Hello and welcome back. TO those who dont know im a vet' in RPg's
And let me classify what Roleplay is.
The roleplaying that i do, is NOT and i repeat, IS NOT sexual Rpgs such as Roleplaying for your husband or lover, NO, roleplaying is where you create your own personal character and make up biographys and information pertaining to your character.
So please when i say im roleplaying dont go 'eww that is just wrong, how old are you? and why??' you ahve no idea how much i hate it when people dont understand the meanings.
If you need a BETTER explaining look below.
role-playing game is a game in which the participants assume the roles of characters and collaboratively create stories. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, they may improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the games.
Role-playing can also be done online in the form of group story creation, involving anywhere from two to several hundred people, utilising public forums, private message-boards, mailing lists, chat-rooms, and instant-messaging chat clients (e.g. MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ) to build worlds and characters that may last a few hours, or several years. Message boards such as ProBoards and InvisionFree are popularly used for role-playing. For some, romance and sex (though more often the former) are key elements to publicly-viewable roleplays, with the majority of such play taking place in chat-rooms or so-called "1x1" (one-on-ones) and very small groups, with other elements taking a back-seat in terms of importance. Typically, for medium and large groups of roleplayers, and large roleplays, the reverse is true, with romantic sub-plots taking a back-seat to story and setting development and action scenes, yet when it does occur, it is often (and in some cases expected to be) of a far less blatant nature.
There are different genres one can choose while role playing, including, but not limited to, fantasy, modern, medieval, steam punk, historical, etc. Books, movies or games can be, and often are, used as a basis for roleplays (which in such cases may be deemed "collaborative fan-fiction"), with players either assuming the roles of established canon characters or using those the players themselves create ("Original Characters") to replace - or exist along side - characters from the book, movie or game, playing through well-trodden plots as alternative characters, or expanding upon the setting and story outside of its established canon.
Sexual Roleplaying or Foreplay
Sexual role-playing is form of role-playing in which partners take parts in a drama with a strong sexual theme. These might include a teacher and pupil scenario, or an employer and maid, boss and secretary, besides other scenarios. These are common in BDSM and are integral to many pseudonymous or anonymous forms of cybersex.
Sexual role-playing may also be involved in various online games such as Second Life. This is a generally less accepted type of role-playing in an online community, though opinions about it vary. Social acceptance and attitudes to sexual role-playing differ within various communities, often dependent on the community's genre or purpose (e.g., adult BDSM and fetish communities not only accept this behaviour but promulgate it as the main activity around which the online community functions). It is also not uncommon for players to form a personal attachment or friendship with the persona assumed by their role-playing partner.

- To refer to the playing of roles generally such as theater or education setting.
