2. If yes, is it more about the costumes/activities, or is it more about actually inhabiting a role different from your day-to-day life and enjoying the theatrics? Or is it something else? Or do you even know?
3. What are your favorite role plays?
4. What ladies groove on role play? What ladies do guys on here recommend for this type of activity?
I have known for some time that Paulina Payne could have written the book on sensual domination and role play. I have learned quite recently that Yummy Marie is a novice at BDSM and role play, but with incredible instincts and enthusiasm for it.
I'll go first:
1. I LOVE role play, mostly in D/s mode with me as the sub.
2. The costumes can be great fun, and the activities, especially the "taboo" ones, can be very physically stimulating. But for me, the thing I find most exciting is playing a role opposite or oblique to my normal one, and learning something about myself or others in the process. It can feel VERY real to me.
3. I have tried a number of role plays over the years, but my 2 current favorites are:
a. Widower who always harbored BDSM fantasies, but wife wasn't interested. Younger (but mature) coworker invites him to lunch and subsequently back to her apartment. They begin to make out when she whispers in his ear that she likes him, but she is sexually dominant. Her instincts tell her he'd like to be submissive to a dominant woman. If she is right, and if he wants to proceed further, he has to agree to do whatever she tells him in the bedroom, but that if he does, she will expand his horizons and teach him an expanded definition of pleasure.
b. Guy has a bisexual female friend who has not been a lover. One day she tells him he is a good guy, but he just doesn't understand how women tick and to what degree he as a male is advantaged in society. He takes her seriously, but says how can he learn? She says she will help him if he is willing to take on a female role in private with her. It will include a willingness to submit to whatever she asks of him, including wearing stockings and lingerie in the bedroom with her, and stockings and panties under his work clothes. He'll need to agree to have her use a strap-on on him so that he understands what it is like to be the receptive one sexually. He will learn to be her Lesbian lover and learn to love her as a woman truly wants to be loved. And she will play with his pain/pleasure boundary so that he can learn to perceive increasingly intense sensations as pleasure, a metaphor for achieving success by the female characteristic of adapting rather than the usual male characteristic of opposing. Etc., etc.
