Quicksand fantasies are a peril-oriented variant of mudlarking in which the person imagines himself or his/her partner sinking inexorably into quicksand. Closely related to STUCK, quicksand fantasies are generally inspired by scenes in old popular films. "real" quicksand is not only dfficult to find, it generally is not at all as dangerous as the fantasies would have you believe.
