How to Safely Explore Roleplay Involving Dominance, Submission, or Taboo Scenarios
Roleplaying is an activity where people act out different roles and personalities for fun. It can involve exploring fantasies that may be considered taboo or outside of the norm. This guide will teach you how to safely explore these types of roleplays.
Before engaging in any type of roleplay, it's important to establish boundaries with your partner(s) about what is acceptable and what isn't. You need to make sure everyone involved understands what they are consenting to beforehand. For example, if you want to roleplay being tied up or physically dominated, make sure both parties agree to this before starting. Communication is key! If someone says no at any point during the scene, stop immediately.
Choose Your Partner(s) Wisely
You should always play with partners who have similar interests as yours and who are comfortable with the same types of activities. If you want to try something new or more intense, start slow and talk about it beforehand so there aren't any surprises during the scene. Be honest about your experience level too - don't assume your partner knows what they're getting into unless they explicitly state otherwise.
Plan Your Scene
What kind of scenario would you like? What props or costumes do you need? Do some research ahead of time so that when the time comes, everything goes smoothly without any delays or interruptions. Write down a script or outline so everyone knows what happens next in case anyone forgets their lines or gets nervous in the moment. Make sure all participants feel safe and secure throughout the entire process.
During Your Roleplay
Be mindful of your words and actions during the scene - remember that this is supposed to be fun for everyone involved. Don't let your ego get in the way and focus on making sure everyone has a good time rather than trying to outdo each other with impressive performances. If things get too intense or uncomfortable, use safe words like "stop" or "no" to indicate that it needs to end immediately.
Once The Scene Is Over
Take care of yourself afterwards by doing whatever makes sense for you (like taking a shower or talking through what happened). Check in with your partner(s) afterwards too - make sure they felt safe and enjoyed themselves just as much as you did! Aftercare can include cuddling or debriefing sessions where both parties discuss what worked well/didn't work well about the experience.
