Cordelia is here with some sex education about the fetish around roleplaying.

Role playing is one of the most popular fetishes out there. And it’s a great way to spice up your love life! Like other fetishes, there isn’t just one set way to do this. You can commit as much or as little as you like and it’s still something fun and different.

Traditional Roleplays

Traditional role plays are the most popular and probably the easiest way to get into role playing, this is the more basic stuff you hear about a lot like the teacher/student or doctor/nurse. They’re an easy way to start off and then allow you to get an idea if you enjoy role playing or not. From there, you can (if you wish) build into more complicated role play sessions. Usually these role plays take place between a couple but some couples like to add more people into their scene. A lot of the time, these role plays start as sexual fantasies that turn into fetishes. During these role plays, the couple will dress up as a different person that they’re fantasizing about. Role play is something you can do from your home/personal bedroom where you’re just dressing up and taking on a different persona, or it could be as intense as going out to a public place like a bar or hotel and meeting “for the first time”

Unusual Roleplays

There more “unusual” role play’s out there as well. They’re not recognized nearly as much as the more popular ones like I listed above but that doesn’t make them any less desirable for those engaging. These role play’s can get more intense and more involved than some of the more basic scenes. But remember, you set the pace of your scene! Just like anything else, safe words should be used and communication should be key. Some couples will go as far as putting things in writing. Again, this isn’t something I would recommend doing unless you trust your partner. Some of the more unusual role play scenes I found were ageplay (this is super taboo still and I intend on doing a blog about this soon.), pet/owner, and incest, even gender reversal.

Role playing allows one or both partners to act out a fantasy of theirs without actually having to take part – so for example, if you fantasize about your doctor? You don’t actually want to sleep with a medical professional in the office because of the legal repercussions that can happen, instead, you take it to the bedroom with your partner. Often enough, this is enough to settle the fantasy.

I highly encourage role playing.

I’ve done it, it’s a lot of fun and can really connect you to your partner. Hear them out and listen to what they like and what they’re interested in. Most importantly, don’t judge them for it.
