Fantasy is the most cogent argument for determinism. You don't choose the couplings in your head. They come to you first hesitantly and then in more full-blown form, a display of imagery fit for a king or despot depending on the fantasy. Of course, there's the free will crowd who discountenance the effect libertinage has on others. The fact is, everything manifests for a reason and has consequences that are determined by the effect these behaviors have on others. Fantasy itself is naturally a complex issue that can be deconstructed.The beautiful princess in the tower classically dreams of being rescued by her knight in shining armor but her more repressed wish may be to be rescued by a damsel or lady boy or simply be hung out to dry. Not everyone is going to be excited by the same scenario. While it's easy to blame the ferocity of images that tarnish imaginative freedom, it's important to realize that people ultimately only see and hear what they want.
