Detailed Explanation
Role play is an umbrella term for types of fantasy play that focuses on the dynamic between the participants in a fictional scenario. The roles being played and the scenarios are highly diverse and range from pretend scenarios all the way to enacting real life situations. Often there is a power imbalance that is played out these kinds of scenarios between a Bottom and Top.
In types of role play include but are not limited to:
- Doctor or nurse / patient
- Teacher / student
- Police officer / criminal
- Boss / employee
- Client / stripper or sex worker
- Handyman / housewife
- Photographer / model
- Homeowner / maid
- Daddy or Mommy / little
- Human / Animal
In more extreme cases CNC (Consensual Non-Consent), rape play, abduction play and other scenarios that look for the edge can be considered role play. However understandably there are a lot more risks involved there. Role play is not always super serious - the limit is your imagination and your ability to manage your limits and consent well.
