Sexual Roleplay and You
You Be the Nurse, I’ll Be the Patient:
How To Strengthen Your Relationship Through Role Playing
What do you think of when you hear role-playing? Do you imagine two people acting as different characters from a movie scene to try out some twisted fantasy? Maybe she’s Harley Queen, and he’s the Joker. Maybe someone’s a mad scientist, or he’s lost on an island filled with women who kill men after using them to reproduce. But role-play doesn’t need to be extreme to be fun. Even small changes can add a little something to the bedroom.
Role-playing is quite popular for play and learning, from the adult movie industry to teaching, and even in therapy. Sexual role-play gives couples the opportunity to explore new ideas and this makes the bond between both partners stronger.
Continue reading to see how role-playing can help improve your bond with your better half and lead to an exciting experience.
A fresh perspective
One classic way to bond is role-reversal. If one partner is typically takes the initiative to start or direct sex, try swapping roles. If your partner usually guides what kind of sex the two of you have, consider taking the lead yourself. Even something as simple as speaking up or making a decision about what you want can add spice if you are typically more passive.
Similarly, if you are typically the person calling the shots, or requesting specific acts during sex, maybe taking a backseat will offer you the chance to understand what your partner wants or might like to try. Even if it is something you’ve done a hundred or a thousand times, hearing your partner ask for it (or demand it!) can be very sexy.
Light that fire
If you have a regular “road” to sex, which you follow with your partner, role-playing could be beneficial for a change. Stop #1 - a kiss. Stop #2 - some groping. Stop #3 … you get the picture.
A good one would be for one partner to act like a cop and take his lover into custody for an offense. On getting to the “cell,” (the bedroom) the ‘cop’ cuffs their lover to the bed and has their way. You could try this out or tweak it to suit you and your partner. You can use fake names, and fake crimes. Just decide ahead of time what acts, names, and activities are OK or not OK.
Other popular role play ideas could be one partner as a god or goddess, whom the other partner must worship and “appease.” One partner could also act as a nurse while the other is a patient who needs care and attention to recover. Both scenarios allow either partner to take the lead.
Offer to act out your partner’s fantasy with them. This is a great opportunity to learn more about what they like and what turns them on.
Role-playing strengthens communication
Talking to your partner about how you feel, communicating your deepest fantasy, and acting it out requires a great deal of trust and communication. Knowing that the other person would not picture you as “weird” for asking unlocks a whole new level of communication and trust.
A study in the Journal Of Palliative Medicine highlights how effective communication skills can be taught using role play. Although it might not deal directly with romantic relationships, effective communication is foundational for all relationships.
Role-playing eases tension
When partners have been involved in a certain activity for a while, both parties tend to engage in it seamlessly. Be it reading together, occasional picnics, or some quiet time, there will be little fuss when doing it. The same goes for role-playing.
Frequent role-play can be fun for both partners. With time, role-play could even become an activity that both of you begin to look forward to. Spice things up by recreating scenes from some of your favorite movies or fairytales while growing up.
Role-playing reveals feelings
When acting out during role play, there is a level of freedom and spontaneity that you do not get on a regular day from your partner. Now that they have opened up to you and trust you, some really affectionate thoughts could be expressed which you never knew they felt.
Conclusion
If you’ve got someone special with whom you feel a connection, try role-play with them. We all know everyone has a fantasy that they wish to try out. Feel free to open up to your partner and see how much your relationship could improve.
