind of the idea of another woman finds my husband attractive and wants to be with my husband. And that is a really big compliment to me because I, then I just kind of look at it as though like, Hey, someone else wants to be with my husband and I am lucky enough that he chose me and that I get to be with him all the time.

How does John Delony respond to the wife's feelings?

Dr. John Delony 3:54
And there's also a power dynamic where you get to give him permission. Oh, like almost as you're not as much as your control over him, as much as you're in control of the other woman's desire.
Dawn 4:09
Oh, I didn't even think about that.
Dr. John Delony 4:12
Because it sounds like your husband in this exchange is the variable. He's the pawn in the chess game. The chess match is actually between you and other women.
Dawn 4:24
Interesting.
Dr. John Delony 4:26
And this may be the most amazing conversation to have with a baby in the background.
Dawn 4:31
I was trying to keep him quiet.
Dr. John Delony 4:33
No, it happens. It's life.
Dawn 4:35
He's not even two.
Dr. John Delony 4:36
No, no, no. It makes this conversation even more rich because why not? Right. Exactly. So tell me about that. Let me ask you this. Where do you feel powerless with other women in your life?
Dawn 4:51
Oh, God. with other women specifically, um, that's going to be, I, I feel like a little bit of that is my mom, um, feeling powerless there, but that's not, I'm not quite sure if that's, that's some of it. Um, let's see, as far as powerless with other women, let me ask you, let me ask a deeper question. Yeah.
