Couple role-playing games: our advice

Whether it's because you're experiencing routine in your relationship, or you're naturally attracted to this practice, it's likely you've already thought about role-playing games with your partner. But where to start? How to implement it? Here are our tips for setting up one or more role-playing games in a couple with peace of mind.

Think about the scenario

A role-playing game requires a minimum of preparation. To begin, the ideal is to define with your partner the scenarios that excite you. Use the pretext of an evening for two to list together your desires and fantasies (a good way to start raising the temperature). For the more reserved, you can create a shared Google doc before discussing it together later (a brainstorming session more fun than the weekly meeting at the office, right?)

Set your limits

Once your scenario is chosen, define together the practices you want to try, but also those that do not tempt you. If this exercise seems tedious to you, do not hesitate to look online for sexual practice checklists, you will only have to complete it together!

Define a safeword

Using a safeword or safety word is essential in these kinds of games. The idea is to choose a completely out-of-context word, and therefore easily identifiable ("tabbouleh", "worm", "pikachu", we trust you to find the quirky little word that suits you best). Once spoken, this word will mean that you or your partner want to stop the game immediately: like a joker to play if you're not comfortable in the situation.

Write a framework

It may seem a bit formal, but writing a framework also helps to set the game boundaries and ensure everyone is satisfied. It can also help everyone get more into their character. If you're inspired, you can write it entirely together. Otherwise, rely on your list of limits and desires, and on external sources of inspiration that might give you ideas: series, movies, video games... everything is good to take. ;)

Create an atmosphere

Whether you're at home or in a place reserved for this purpose, remember to prepare a little playlist (it doesn't hurt), but also some accessories, decor, and outfits. These elements will allow you to immerse yourself more in the game and have an even more unique moment!

Don't forget the aftercare

Once the game is over, it's time to come back down. And for that, nothing is better than a little after care session! Cuddles, a good bath or shower, a drink, some snacks, to reconnect with reality and take care of each other. During this moment together, feel free to discuss what just happened, what you enjoyed, moments where you would have liked to go further, etc.

And now, it's your turn to play... 😉
