Role-playing is part of BDSM dynamics and scenes, and there is a bit more to it than claiming to be Simone and talking with a French accent during a scene. Depending on your dynamics and kinks, you can create unique scenes.

What is role-playing?

Role-play is when you change your behavior to take on a different persona, you can change your attitude, clothing, or wear costumes to get into the mindset of your preferred persona. You are, in essence, acting out fantasies that might be perceived as "different" in the real world, like role-playing a schoolboy and headmistress fantasy that is consensual between two adults.

Pet play has become extremely popular over the last few years, and there is nothing more exciting than a Dom/me taming and training their new beast. It can also form part of primal play is that is your kink.

Costumes are an easy way to get into character, and the right might set. If you are a pet, the easiest items to add to your wardrobe would be a pair of ears or a mask, and if you enjoy anal toys, you can include a butt plug that comes with a tail as the tail when then be part of you during the scene. A Dom/me does not necessarily need to wear a costume as a trainer or Master, but they should have accessories that will work in the scene like a food and water bowl, a collar, and a leash.

Now, as a pet, you can't talk cause you will be breaking character, but you can make noise and sounds associated with your chosen animal. Pets and animals also communicate through behavior and body language. So you could paw as you Master or nuzzle them; you could also lay on their lap and purr. Masters or trainers need to be authoritative during the scene. Depending on what was negotiated before a scene, a Master or trainer can either discipline or reward their pet for their behavior. Punishment could be in the form of impact play, and rewards could be treats, like toys or sexual activities; this all depends on you and your dynamic.

Role-playing is an exciting way for couples to explore different fantasies or fetishes. It provides a way to explore something taboo together. Always make sure it is consensual and that you have safe words in place.
