The event in which Adalind would look like Juliette and have sex with Nick, represents the fantasy. The aftermath and circumstances this incident would serve are the necessities of plot. Imagine a discussion in the writer's room where they say, "How can we steal Nick's powers and explore the drama resulting from that?" And in response, someone says, "Hey, I've got a naughty idea." The fantasy remains encapsulated in the act. Just like Nick's emotional relationship to the event remains seperate from the resulting drama, so to does the writerly approach to emotional fallout.
I know I said otherwise, but in thinking about this, I'm questioning my own earlier thought. I can't really say now that it is a male fantasy. Nick sincerely thought he was having great sex with Juliette.
Like I said before, it's not his fantasy, it's the writers. The whole thing is vicarious. Nick does believe he was having great sex with Juliette. Afterward, it will always remain great sex in his mind, even with new information. Which makes the aftermath more awkward. Nick's probably hoping Juliette doesn't sarcastically ask him something like, "How was it?".
