Top 10 Toys to Try for Role-playing

Roleplay often involves costumes, but it doesn't have to. You can talk dirty, pretend you don't know each other, or act out a role you have always fantasized about. Costumes can help you get into the position. However, role play doesn't require as much preparation all the time. Roleplaying in bed is all about exploring and acting out fantasies that you usually wouldn't engage in or experience.

What Does Roleplay mean?

When you roleplay, you and your partner take on different roles. You can pretend to be a superhero and a damsel in distress, a professor with a naughty student, or a romantic stranger. You can wear costumes, use props, and immerse yourself into your role as much as you want. The fun thing about role play is that you can be whoever you want to be.

Why Do People Enjoy Roleplay?

There are many reasons why people enjoy role play, such as:

It allows you to escape from reality and explore life outside your regular habits.

It can shake things up and give you that "new" feeling in your sex life.

It can build intimacy through playing vulnerable roles and sharing sexy ideas.

How to Bring Up Roleplay To Your Partner?

Like many things in the bedroom, communication is essential for role play. If you drop into a role without your partner's consent, they may become confused or turned off. You can make the conversation about roleplay sexy.

Ultimately, it's a good thing! You want to get sexy and creative with your partner. However, don't push the idea if they aren't into it.

So, how can you bring it up? Find a way to make a good segway. If you ordered delivery recently, you can say something like, "Wouldn't it be hot if I was the delivery guy?" and take it from there. If you enjoyed a yoga class or video, ask your partner if they would enjoy doing a sexy yoga role play. Finding a real-life relationship for your desired role play is a fun way to broach the topic.

If your desired roleplay doesn't have a real-life counterpart, try talking about it as a dream or daydream. "Wow, I had this hot dream last night that you were a rockstar, and I was your adoring fan who got to sleep with you." Or "Today, I was just daydreaming about how hot it would be if you tied me up!"

How to Decide What Roleplay to Do?

Find out what both you and your partner think is hot. Talking about different ideas is a great way to see which ones get the juices flowing the most. You can also look up role play ideas online to see if anything sparks your interest.

You may want to base a play session on your favorite fictional characters, real-life scenarios, something taboo, something kinky, or something else entirely. The great thing about role play is that you can explore almost anything, as long as both parties are into it.

Setting Boundaries With Roleplay

Some role plays are about sensitive topics. Others may involve BDSM activities. That's why you need to set boundaries and use a safe word when engaging in role-playing. When you select a safeword, all play stops when you say that word. Everyone then returns to their usual self to check-in.

Examples of boundaries you can set include:

How long the role play will last
Words you don't want used to refer to yourself
Physical acts you don't want to do
Types of role play that you don't enjoy
What the safe word will be

Role Play Ideas for Beginners

Some of the most common role play ideas include:

Doctor/patient
Nurse/patient
Boss/secretary
College professor/student
Roommates
Fitness instructor/client
Landlord/tenant
Maid/boss

As you can see, many of these ideas play on power structures. There is usually one character in charge and one who is more submissive. Some role plays morph this narrative by having the typical "underdog" lead. For example, you could try a role play where a naughty secretary gets her boss wrapped around her little finger and takes control.

Advanced Roleplay Ideas

Roleplay ideas for the experienced connoisseur might include bondage activities, strap-on, cross-dressing, even cuckolding. Some people also enjoy age play, in which one person plays a role that is usually younger than their current age.

You can pretend you're beasts having the first romp in the hay. You can wear elaborate costumes with your partner that are just as much fun to make as they are to wear. Once you're comfortable playing a role, the opportunities are limitless. If you can think of it, you can make it a function.

Benefits of Role-playing

The main benefit of roleplaying is the sexy fun it brings to your sex life! You can do it anywhere, anytime. While it can involve sex toys or costumes, all you genuinely need to role-play is you and a partner. You don't always have to be in the same room. You can initiate a hot role play over text, a phone call, or a video chat.

One of the top benefits of roleplaying is that you get to live out your fantasies. Finding someone you can role play with can make your relationship more robust and intimate.

Roleplaying Risks

It's important to note that some role plays, like familial ones and age play, are taboo and can bring emotional trauma. They can also make someone feel uncomfortable, especially if it's their first time trying that particular role play.

You may not know you don't like something until you try it. That's why it's essential to play with people you trust and who know you well.

Additionally, there may be other behaviors that require special safety knowledge like bondage or corporal punishment with role play. Make sure you read up on how to play safely in these roles.

As with anything in the bedroom, communicate with your partner about your sexual health. Take any safe sex measures that make you or your partner feel safe and comfortable, like using dental dams or condoms for specific sex acts.
