Gender play is the practice of a person being encouraged or forced to take on the role of the opposite sex.
Gender play can be a form of punishment or a way for a person to live out fantasies of the opposite sex. Gender play is most prevalent in the BDSM community, but can be an element of any couple's sexual relationship, regardless of sexual orientation.
The gender play in which men take on the female role is called feminization. Sissyfication is a form of feminization. Although the term "masculinization" is not as commonly used, it can be used to describe the process of a woman taking on a male role.
Cross-dressing is a common component of gender play. Men may wear women's clothing, including underwear and dresses, while women may wear men's shirts, trousers, and suits. A variety of sex toys and aids can enhance gender play. A vaginal prosthesis can make it easier for a man to role-play as a woman. Females may wear a cockpacker under their clothing to give the appearance of a male crotch bulge. Dildos can also be worn inside clothing for a similar look. Strap-on dildos can also help women take on the traditional male role during sex.
Many people love gender play because they accept the other gender, because it allows them to dominate, for men playing women, or dominate for women playing men. Switching traditional gender roles can be exciting and a little taboo. Gender play can also be sensual, especially for men, who can enjoy the feel of silky, soft women's clothing and underwear against the skin.
Enjoying gender play is not a sign of gender identity disorder. Most people who love gender play don't want to be the opposite sex. It is also not a sign of confusion about sexual identity.
