Halloweek Role-Play: Bring Your Costumes to Bed
When most people think of role-play, they envision a 50-year-old couple desperately trying to salvage what's left of their routine, boring, and listless 25 years of intra-marital sex. But role-play and sex toys are more than just a desperate attempt to save your relationship. As incapable and jaded as we might be now, since we were kids we’ve always dreamed of being doctors, astronauts, and even the president. And while only a few of us will actually live to achieve those goals in real life, don’t fret. There's always room for one or ten more presidents of the United States in the world of sexual role-play. I'd argue, sexual role-play can really help you to figure out what you like and who you are in bed. Ever heard of the saying “lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets”? Well, that's exactly what I mean. Whether you’re a lady, dude, both, or neither in the streets, in the sheets we like to think outside of the box. Halloween is right around the corner, and I challenge you to channel your costume each night into your post-party sexual exploits. However, for you psychos out there (and we know you’re out there), Halloween is not the night to go on that killing spree you’ve been lusting for. I would feel personally responsible if I wake up the day after Halloween to a BDH homicide article. So before you go taking your serial killer costumes too seriously, listen up, because there is such a thing as going too far…However we do stan rough, borderline-strangulation sex, so long as it is consensual and there is a safe word. And no, for you idiots out there, “stop” does not count as a safe word. Now that we have some safety precautions in place, here are a few tips to really make the most of your role-play experience.
- Be in costume. Yeah, I know it sounds stupid, but we’ve all seen them before. The lame-os who show up to Halloween costume parties so clearly dressed as nothing but themselves. I mean, if you’re Beyoncé or Kurt Cobain risen from the dead, by all means don’t feel compelled to come in any costume. But as for everyone else, make sure to stop by Party City on the way to the party and pick up a mask… or plastic bag or something.
- Stay. In. Character! Preferably for the whole night. But definitely when things are starting to get hot between you and your partner. This may be one of the only occasions where it’s advisable to not be yourself. The costumes don’t make it role play, you do! And I get it, we’re not all the best actors, but when you’re high/rolling anything is possible.
- Don’t hold back! Even just in general, sex is so much more fun when both parties are actively engaged and immersed in the moment. Don’t be afraid to go all out to embody your costume.
- Have fun! I mean, when else are you gonna have the chance to bang Megan Fox from Transformers (or that chick in Theta dressed as her). Go. Fucking. Nuts.
