Sexual roleplay

It may take place in the real world, or via an internet forum, chat-room, video-game, or email—allowing for physically or virtually impossible erotic interests to be enacted.

How seriously the play is taken depends on the participants, and the scenario may be anywhere from simple and makeshift to detailed and elaborate, including costumes and a script.

The role-play may involve a fantasy based on any social role and could incorporate any kind of sexual fetish desired by the participants.

The role-play may involve elements of dominance and submission including sexual bondage and erotic humiliation.
