Role-play can be spontaneous or pre-planned, and as elaborate as you make it. In its simplest form, role-play occurs when two adults consensually engage in an eroticized make-believe game, a shared sexual fantasy. And it's not limited to two adults - group role-play offers some of the hottest sexual experiences imaginable.

Everything in the world can inspire role-play. You could do a couch role-play and ask someone to sit on you. The most iconic gay RPG settings have been made and remade endlessly by gay porn companies because they work but that doesn't mean you can't experience them for yourself. Try out these role-play scenarios for the adventurous gay couple and use your imagination!

Sports Teammates

There seems to be more "bathhouse" gay pornography than any other subgenre. You know the scenario: a young freshman walks into the locker room among the burly seniors of the football team, who have an unpleasant initiation ritual planned for them after practice.

The props for this role-play involve sportswear (a fetish in itself), knee socks, gym shorts, copious amounts of sweat, and that wonderful camaraderie that forms when the submissive of the group bends over a bench press.

Strangers

Anonymous public connections are fast becoming a thing of the past. Our digitized and mediated hookup culture has all but replaced the discreet stare squabbles in the gym and public walks in parks and bathhouses. Many places that were once cruising spots are now more heavily guarded, and the success rate is inevitably lower.

Also, some men feel some discomfort with completely anonymous sex. The risk of sexually transmitted infections is a factor – although, of course, someone who tells you they love you poses the same risk unless they have been rigorously tested.

One solution to all of this is to role-play anonymously/strangers with someone you already know. If you want to play in public, plan to meet somewhere that you are sure will offer some privacy. If your fantasy is to anonymously pick up a stranger and take him back home, this is easier: just plan a date somewhere (gym, a bookstore) and watch him from across the room. Pretend you don't know each other, and when the time is right, give that classic, subtle nod - "Let's get out of here."

Coach and Player

Another common gay pornography scenario: the rude and frustrated football coach tells the quarterback to stay after practice for some additional training. For obvious reasons, this scenario also works great for group role-play.

Puppy and dog trainer

Like many scenes in the world of BDSM, puppy-play in its simplest form is a form of role-play. It falls into a broader category of role-play types. In pet role-playing, humans stereotypically act like different animals before and during sex.

Like all forms of role-play, puppy-play is as simple or complex as you make it. Some puppies love the headspace of puppy-play and extend it beyond the bedroom into daily life. They do this by wearing collars, barking/smelling men on the dance floor, and sitting/kneeling whenever our trainers/partners say, “Sit down.”

There is an inherent power dynamic during puppy-play, and many supporters would say that there is a Dominant/submissive relationship. The 'puppies' are automatically submissive to the handlers/trainers. A good pup loves to be petted, treated to treats (sexual or otherwise) and to be led on a leash by a handler. And, while this isn't always the case, handlers are typically top and bottom pups.

Puppy-play is implicitly, if not explicitly, sexual enactment, but some puppies and trainers have removed the sexual aspect of it and turned puppy-play into a more yoga-like practice - a de-stressing activity that frees them from the daily rigors of life.

Slave and Master

The range of power dynamics in the world of kink can be explained by putting them on a spectrum. On the one hand, you have puppy-play - a light role-play with a relaxed Dom/sub dynamic. At the opposite extreme, you have Master/slave. While extreme, Master/Slave is still a role-play, which typically involves hardcore BDSM, extreme leather, rubber and restraint, temporary confinement, and long-term housework (washing, cleaning, gardening, etc.), all in service of the Dom. /Teacher.

Doctor and patient

No doubt you've seen these scenarios in porn. The restrained male patient needs an anal exam from the strapping doctor, who is visibly naked under his white coat and stethoscope. The doctor-patient role-play is enhanced by a plethora of sex toys and kink supplies that fall under the “medical fetish” umbrella – speculums, metal showerheads, anal probes, latex gloves, etc.

Intern and CEO

For all its misrepresentation of BDSM relationships, Fifty Shades of Gray played into a long-standing role-play with a clear Dom/sub dynamic - low-level intern and executive CEO. Business tycoon and office boy. “Cancel my 3:30 pm meeting and crawl under my desk, boy.”

Teacher and student

The handsome professor with glasses needs you to stay after class. You've been misbehaving and it's time for a lesson in manners. If you want to row your student's tail on a wooden table, don't use a real ruler, as it breaks easily. Invest in a good wooden or rubber shovel designed for the job.

Police and Criminal

“Officer, please don't give me a speeding ticket. I'll do anything." "Anything?" This old-school role-play scenario isn't complete without a good set of handcuffs and a black police baton - or, better yet, a dildo baton.
