Involves a pre-negotiate and “scripted” stories where consenting participants take on characters [or alter] behaviors, mannerisms, and/or appearance to perform a specific series of action with the main goal of achieving sexual pleasure.

Even though RP it’s sexually driven, can be done for the purpose of fulfilling fantasies beyond sex, deepening intimacy, or as a way of providing an escape from everyday reality. This practice can involve PE without that meaning that it is a power dynamic. Pet Play & Age Play are considered sub-categories or RP. Fetishes can play a big role within RP. For instance; Doctor/patient role play for the lover of medical uniforms. The shoe salesman and the customer for foot & shoe lovers.
