Abbey Clancy opened up about her personal fantasy during a recent episode of her podcast with husband and former Liverpool star Peter Crouch. On The Therapy Crouch, the couple spoke with sex educator Alix Fox about the rise of fantasy-themed adult products and the ways television and literature influence modern sexual imagination.
During the conversation, Clancy and Crouch explored a selection of unconventional fantasy-style items, including products modeled on tentacles and mythical creatures. Fox explained that fantasy elements have become increasingly popular in adult products due to the influence of media and erotica. “People are more curious about fantasy, monsters, and mythical beings because of books, TV shows, and other stories,” Fox said.
Clancy admitted that some of the products felt intimidating and described the kind of fantasy she prefers. “They’re a bit scary. I want the prince on the horse more,” she said. Fox praised her candor and self-awareness. “It’s impressive how you know what you like and what you don’t while remaining curious. That is a positive attitude toward sex,” she said. Clancy added that she is comfortable discussing intimate topics and maintains clear personal boundaries. “I’m not a prude. I’m open to all discussions,” she said.
The discussion highlighted a broader cultural shift toward openness about sexual exploration. Fox described sex positivity as a framework centered on pleasure, curiosity, and personal boundaries. “Being sex positive does not mean being open to everything. Everyone has their own tastes and limits,” she explained.
Retailers have noted a surge in fantasy-themed adult products. Lovehoney reported a 244 percent increase in sales, linking the trend to popular entertainment. Fox said shows like Game of Thrones and fantasy romance novels such as A Court of Thorns and Roses have shaped the imagination of adults seeking dramatic and imaginative experiences. “For some, the thrill comes from imagining a scenario with something larger or more powerful than themselves,” she said.
Clancy shared a lighthearted example of her own media-inspired fantasy, recalling how she imagined her husband as a Viking after watching the series Vikings. “I would love you to get jealous. The only time you got jealous was when I was watching that Viking thing,” she joked.
Clancy and Crouch, married since 2006 with four children, have become more open about their personal lives since launching their podcast in 2023. Their conversations combine humor, honesty, and a willingness to explore intimate topics, offering a rare window into the private lives of a public couple.
