Well hi all! Just joined and had to wait my 7 days before I would post or comment, so here goes.................... I adore role play ... everything from Dr's and Nurses (miss spent youth!) to everyday secretary type play. I know it's not for everyone, some people can't take it seriously, but one sub said they didn't want to as they felt it would be like hiding behind something??? Just curious as to any view on this comment or just role play in general. Oh and it's great to be here!!! Adam x | |

Perosnally it's a tranformation not a consealant. I become something that can't be seen and is only embodied by a behavioural change -- costumes can just appear as clothing. Rather than hiding I am baring a part of me to select others. I am still me just revealing a little bit more. Thread are like skirts. They should be long enough to cover the interesting details, but short enough to keep things interesting. Edited 7 Nov 08, 10:44 AM by Snowpard | |

I find role play of the kind the OP mentions very difficult. I just can't muster sufficient suspension of disbelief in order to unproblematically slip into it the way I could as an unashamed child. I'm more at the 'scenario' end of play - I'm always 'me', but the situation is contrived to suggest its own internal logic/scripts, if that makes sense. It's just like the Sixties. Except there's less hope. | |

I agree very much with this. When I am dressed up I feel like new facets of me are being explored its not being hidden its more of feeling of being exposed. It is about trust. Does your sub trust you enough to expose her imagination to you. Is she willing to take her mind into that space. She has to want to do it or it would never work. It is to me about feeling safe. If a dom makes you feel safe and sexy and gives you an outlet to fullfill him in this way it really can be mind blowing. Life is a biatch ... fuck her dont take her too seriously but love her with all your heart! Edited 7 Nov 08, 10:57 AM by twisted_kitty | |

I like role play. The grown-up little girl in me likes to explore different parts of myself through it. It's like going on a magic adventure with your partner and playing out different characters, all of which are essentially you, just different bits of you. It lets you play out different fantasies and fears in a safe place. | |

Yup! The last time I was with a guy that suggested we try it I couldn't keep a straight face. I also end up spending so much brain power on keeping in character that I lose my libido. I tend to just be myself, just letting the sub aspect of my personality (which is never that far from the surface, really) run riot. Even if I'm doing puppy type stuff it doesn't feel like role play, it just feels like a side of my personality that is somewhat dog-like - I'm not pretending to *be* a dog, just being, well, doggish!

This i can do but only if the WHOLE night is that way, if im to dress for a short time as whatever I do find it really hard to relax into it, but IF i know im coming home or arriving there to be as such and such, then it works. It is like a secret that lies within, noone else gets to see it or experience it and for a while I can be who I want to be and often say and do all the little things I have secretly wanted to do for years. It brings a complete different dynamic to the play, although only for a now and then occasion, I really do get a kick out of it

I like role play and dressing up for a scene add a whole new dimension and every time is different. Especially when the dom has a few new surprises to add to it whilst in character. In my pro sub life nearly every client likes a bit of roleplay whether it be maid, shoplifter, secretary or the perennial fave the naughty schoolgirl. Last week I was even the secretary who brought down the Lehmans bank as I had forgotten to send a fax lol! Edited 7 Nov 08, 1:03 PM by Tara_Red | |

To me it is simply acting of kind. Some fit into it straight away. Some need some coaxing. For others it's not them.
I like it and enjoy, any takers. God's gift - but don't expect it instantly. |
