Details can help you get deeper into a sexual role play scenario. Often we get stuck, or feel silly, because weve started to role play but dont know where to go.
Take this example
Youve decided to play a graduate student and your partner is going to be a professor. Its the day of your big oral defense. This scenario is full of potential: power dynamics, opportunity for sexual bribery, a May-December sexual tryst, plenty of oral defense puns.
But, if you dont know what your research area is, or you dont know whether you are a brilliant student being cut down by a sexy and overbearing professor, or a grad student who has slept their way to the top, and intends to do the very same tonight, you cant get very far into the scenario.
Once youve come up with a character that strikes your fancy, start to think about the overall scenario, and answer some of these questions:
- What is the physical setting? If youre indoors, what kind of room (big, small, dark, brightly lit).
- What time of day is it?
- Are there other people nearby, are you in a public place, or completely secluded where no one will hear you scream (with pleasure)?
- Whats the story? Why are you there, and (aside from the sex) whats going to happen?
Filling in the details can not only give you more ideas for the sex part of the fantasy, but it can really help get you in character and make the role play come to life.
