Let's Talk About... Roleplay

[Wild_Honey_66]

Not on the SRP boards, or during roleplaying games, but within exchanges such as texts, emails, PMs, message board posts, etc.

Do you do it?
Do you like the person with whom you're communicating to do it?
When is it appropriate?
Is it context/subject/person dependent?
How much is too much?
Have your feelings about RP during conversation changed over time? And if so, how?

ETA: What is your goal with RP? Do you see it as purely an exercise in creative writing? Are you trying to get you/your partner off? Is it just a bit of wordy fun?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions with us!

yes i do...although just with one person now...

always check the bio, posts etc - find out likes and dislikes - don't dive right in

be respectful - learn to accept rejection gracefully.

Don't use txt spk...

use proper grammar...sentences paragraphs etc - make it readable!

slow build up...and make sure you have time to finish - if not - say so!

I appreciate those that are into role play. I think it shows great creativity and I love imaginative people. However, I am not good at it and it does nothing for me.

I do enjoy fantasy based on reality...example: me and honey coming across a sexy, lost, well-hung lumberjack in the woods. We take him to our cabin and have our way with him. Yes. Picture it. Haha

Not going to happen but fun to imagine. I guess the difference to me is Honey is Honey in the fantasy. I am me in the fantasy. It's just the situation that is fantasy. I can only be me. In life and in play.

Oh, I totally LOL'd. Honey, you're ace!

If you aren't into RP you should make it plain at the outset - there is nothing worse then sending a paragraph of sensuous creativity and getting a two word reply!

 

[ouchfeelsgood]

I've engaged in some very provocative roleplay with a number of fun, imaginative, and literate Lit members over the years. The context is usually a subject we both are interested in -- in my case, BDSM, bondage, etc are my favorites, but not by any means the only areas I enjoy RP'ing.

An immportant criteria is that my RP partner be enthusiastic, have a bit of a twisted, kinky mind, and not be afraid to venture into new, boundary-pushing territory.

I like to use Lit PM as the means for conducting the RP, although I've occasionally used Yahoo messenger or chat.

You would send a detailed scenario without checking first? I don't think I have any obligation to decide those things up front. I think I'm allowed to see how/if they evolve.

WOOP! Thank you!

I thought it would be a fun topic for discussion.

No..not at all...only if the lady said she wanted to roleplay. Enthusiasm must be on both sides.

I have in the past, and I do think that it is context/ subject/ person dependent. I have written long, detailed scenarios that have totally fallen flat; I have written just a sentence that has sparked a whole conversation. It just depends.

Eva! Lumberjacks, yeah baby!!

I'm always me, but not always the same facet of my personality is showing. Wow, grammar fail lol.

Yes I enjoy role playing. With the right person. I like to get to know them, either in like a get to know you scene or messaging back and forth. I don't like roleplay on the SRP boards. The pace drives me crazy, it's too slow. I don't mind email, however at some point, we need to meet up in one of the Lit chatrooms. For me it all about pace.

Yes I would have to like the person I am role playing with. Not like personality but how they write, and how they respond. I am going to Check out your posts here on Lit. If you don't have many or if I can tell we are not going to "Click" I will not respond.

It's appropriate whenever. If it's a message or email, I can open it when I want to.

Context is everything. Subjects are person dependent. It always depends on the partner. We are in the scene together, and we both need to enjoy it. That's why it's important for me to get to know them, and them me.

I'm pretty busy, but I can prioritize.

Roleplay is creative writing, fun, and can be exciting. I find it to be an erotic aid, it also gives me ideas. So maybe all of this is for my husbands benefit.

 

[Little_Sister]

My thoughts.

I love PM RP. I have done it with both men and women here. I have also started RPs the dropped them because sometimes things feel forced and then I am out. If we don't flow easily, I'm out.

As a general rule of thumb it is vanilla RP. There was someone who was no longer here that I RPed with quite extensively into my favorite kink but he was the exception and it is not something I have done with anyone else.

For me the best RPs come from those I have real connections with, like we have chatted about randomness and then a dirty joke turns things from friendly to e-booty call.

My goal, is to get off.

When is it appropriate? *never in my world*
Is it context/subject/person dependent? *there can be no context when it's never done *
How much is too much? *how long is a
Planck length?*
Have your feelings about RP during conversation changed over time? And if so, how? *nope, I've always hated it..lol*

right, so I guess the answer is yes, but not sexual RP?

 

[whenagain]

I do it, and the goal is generally to have a fun, creative time getting off.

However due to life demands I frequently can’t be on lit for long periods of time, so I don’t want to create frustrating situations where stories go unfinished. Therefore, I don’t seek it out much.

 

[SoulAssasin247]

I have done it many times, if done properly you can imagine and almost taste her. It's a way to get as close as possible to physical sex. It also helps you know their likes and dislikes. Roleplay and phone sex is a pleasurable way to communicate. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I love to RP. I'm happy to give most scenarios and partners a go. What surprises me is people who start a RP, we get right into it, and they disappear without trace. What's the story there? Is it me?

RP is relaxing. I love creative writing, but I'm not self disciplined. RP on LIT is a way to get inspiration and make me write because I owe it to the other person. And if I get off or my partner does, that's a bonus.

If anyone reading this wants to RP, let's talk. Ciao, Eric
