3 of the Best Historical Kinky Roleplay Ideas

Wearing a historical roleplay costume in the bedroom is nothing new, but maybe there's a back story you didn't know about. We delve into the underskirts of three kinky roleplay ideas.
 

Roleplaying in the bedroom combines the fun and creativity of a Halloween costume with, y'know, sex. Many of the most famous roleplay scenarios come from history – sultan and harem girl, lusty pirate and wench, caveman etc. But although these are classics, there are plenty of other opportunities throughout history from which you can come up with the perfect kinky roleplay ideas.

The gladiator and Roman matron

Most sexual kinky roleplay ideas from the classical era are all about helpless slave girls and Caligula or some equally debauched Julio-Claudian. Fun, no doubt, but with few opportunities for those of us who're more into female domination. But the Roman world provides plenty of opportunities for femdom action. Well, one anyway: did you know that gladiators were the favourite sex objects of the upper-class Roman woman? True. You don't need much for your gladiator roleplay costume – a simple subligaculum or loincloth should suffice.

The 17th-century “Molly”

Same-sex attraction is nothing new, but it wasn't until the post-Renaissance period that the idea of homosexuality as an identity really came to the fore (at least in Britain). This era saw the first reports of “molly houses,” something between brothels and private clubs where gay men could meet in (relative) privacy.

According to sensationalist pamphlets of the period, activities in molly houses included: cross-dressing, elaborately-staged same-sex wedding ceremonies and, er, cruel mockery of women. So maybe skip that last part.

A celebration of the 17th century's gay community can be a lot of fun. Especially with massive wigs, elaborate makeup, and some ridiculous shoes. Combine with other 17th-century characters for crossover appeal for the best kinky roleplay ideas. Molly and dashing cavalier? Or Molly and lusty pirate? Molly and infamous “witch-finder general” Matthew Hopkins? Maybe not that last one unless you're into some dark stuff.
 

Anything 'pirates' make for great kinky roleplay ideas

The lusty pirate threesome

Probably no group has a more exaggerated sexual charisma than pirates. Routinely portrayed as swaggering rogues. These guys were hijackers and thugs whose short careers typically consisted of petty criminality, dirty paramilitary operations, religious violence, vitamin deficiencies and getting hanged. Plenty of scandalous content for kinky roleplay ideas here.

But hey, let's not let anything stand in the way of a good bodice-ripper. A particularly thrilling yarn is the tale of female pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny. Bonny was the lover of mid-tier pirate captain “Calico Jack” Rackham, while Read, dressed as a man, was one of his crew. Read confided in Bonny as the only other woman on board Rackham's vessel Revenge – but the jealous captain suspected that the two were lovers. I like to imagine that they were. Maybe they all were.

Certainly, both women were pregnant when they were finally caught. Which suggests either that Jack was being shared or that there was an unknown pirate in the story. Anne and Mary seem to have worn men's clothing a lot. Presumably because who wants to climb the rigging of a sloop in an ankle-length dress? You can interpret this as defiance of the social convention if you like. More importantly for our purposes, it's a great excuse for everyone to dress up in awesome pirate outfits to fulfil those kinky roleplay ideas.
