Condoms, or the Lack Thereof, in Play

[Lyvie]

I remember having one completed roleplay that did involve condoms and the different realistic avenues to explore if it broke. Risk of pregnancy, pregnancy, etc. I am fine without them or with them.

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?

I just don't like them lol. I don't like them irl or in my RP. I have to deal with them irl, but I don't have to in my RP so I don't.

Pregnancy risk is fun in RP too. Not so fun irl though!

Overall I like condoms and the opportunity they can bring as long as it isn't expected that everything around them is written out in detail every single time.

For example writing as a shy guy who goes into the store and blushes red like a tomato when the woman at the cash out winks at him is fun or could even be a setup for something later on.

Or the asshole who starts to have sex with condom on but pulls it off as soon as they switch to doggy.

The box of condoms that the wife finds in MC's car even though they never use condoms when they have sex.

Just like any other tool, condoms are just that, another tool I sometimes use to create a scene or setting.

I have to admit I have never used a condom in roleplaying scenes. I did lube once for an anal sex scene but generally that doesn't happen either even though its unrealistic to not include it.

I'm a realist through and through; in a modern, slice-of-life setting, I always use condoms and find it frivolous not to do so, unless my characters are trying for a baby. The depictions of sex in pornography never truly appealed to me.

I do like no condoms, risk of pregnancy, impreg etc as ideas
Anyway it is a fantasy story. I am surprised it is a big deal for people especially those who distance themselves from their character by writing in third person.
With that much no condom and not getting pregnant should be okay if it satisfies another partner.
World is a funny place
