Condoms, or the Lack Thereof, in Play

[Acolyte of Lust]

I just thought this would be interesting to bring up and get opinions on…

One thing I’ve noticed in my nearly two decades of doing ERP is that when it comes to erotic scenes, prophylactics are almost never brought up. It’s never a real issue or concern, the woman rarely encourages her partner to put one on, or he doesn’t really stop to think about it.

I’m wondering if this is partly because given that RP is a fantasy, condoms are inherently less sexy, just as with porn and the rarity of rubbers in those films. Is it the pregnancy risk? The appeal of creampies? The notion that these characters, whoever they may be, wouldn’t bother with such things before fucking each other’s brains out?

90% of my partners have a breeding/risk of pregnancy kink or enjoyment so I rarely find my girls ever being on the receiving end of condoms, but I think it's as you mentinoed-- it's all fantasy, there's no risk to me or anyone else of actually getting pregnant in a story and in theory it's a lot more intimate to feel the person without any barrier in between.

I enjoy some sort of condom play at times myself since it's more rare-- and it adds a level of fantasy 'fun' especially if said condom is able to break from either too much cum or the vigorous way they'd make love causing it to burst/tear. But for the most part I think just having it be a coin-flip and having that risk is exciting for many so that's just the way it's going to be, condoms are practical for real-life applications to avoid many harmful backlash in sex, like STD's and unwanted pregnancies, in RP's you can just imagine anything you want and it's completely safe and fun, so that's the reason in my mind why condoms aren't used very much in these plays!

Haha, so this is an interesting thing for me. Hate condoms in real life, I got an IUD just so I wouldn't have to use them. They don't feel good, and creampies are too hot to pass up, to be honest. Plus, most roleplays I do are usually some form of medieval fantasy, I suppose you could have magical condoms or something of that nature but idk that really takes me out of it. I know condoms have been around in various forms for a long ass time but I have no idea what the ancient Mesopotamian condom was like and frankly I'm not about to find out.

Plus, I'm not a guy but I've heard from most guys that they also don't like to wear them because it reduces sensitivity. I guess with all of these things combined it's just like, why would we actively hinder ourselves when we can just rawdog it and have nothing come of it since it's fiction? However, like Mint said there is a bit of an appeal in the connotations of it breaking, so I probably wouldn't be opposed to that. Oh, and another thing that seems kind of hot, the whole "condom belt" thing in hentai. As much as I'd prefer for the cum to go in MC rather than into a condom, there is something to be said for the dude pulling out and there's like a balloon of cum in his rubber. So, generally speaking I'd rather not include them to allow for those sweet internal cumshots, but for the occasional scene it could be interesting maybe.
