I don't want to play doctor - am I weird?

Sort of inspired by the other thread that talks about how important is sex, someone said (among other suggestions) “Have you tried role-playing?”

Funny you should ask.

Last week my GF and I were discussing fantasies, and without going into TMI, the subject of role-playing came up.

I am SO not into it.

I can’t see pretending to be a doctor, or a prison guard, or schoolteacher, or whatever without bursting into laughter. I sure can’t see staying “aroused” while acting out a part.

How do people do these things unselfconsciously? What I mean is, you KNOW your playing a part, how does that not ruin it?

I’ve always wondered that. The closest I’ve ever come is meeting my husband at a bar and pretending we didn’t know each other. People who wear costumes are cut from a different cloth than I.

It doesn’t matter what WE think is wierd. Lust is in the thighs of the beholder.

I don’t think you’re weird for not wanting to try it… but I think you might be surprised. If this is something that your girlfriend wants to do, she might get real turned on by it, no? I doubt you’ll have any trouble staying aroused if she’s flipping out underneath you, begging to be spanked because she didn’t do her homework.

This is your girlfriend’s fantasy. And it’s a pretty simple one. When you want to ask her to do something a little out of the ordinary for you, remember that you turned her down merely because you were worried you might laugh.

But, obviously, one should never be forced to do something they don’t want to in bed. So, no. Nobody can’t fault you if you’re truly adverse to the idea.
