Does sexual fantasy and roleplay build intimacy?

[Happily_married]

Hi all, have roleplay scenarios brought you closer together or further apart? Good experiences vs bad experiences? Do's and don'ts? We've done some fun roleplay but is it emotionally beneficial?

I'd think it would depend on what kind of roleplay. Playing together is generally good fun, but certain kinds of fantasies are dangerous when indulged in real-life as opposed to cybersex.

I think you should ask yourself that question. When you have role played, how did it make you feel? Do you feel closer to your partner or further away? Was it an enjoyable experience or uncomfortable? Did you derive any satisfaction or pleasure from it?

 

Only you can really answer that.

 

I think any time a couple communicates their wants, needs, and desires especially when it concerns sex, it often brings a couple closer together.

 

Then again, depending on what those sexual needs and desires are, it could potentially drive a wedge between a couple if their sexual tastes aren't remotely similar.

 

I think it starts with being sexually compatible. If a couple is sexually compatible then I see role playing as way of bringing them closer together as well as safeguarding them again outside temptations.

Yes in my experience if your partner has a similar adventurous streak and you are open about sexual communication.

 

My partner and I use fantasy and role play a lot. Not just in bedroom but via text throughout the day.

 

I can tell him anything and have found that he's emotionally secure which turns me on as nothing is off the table.

 

This creates deeper intimacy for sure.

Oh yeah, it's good. My wife and I do it. She'll pretend to be my mistress at times saying things like "I thought you were going to leave your wife for me by now" or pretend she is the one stepping out of a marriage and say "don't tell my husband" etc. Yeah it works out pretty well. It doesn't hurt, that's for sure.
