Today, we are going to look at Role-Playing.
Can a Christian couple role-play together?
What is Role-Playing?
Role-Playing is when a husband and wife act out a scenario together or dress up to pretend they are somewhere and someone they are not.
Remember when you were a little kid and you and your friends played "house?" This is what it essentially is, but with a sexual twist.
Common Role-Playing Scenarios may include, A repair man, picking the girl at the bar, damsel in distress, etc.
Can Christians role-play if it remains in the bedroom (with their spouse)?
Can We?
Let me just say, I do not see it forbid anywhere in the Bible. However, let's take the 3 principles as I mentioned in my previous post.
Is it against the law? No, role-playing is not against the law in and of itself.
Does the Bible forbid it? I have not seen any verse where God says we cannot role-play.
Is it helpful? This is going to depend on your marriage. Some may argue that this is not helpful, if this is you, you are not required to ever role-play. Some may enjoy it. That is okay. You need to discuss with your spouse what they think of this and go from there. Remember to display love to your spouse!
Caution
Now, the caution that we must be careful of is when you role-play, you want to make sure you are not fantasizing about another man or woman who is not your spouse. You still want your spouse. Not someone else.
So, let's say we are pretending the wife is in distress, and the man is coming to the rescue. However the role-play progresses, even though you are pretending, you are having sex with your spouse and not with someone else.
Hopefully that makes sense.

*Should I explain at a deeper level?
*Are there other principles that we should abide by?
