The problem with these questions is that the answer is always the same: that depends. Sexual pleasure, and sex positions, isn’t a science, and the only way you can find out more about sex positions, is to bring the creativity you have in other parts of your life, into the sexual arena, and start exploring.

Sexual Role Play Tip

As adults we don’t get to play nearly enough, and fantasy sexual role play is a perfect opportunity to dress up and have fun. Once you’ve decided on who you want to be, where and what you’ll be doing, think about ways to add to your character and role through clothing and props.

Take a trip to a thrift store, keep your eye out for post-Halloween sales, or if you’re a pack rat, raid your basement or attic for clothes you haven’t worn in years.

Props and costumes for role play can include:

Clothing

From your underwear to your overcoat (and the all important footwear), dress appropriate to your role. If you’re a banker about to foreclose on a poor man’s house, a suit (or tuxedo) is ideal. If you don’t have those handy, you can dress your partner way down in torn and tattered clothes to contrast whatever nice clothes you have to wear.

Wearable accessories
Wearable props can both add to the realism of a character but they can also be used as tools of seduction. A pair of glasses, leather gloves, a tie or stockings are obvious examples. Others include: jewelry, purses, broaches, hats, glasses, ties, belts, gloves.

Accessories for the role
Make sure you have the tools of your trade. Business people need briefcases, teachers need rulers, cops need handcuffs, the list goes on.

Smell the part
If you’re a sophisticated opera devotee, perfume or cologne is in order. If you’re a chef, try some vanilla behind the ears (or elsewhere), if you’re a sanitation worker, get creative in smelling bad without smelling too bad.

With any character, you can go authentic, or you can caricature the role you’re playing. The key is to have fun, and be thorough.
