The term fantasy sexual role play can evoke many things for many people. For some it’s a cliché scene between Tarzan and Jane, Batman and Robin, or Xena and Gabrielle. For others it brings back hot memories of the complicated and luscious roles taken on in the heat of passion. For many people sex fantasy role play is something that holds interest, but with trepidation.

Whether you’re an expert at swinging from the ceiling vines, or a nervous newcomer to the idea of dressing up and getting down, fantasy sexual role play opens a new world of sexual possibilities.

We don’t get to play nearly enough in our adult lives, and most of the socially acceptable forms of play are competitive, with someone always winning and someone else losing.

We even bring our social rules and restrictions into our sex lives, which can limit the kind of pleasure and exploration available to us.

Sexual fantasy role play is a wonderful way to free ourselves, temporarily, from the restrictions and responsibilities of our daily life, and take on the role of someone else. This week’s sex tip is all about exploring fantasy sexual role play. You don’t have to dive right in, but try and spend some time this week dipping your toes in the deep waters of sexual fantasies. Dream up a few sexual fantasy scenarios, pick a character or two, take some time to think about costumes and props .

Have fun!
