Many people have very specific attractions or fetishes towards characters that may or may not be real. Sexual cosplay can help make this a reality. Many people have crushes on certain characters from franchises they may have loved growing up, perhaps an actor’s portrayal. This type of costumed role play can help fulfill those specifics.

Exhibitionism can play a role in those who wear sexy cosplay costumes for fun or during halloween, or a desire to feel sexually desired. This is all perfectly acceptable. However, as we said, sexual cosplay is using the costume as a tool in a sexual experience. Those who practice Furry sex could be a good example. Often the inability to be recognized plays a large role in the freedom to express yourself exactly as you would like sexually.

Many people with fantasy character fetishes, attraction to hentai porn, or universes may really connect with this type of cosplay. Someone who otherwise enjoys the long creative process of making a cosplay outfit, could certainly easily make the bound from simply becoming the character on the streets to the character in the sheets.

Sexual cosplay is really just a logical extension of playing within the worlds that we create. LARPing is an immersive world that doesn’t really need to stop at the bedroom door – as long as it is consensual. It is the final step into becoming this character and experiencing living inside of that world with someone else. Think of an actor preparing for or living within a role – sexuality matters there as well.
