I’ll confess: I was one of the kids at school who loved drama. I couldn’t get enough of the costumes and cheesy scripts and the chance to pretend. In an environment which was otherwise filled with maths homework and bullying, it was fun to be someone other than me for a while. As an adult, school role play has been something that ticks a lot of my kink boxes, but when you’re thinking of getting into character things don’t have to stop there.
You might have read the guide to Roleplay 101, and be itching to get started. Well, now for the next step: choosing and equipping your scenario. Here are a few common (and some not-so-common) role-play fantasies, which will hopefully inspire you to come up with a few situations of your own…

Teacher/student
Yes, it’s OK to role play teacher/student, and no – it doesn’t mean that one of you likes kids. Many of us remember our school days as the time when we started getting all the sexy feelings, but as a youngster, it’s often hard to process what’s going on. As an adult, exploring a sexy classroom situation gives you a chance to relive those days, but without the confusion of hormones rushing around chaotically like Matt Damon in the Bourne films. Alternatively, you might just like the idea of getting caned by your German teacher while counting to ‘zechs.’
Costume: Teacher/student is often one of the simplest fantasy role-plays. After all, you just need a tie that could vaguely pass for a school tie, and a white shirt and smart skirt or trousers. Teachers can wear their normal clothes, or pick up a vintage-style school gown for less than £20.
Equipment: I’m assured by teacher friends that these days all classrooms have an interactive whiteboard, but chalk on a blackboard is surely more in keeping with the theme. Pick up cheap chalk from your local pound shop, and if you don’t have a blackboard you can get test-pots of blackboard paint from Wilkos. In terms of BDSM implements, the cane is the classic here – grab a ready-made cane or make your own. If you’re looking for lesson ideas, you could certainly do worse than having a ‘crafting’ lesson, where your student charge makes the cane that they’ll eventually be punished with.
Sexy nurse/sexy doctor
Extreme medical play is a pretty niche activity, seeing as it can involve needles and urethral sounds. But sexy nurse or doctor role play can span a vast spectrum, from the patient getting a gentle sponge bath, or being subjected to an ‘examination’, right through to ‘treatment’ – such as a spanking or twenty minutes of stress-relieving oral – stuff that definitely isn’t available on the NHS. The only limits with this one are your hard limits, so if you’re taking part in any of the more extreme medical play, make sure you read up on the safety aspects as you don’t want to end up in a real hospital. Especially in a latex nurse’s uniform.

Costume: I’ve mentioned the latex uniform, haven’t I? Well, for an even more authentic experience, pick up a genuine nurse’s uniform, or consultant’s lab coat, on Ebay. Plenty of ex-hospital staff are selling their old uniforms, and as the Tories further dismantle the NHS I’m sure there’ll be even more available.
Equipment: A stethoscope is a must – even if you’re using it to examine someone in a sexy way rather than for health reasons. The cold metal of the stethoscope on skin makes for excellent sensory play. More specialist equipment, such as speculums, urethral sounds and enemas, can all be bought online. But this is not for the casual user: make sure you know exactly what you’re doing before you insert anything into someone.
Strangers in the night
One of the most common fantasies, and satisfyingly easy to create. One of you goes out to a bar somewhere you’ve never been together before. While they’re on their way they can create a whole new backstory – a different name, job, life, etc. The other plans their own backstory, then heads out to the bar to see if they can ‘pick up’ this stranger. One of the great things about this role-play is that it can be very natural, or more intense, depending on how comfortable you feel and how happy you are getting deep into character. It also gives you the chance to air some of the fantasies you might have struggled to talk about before – or test things you want to experience for the first time. If ‘you’ are usually very dominant, then perhaps your stranger – Lexy – is quite submissive, and she wants to be tied to the bed and beaten with a flogger. Your partner arrives to pick you up in the bar, and you can make the pickup as easy or as difficult as you like!
Costume: Technically you can do this in your own clothes – but that’s not really in the spirit of the evening. You want to find something that’s very different – very ‘un-you.’ If you’re usually found in jeans and a T-shirt, pick something floral, floaty, or smart. If you wear make-up, try a new look. Shave your beard into a different style, or wear sunglasses. Anything that would plausibly make your Mum go ‘darling, I didn’t recognise you!’
Equipment: Whatever works best for your fantasy. But this one’s a good excuse to buy a couple of new bits of kit – after all, it’ll ruin the ‘stranger’ fantasy if they come back to your place (or your hotel room – for an extra frisson of stranger sex) and find the same sex toys you’ve had for a while. Pick up a new flogger, cane, or anything else that tickles your fancy, and wield it as you would with someone completely new to you.
Journalist/US Politician
Are you a sucker for House of Cards? This one’s inspired by Frank Underwood’s delicious deviousness, and his relationship with the spunky journalist Zoe Barnes. Their back-and-forth, spiteful relationship is excellent role-play fodder if you’re into power play, but you’re both a bit switchy and you’d like to take it in turns. Is he ordering her to fulfil his sexual needs in order to get the dirt for a story? Or is she blackmailing him with secrets she’s discovered about his evil machinations?
Costume: He needs a suit, or jogging clothes – if he’s snuck out in the night to meet Zoe for a secret tryst. She just needs a tight top and jeans. But some sexy lingerie on underneath should help you feel like the scheming ‘other woman.’
Equipment: A reporter’s notebook? Or perhaps an envelope containing information that will blow the politician’s secrets wide open? And he’ll do anything for Zoe to stop her from publishing…
Danaerys Targaryen/A Dragon
Is there a help group for people whose sexual fantasies mostly revolve around box sets? Because I think I should probably stop by. The great thing about role-play fantasy is that the only limits are your collective imaginations. You might not have a dragon costume to hand, but you can certainly pretend. And after all, pony play (where one person is the pony and the other the trainer) and pup play (where one of you is a dog and the other their master) are both pretty popular – why not bring in a dragon or two?
Other possible box set fantasies include:
Stringer Bell/Detective McNulty (The Wire)
After years of chasing Avon Barksdale’s drug gang, McNulty finally gets Stringer Bell to talk. But how does he persuade him to roll over on the whole crew? Sexual favours. Of course.
Walt/Jesse (Breaking Bad)
You’ve got to make the meth before Walt gets back from killing another drug dealer – or you’ll get bent over the workbench in the camper van for a very sexy punishment.
Jack Bauer/Any of Jack Bauer's victims (24)
Jack Bauer needs to find the location of a bomb, and you’re the one person who can tell him. Using deeply unethical, human-rights-violating techniques, Jack must torture you for the information. This might be orgasm torture, spankings, electrastim play, or vicious whippy cane strokes. See how long you can hold out.
Zombie/Rick Grimes (The Walking Dead)
Rick Grimes gets eaten by a zombie. Come on, I can’t be the only one who’s fantasised about this?
I’m guessing some of those last ones raised a smile rather than a boner. But here’s the thing – and what I adore about role-play fantasy: the sky is absolutely the limit, and if you love getting into character then almost any situation can be turned into a sexy adventure. Sex is one of the ways we explore our imaginations, and you’d be surprised, once you start digging, just what treasures you find inside your own head.
So grab your Indiana Jones hat, a bullwhip, and a willing accomplice, and go have some serious fun.
