Doctor and patient. Pup and handler. Daddy and girl. Kidnapper and victim. Roleplay is a key ingredient in many types of kinky play. It can be combined with sex or other kinds of play like bondage or impact. Roleplay tells a story, often including a power imbalance, that enhances chemistry and connection between players.
In this class, you will learn practical strategies to identify and develop your fantasies into roleplay scenes. We’ll explore how to get in touch with your desire, how to negotiate for safer and mutually-satisfying scenes, and tips for embodying your role. While this class focuses on roleplay within a scene, it will touch on roles that persist longterm as part of a person’s kinky identity. No prior experience with BDSM or roleplay is required to get something out of this class.
