Many people who live in a long-term relationship will know it all too well: At some point, even in the most beautiful and harmonious relationship, there comes a time when sex lacks the famous crackle.
In this situation, it can definitely help couples to open themselves up to new experiences and, for example, to take on different roles during lovemaking.

However, in addition to role play, there are numerous other ways in which a breath of fresh air can be brought into lovemaking. The best sex toys, the hottest lingerie and the most promising dating portals can be found, for example, on the popular blog on the topics of love, sexuality and eroticism.
The following article explains how role-playing games can be used to provide variety in bed.
Particularly popular: traditional role clichés
There are some couples for whom it is an extremely exciting and sensual experience to slip into new roles during lovemaking. For example, it is popular for the woman to take on the role of a teacher and her husband to take on the part of the student.
Finally taking on the role of a completely different person with different character traits is extremely exciting. This is particularly true for men who otherwise take on the dominant role during sex and tend to assume a submissive position during role play.
The sexual role plays primarily use traditional role clichés, such as housewife and plumber, criminal and policewoman or patient and doctor.
Open communication about fantasies
But of course you can also give free rein to your own desire and creativity in role-playing games - after all, it's about living out your individual fantasies. However, there are of course limitations that need to be taken into account when role-playing.
It is very important that the partners talk to each other and clarify in advance what they want to do. Ultimately, the partner must also like the fantasy in question so that none of those involved feels compelled to do something they don't actually want to do and don't feel like doing.
Role-playing games for rekindled passion
A recent survey on the topic of role-playing during sex in the German capital Berlin showed that many couples have never integrated role-playing into their lovemaking. Even the mere thought of it still triggers feelings of shame in many people today.
On the other hand, the survey also found some couples who specifically use the varied role-playing games when the passion during sex wanes over the course of a long relationship. The focus is particularly often on recreating power structures that cannot be found in everyday relationships.
For example, some people particularly like it when their partner puts a collar and leash on them, wears a mask and displays rather aggressive behavior.
However, it is important that clear boundaries between the two parties involved are agreed upon in advance. In this context, many couples also use a specific code word. As soon as this is mentioned, it is indicated that a limit has now been reached.
Role-playing games are also a great way to try out sex toys strap-on dildos , which enable a complete role reversal between men and women.
