It's always interesting for me to read others' fantasies, experiences, desires, etc... for role-play. I personally have a difficult time with role-play. It makes me feel like I'm acting. And although I love the theater, it just isn't "hot" for me. I remember as a kid playing pretend was kind of fun, but there were other types of play I enjoyed much more. I have difficulty with even simple things that are out of character for me. As the Dominant in a captivity scene, I could probably do ok, because I would be going after that which I desire, but knowing the submissive really liked it and was faking about wanting to be set free would ruin it for me. I definitely couldn't relate on any level whatsoever as the one being kidnapped. To be enjoying the whole scenario, but having to pretend I wasn't enjoying it... I don't think I could pull it off. Role playing just makes me feel fake or something. Not real sure I can put my finger on it. I even felt kinda like a dweeb when I played D&D. Sitting at a kitchen table, with a Mountain Dew in a glass beside me, made it difficult to get myself in a headspace of being a wizard in a cavern. To actually stand up and start acting it out, lol, I think I'd come off more like a kid with ADHD. Like I said though, it's always interesting to read others' perspective on role playing and the enjoyment they get out of it. It's always a good thing to see people having fun.
