READY to be someone else in the bedroom? Someone fumbling their lines and feeling deep humiliation? Combining the worst of bored sex and am-dram? Give roleplay a try.

Any of these common scenarios will see you and your lover subject yourselves to an experience which forever after you’ll be ashamed to discuss:

Teacher and student

A nice place to start, or so you thought, before slipping into the persona of Mr. Whittaker, the woollen-suited PE teacher with a lisp. Turns out, his 'Come on girlth, jump nithe and high' was your hidden aphrodisiac all along.

Cleaning lady and boss

It began with tantalizing bending-over but quickly morphed into a domestic dispute about who actually does the cleaning. The only thing that got wet was the floor you were mopping.

Time-traveller

Set your rules before you end up naked arguing about paradoxes. One wants to be a cavewoman, the other a strict Victorian. You both lack the talent and the time machine to escape this cringe.

Doctor and patient

Borrowed toy stethoscope? Check. Unexpected mole-checking instead of a sexy exam? Double-check. WebMD browsing is not a known aphrodisiac.

French maid

The costume promised more than it delivered. Your partner's French accent? So catastrophic that you're rethinking that Paris getaway.

Sci-fi

Inviting 'Big Bang Theory' vibes into the bedroom? She's horrified by your two-month garage project for a robot costume. Silver spray? Rebuffed. Turns out, your mom was right. You're not normal.
