I'm curious on others opinions about the subject of role play. How accurate is the assumption that if someone enjoys age play for example(daughter/daddy)or forced fantasies(pretend rape)that this person would act on this with a real child or person if given the opportunity? Since the role is "fantasy" and performed by two consensual adults, I personally have no problems with these types of role playing. But is this a window into the true desires of a person? I would like your opinions please.
I think roleplay is good to an extent..I mean I'm a roleplayer... Fantasy (not like oh lala but more like neko or mythical creature roleplay) and I think that roleplay like that is fine.....butt sexual grrrrr argh roleplay is just -cringes- gross o.o

I suppose it would depend on the situation, obviously there are people out there that enjoy young daughter/daddy play and do act on their fantasies - we call these people paedophiles and punish them for it.
There are people who act on their rape fantasies with consenting partners with safety words and rules - we call these people 'kinky', 'imaginitive' and 'happy'; and I personally have no problem with them.
There are people who would like to have sex with a corpse - AKA necrophiliacs - but do not have the access to a body, or are smart enough to realise how medically foolish that would be; depending on the state of the body they wish to/manage to interact with.
To be honest the entire issue is linked to how gullable/indulgent or stupid the person in the situation is. If they think they can a) get away with taking it too far ie. actual rape/child molestation/grave robbing, b) if they have the intelligence to carry out their fantasies ie. they accounted for variables such as witnesses or evidence, and c) if they realise that reality is never as clear as fantasy, there is much out of your control, it takes 2 to role play a fantasy (or more - depending on the fantasy) ;) to fruition but only one to perpetrate a crime.
A fantasy between concensual adults is fine both legally and morally if both understand the situation, the risks and both choose to accept those risks.
If both parties agree it is not anyone elses business. If one party is forced/coerced into it, then things become the business of the autorities and the law.
Role-play at your own risk, but I think it's vitally important to have a healthy imagination... keeps me sane anyway!

Re:
Wow i have had this thought. I think that it does somewhat reflect on a persons true feelings. But as long as a person can decipher what is fantasy and reality it wont be a problem.
I see no problem with this whatsoever, providing you stay rooted in reality and don't allow yourself to become obsessively immersed in an 'imaginary' situation. As kids we always played at pretending to be someone or something else. I can't see an issue with adults doing the same, so long as a degree of responsibility is exercised. Have fun - that's what it's all about :-)
Fantasies occur simply because it is intellectually possible to conceive of them. If you walk past a bank and think of how it could be robbed, you are thinking only of a possibility. The fact that a fantasy occurs does not necessarily say anything about who or what you are as a person.
fantasies are intellectual products, not acts of will.
at the stage of hypothetical contemplation, the fantasy is nothing but an intellectual product. But to carry it out a person would have to will its execution, and even deliberately overcome any moral qualms about doing so. So you can see that there is a big difference between the intellectual product and the willful act itself.
Okay roleplaying in itself is not unhealthy. The person in question though is taking it, in my opinion to a very unhealthy place.
I think that a person is welcome to their desires. But if you're acting out a scene that could be honestly harmful in real life...such as a father and daughter situation as you mentioned yourself... i wouldn't let you anywhere near any children...ever.
Personally i think you need to seek help if you're into this kind of thing.
Theres a big difference from pretending to be a college girl thats taken advantage of by her professor or the other way around...and what you're talking about.
Well, kind of - "kinky" vs "Weird" vs "No Way!" is a matter of opinion. However, whether an activity is 'healthy' or not isn't really opinion, per se.
If you are not comfortable with something, then obviously you probably ought to simply not bother with it. However, it doesn't mean that someone else who *is* comfortable with it is somehow "unhealthy", necessarily.

So, role play; basically it is neither healthy or unhealty, for some people it can become an unbalancing thing but that is as true of computer games, a favourite drug (alcholo by far the most common, of course). Activities are not "healthy" or "unhealthy", people are. By and large most people who engage in sexual role play are well aware of the psychology involved and know exactly where the lines are for them and for those they are with, so I really think the question is founded on ignorance if it was entirely sincere. That's not meant as a slur, by the way.
In my own opinion, I think many "gun nuts" are far less healthy and that as an interest/activity that is much more 'unhealthy' and I say that as someone who has a keen interest and quite a bit of knowledge myself ;-)
well i would have to say that i dont see a problem with it as long as they know when to stop with the role play or else they are going to end up another victim on my slab {i just hate rapests and child molesters }{and that is when my fun starts torturing those sick pieces of sh?**}^V^

I think that what goes on between consenting adults, and stays that way, is their business entirely. I honestly believe if you hear what someone gets up to in bed and can't get past it, that's your dirty mind and not theirs!
