Sexual Roleplay

You can’t tell me you’ve never had a sexual fantasy – I think we’ve all had them, right? I know I have!

Whether it’s an authority figure ripping your clothes off as things get steamy or even surviving a post apocalyptic world with a sexy savior you end up having hot, messy sex with – whatever your fantasy, you’re not alone!

Sexual roleplay is a great way to act these fantasies out. Plus, it spices up your sex life and makes sex even more exciting.

This article will tell you everything you need to know about sexy role play, whether you’re new to the idea or are looking for some fresh ideas to inspire you.

What is Sexual Roleplay?

When I mention role play, I’m not talking about a virtual reality computer game, although those are fun too. I’m talking about sexual role play where two people (or more if you prefer) play different characters to act out sexy scenarios.

People can use sexual role play in a lighthearted way or act out elaborate scenarios with backstories, costumes, and props. It’s up to you how far you want to take it. In my experience, putting your all into it and immersing yourself in your chosen character makes it more fun!

The topics of sexual role play can vary greatly. For some people, role play scenarios are a way to explore fantasies. For others, the theme of the roleplay can be part of BDSM power dynamics.

Any consenting adult can enjoy role play, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, age, or abilities. It’s completely inclusive!

Why Do People Enjoy Roleplay?

The most obvious reason people enjoy roleplay is because it’s fun! But there are lots of other reasons too.

Sexual role play can be a form of stress relief. It lets you step outside yourself and your daily life, taking on a completely new persona. It’s like leaving your worries at the door for a while and being in your own secret little fantasy world! Who doesn’t want that?

Role play lets you try new things, perhaps even exploring ‘taboo’ kinks and fetishes that you might not otherwise feel comfortable bringing up. Some people find it increases their confidence and allows them to discover new sides of themselves.

I find that role play can be a great way to experiment with different BDSM roles in the bedroom. It’s important to note here that when we’re talking about ‘control’, ‘submission’, or ‘power play’, everything is done consensually.

For some people, roleplaying enhances intimacy within relationships. It’s no surprise really, because it requires such open communication and trust.

If you’re in a long-term relationship, your sex life might have become a bit repetitive or boring. Don’t worry – that’s not uncommon and there are lots of ways to get the spark back! For many couples, role play is a way to spice up their sex life.

23 Sexy Roleplay Ideas

So, now that we know the basics of sexual role play, let’s take a look at some ideas to inspire your sexy adventures.

1. Master and Slave or Boss and Employee

If you love the idea of power and submission, this one is for you! Maybe the boss needs to ‘punish’ their employee because they haven’t been doing their job properly (think putting you over the desk and spanking you).

Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. It may not be the boss who is the one in charge in this roleplay! Maybe you’re in an office and one of you is the secretary who has always wanted to seduce the boss.

You could transform a room into an office with a desk and paperwork, and get dressed in sexy work outfits to match your character!

2. Authority Figures

I think most of us have had some sort of fantasy about a sexy authority figure taking the lead and seducing us, right? I know I have! The options are countless – there are doctors, police officers, or any character who is naturally ‘in charge’ adds an exciting layer to your roleplay.

Role play involving an authority figure allows you to act out scenarios involving rules and discipline. So, if you’re into BDSM or like the idea of power play, these scenarios are perfect for you!

3. Plumber

Oh no! You’ve got a leak and you’re all wet – you need a plumber with skilled hands and incredible tools to come and save the day!

This roleplay is a classic, and it’s great fun. Maybe you find each other irresistibly attractive or perhaps you can’t pay so you’re going to offer sexual favors instead. There are so many options!

4. Erotic Massage Therapist

Roleplaying as an erotic massage therapist focuses on themes of intimacy and trust. It’s sensual, and it’s sexy. I love involving a beautiful smelling oil in this sort of play – an oily body looks so hot and it feels amazing to have your partner’s hands rubbing oil all over your skin.

I recommend setting the mood with dim lighting and soothing music to make the experience even more sensual!

5. Maid or Butler

You’re a maid or a butler in a historic time, serving someone royal and sexy. Or maybe it’s the other way around and you’re the one who is royalty! This type of roleplay is great for exploring submissive and dominant dynamics.

Maybe whoever is playing the maid or butler has been naughty – they haven’t done their job and need to be ‘punished’. Or you’ve both been eyeing each other for weeks, so you can’t resist the sexual tension anymore!

6. A Stranger

The idea of meeting a stranger and feeling that instant spark of attraction is undeniably exciting. And you don’t have to cheat to experience it! You can both role play strangers who meet by chance and decide to let your desires lead the way. Maybe you meet at a local bar and begin flirting with each other, for example.

I highly recommend going back to a hotel room rather than your home (especially if you live together). It adds a whole new level to the role play and helps to keep you in the moment.

7. Pilot or Captain

Have you ever imagined joining the mile-high club? Perhaps you role play a flight attendant or passenger and pilot. You just can’t control your sexual urges so need to have fun in the plane bathroom or cockpit!

Or how about being on a boat and being called to the captain’s office? When you get there, things turn sexy quickly!

This is one of those role play scenarios that allows for plenty of imagination and some amazing outfits if you can get your hands on them.

8. Best Friends Turned Lovers

The idea of best friends discovering they’re attracted to each other is an incredibly common one. There are plenty of romantic movies about it. There’s the iconic love story of ‘Brokeback Mountain’, or ‘No Strings Attached’ where Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher take their friendship to the next level.

It’s a fun one to role play and leaves plenty of room for interpretation. Your character can have any personality, life, job, and outfit that you choose!

9. Sex Worker and Client

One of you is a sex worker, and the other is a client. Perhaps it’s the client’s first time with a sex worker and they need to be guided.

I like this role play scenario for beginners, because sex is very obviously already in the picture, which can make it a bit easier to get into. This can also work well for long-distance couples, as you could role play as an adult webcam model via video call.

10. Neighbors

Have you ever lived somewhere and an attractive neighbor has caught your eye? Or perhaps you’ve fantasized about living next door to someone famous you have a crush on and becoming their lover? There are so many options with this scenario! If your fantasy involves two women, our lesbian sex article will give you plenty of inspiration to turn that desire into reality.

Maybe one of you notices the other sunbathing, or you forget to close the curtains while changing clothes. Have fun with it and adapt it to suit your desires.

11. Guard and Inmate

If you’re looking for a role play scenario that allows for power dynamics, the guard and intimate is the perfect option! You’ve got handcuffs, keys, and potentially even punishment tools (think spanking and other forms of impact play).

One of you has full control, and the other is at their ‘mercy’. As an added bonus, there’s lots of potential for sexy outfits.

12. Pirates and Captives

Ever wanted to act out “Pirates of the Caribbean”? Well this is your chance! Think dramatic scenes, sexy pirate outfits, and the opportunity to play with power dynamics – what more could you want? Get ready for some sexy adventures on the high seas!

13. Fantasy Creatures

If you want to get away from ‘real life’, a role play with magical, made-up creatures like tentacle monsters could be ideal for you. You can go into your own fantasy world with no limits to the characters you can play.

You could role play as vampires, werewolves, mermaids, fairies, or any other creatures your heart desires!

14. Time Travelers

Ever wanted to travel through time? Picture fun historic outfits and breathtaking sex. Or futuristic costumes and brand new sex toys that blow your mind! Maybe you’ve transitioned into a different universe where everyone looks super sexy and is free to explore their fantasies! The world is yours to interpret however you want!

15. Outdoorsy Sex Scenes

If you’ve ever fantasized about having sex outdoors, this is a fun way to experiment with the idea. You could be farm workers having a sexy roll in the hay, or lovers camping under the stars. Maybe you went on a hike and couldn’t wait until you got home to rip each other’s clothes off!

As someone who has had their fair share of outdoor sex, I can confirm that in the right setting, it can be intensely passionate. Just make sure you don’t do it anywhere you could get caught.

16. Risky Rendez-vous

Speaking of getting caught, if the idea of risk gets your blood pumping, this one is for you. Roleplaying secret encounters in public spaces adds an exhilarating layer of adventure to roleplay scenarios. Whether it’s a quick fuck in the car or  in a another hidden corner of a city, it can be truly thrilling. And if car sex turns you on, check out these car sex positions, that will make you both want to try them asap.

How much actual risk you involve is up to you. Of course, we don’t recommend actually getting caught as we don’t want you to get into trouble (that’s not sexy).

17. Your First Time

Remember how it felt to first discover sex and all of its pleasures? Maybe you want to relive that again. If your first time wasn’t what you wanted it to be, maybe this could be a way to ‘re-do’ it and have a second chance. Nostalgia can be a powerful tool! You and your partner can reconnect with your younger selves and the innocence of your first experiences.

18. Monarchy Fantasies and Historical Figures

Have you seen the series ‘Bridgeton’? If so, don’t tell me you’ve never fantasized about being at one of their balls or being seduced by ‘the duke’. What about that sex scene with Colin and Penelope? It was so hot!

Monarchy-themed roleplay allows you to immerse yourself in this world, or one that’s similar. You can use props, fancy outfits, and embody a regal character to make it more realistic.

19. Yogi Master and Student

Perhaps you’re enjoying some slow erotic sex between master and student, focusing on intimacy and sensual exploration. Alternatively, you could be a student and yoga teacher wearing sexy tight yoga outfits who get carried away after class. You can try different yoga poses, like downward dog, which nicely leads you into doggy style!

20. Professor and Student

The professor/teacher and student dynamic is great for power play. Teacher character is more experienced and wise while the student is young, sexy, and needs some guidance.

There are so many scenes you can act out – have sex on the professor’s desk or in an empty lecture room! Or maybe the student drops into the professor’s office after hours for some one-on-one ‘tutoring’.

21. Delivery Person

This is another great option for beginners, because it doesn’t require many props, special outfits, or a new location. The delivery person has an important package to deliver, and the homeowner is ready and willing to welcome them inside!

Maybe the character accepting the package is home alone and needs some special attention, or offers a unique tip instead of money.

22. Fire fighter and Survivor

Fantasies involving firefighters are common – I’ve had plenty. I don’t know what it is about the uniform, but it’s incredibly sexy! The uniforms are fairly easy to get your hands on, although it can be trickier to get a realistic one. It’s worth the effort though (I speak from experience).

Perhaps your fireperson saves you from a burning building and carries you away to safety (and to sexual ecstasy). Get creative with it and have fun!

23. Cheaters

The good news is, you can fulfill a cheating fantasy without actually cheating by role playing it with your partner! You can combine this idea with other role play scenarios on this list.

The whole idea of role play is to get into a new character. So not only are you ‘becoming someone else’, but you’re also having sex with ‘someone else’ other than your partner. It’s thrilling and refreshing!

Tips For Exploring Role Play

If you’re considering exploring role play for the first time, I’ve included some top tips below to guide you:

  • Consent and communication: The most important tip I can give you is to talk to your partner. Discuss each other’s boundaries and desires. You need to be on the same page and both consent to any role play or sexual activity you engage in.

  • Use protection: Yes, even during role play protection is important. Whether it’s condoms, birth control, or dental dams, stay safe to keep things fun!

  • Use a safe word: Speaking of safe, having a safe word is vital. Choose a word that you wouldn’t typically use during sex or in day-to-day conversation. If either partner says this word during the role play, break character and stop what you’re doing.

  • Experiment: Play around with different role play characters and ideas. It takes time to figure out what turns you both on and what feels right.

  • Don’t take it too seriously: If you’re new to roleplay, you might feel a bit silly at first. You may not know what to say or how to act. Try not to overthink it. Have a giggle with your partner and be silly about it. It doesn’t have to be serious – you’re not trying to win an Oscar for acting here. You’re just trying to have a good time.

  • Start simple: You don’t need to come up with elaborate scenes or buy expensive outfits and props to start with. Begin with more simple concepts and things you have around the house to see if you enjoy it first.

  • Involve toys, props, and costumes: When you’re ready you can introduce toys, props, and costumes to your role play to immerse yourself in the characters you’ve chosen.

  • Aftercare: Afterward, take some to check in with your partner and chat about how it went. I like to use this time to talk about what we enjoyed and what we want to change next time. It’s also a great time for cuddles and reconnection.

Final Thoughts: Sexual Role Play Is Hot!

Sexual role play can add a new level of excitement and connection to your relationship. It’s a fantastic way to make your sex life more interesting and explore your deepest fantasies.

Remember to chat with your partner and experiment together. You might find roleplay opens your mind to a whole world of sexual exploration. So why not give it a try and see where your imagination takes you?
