Satyr’s Mighty FantiSex Gaming Spectrum

Let’s face it: Fantasy is kinky. Even without the overt eroticism of bondage death-traps and chainmail bikinis, the Fantasy tradition (and its incestuous cousins Horror, Romance, SF, and Badass Action) brims with sublimated sex.

Linked, as this was creepily similar to some though trains I'd been riding lately. Thanks for an excellent piece.

I'm seen the whole spectrum. Rape fantasies actually ARE okay for some, but anyone who's actually experienced it in reality finds the idea horrific. Kink is always fun...and can be funny. Usually I put a disclaimer at the first of any game session I'm going to run that has darkly sexual overtones. With my usual gang (BJN), there have been some great tie-me-up/tie-me-down times...but they can actually get boring if your imagination isn't thoroughly "up" to the job. I've rolled my eyes more than once as the usual session ends with "and you are all unconscious"...when you wake up, you find yourselves chained to the wall, naked. It's great once in a while...but just like an exclamation point, too many destroy the drama!!!!!!!

Thanks for an interesting analysis...some of your types are definite overlaps, but I could see a group of random cards you could use to set up an adventure... :)
