Erotic role play: 5 golden rules for hot sex
Have you always dreamed of erotic role play? Then finally take the plunge - we'll tell you why sex in a different role is so hot!

Erotic role play: Why it's so hot to slip into a different role during sex
Erotic role-playing games are a great way to discover new facets of your partner and to show new sides of yourself. Many couples have already discovered new secret desires through role-playing that they have not yet dared to address. Role-playing games are a wonderful way to forget ourselves and discover completely new sides to ourselves without having to be ashamed of anything. After all, it's not us anyway, but the handyman, the housewife or the nurse - the role we slip into. This escape from our everyday sex life can freshen up our love life enormously and get it going.
Sex after 50: what fulfills women now
How do you get started with role play?
There are couples who have a natural talent for role-playing and just go for it without shame. The vast majority, however, usually feel insecure and think:
- What does my partner expect from me?
- Am I making a fool of myself?
- Is this the right thing to do?
- How should I react if I do?
This can make the whole role play seem tense and silly. Don't worry: this is completely normal at the beginning!
Role-playing games thrive on mutual trust and the right "chemistry" between partners. And of course, no master has fallen from the sky. Be aware that eroticism should always be open and playful. Nobody will be able to take away your basic fear of making a fool of yourself - it will always be there at the beginning. Until you realize that there is nothing to it at all. Until you realize how well you do it all and how much you are absorbed in your role. So take the plunge and embark on the adventure!
5 golden rules for hot sex
These rules will help you to have a plan of sorts - for the most pleasurable experience possible:
1. agree beforehand
What role play or play is it? Who is what? To avoid any misunderstandings, you should agree in advance so that you both have the same understanding. Each actor plays a role, there is a roughly predefined context and framework. Everything else is fantasy and depends on spontaneity.
2 Stay in character
Every "Wait a minute, I've forgotten something!", "Stop" or "Can I start again?" brings the game to a standstill and should therefore be avoided. Imagine the scenario as in a play - you are in character the whole time.
3 First the game, then the sex
Even if it is an erotic role play, the focus is on the game, not the sex. The fun is in seducing your partner and slowly getting more intimate, so take your time and enjoy the tension building up slowly.
4. better a good fantasy than a bad fake
When it comes to costumes, for many people they are part of erotic role play. A nurse or a handyman without the right outfit? Hardly! However, the cheap versions often look silly or even funny. That's why it's worth investing in high-quality costumes - otherwise it's better to skip them altogether.
5 Stop if it doesn't work out
Even if you follow all the rules and are really in the mood for raunchy games, it may not work (straight away). There can be many reasons for this, such as the role doesn't fit or you're not in the right mood. It's better to leave it for the moment and try again.
