商品描述
Role-playing games offer a chance to pretend, make believe, and share fantasy. They often invoke heavy themes into their game play: morality, violence, politics, spirituality, or sexuality. Although interesting moral debates perennially appear in the media and academia concerning the appropriateness of games’ ability to deal with such adult concepts, very little is known about the intersection between games, playfulness, and sexuality and what this might mean for players.
This book offers an in-depth, ethnographic look into the phenomenon of erotic role-play through the experiences of players in multiplayer and tabletop role-playing games. Brown explores why participants engage in erotic role-play; discusses the rules involved in erotic role-play; and uncovers what playing with sexuality in ludic environments means for players, their partners, and their everyday lives. Taken together, this book provides a rich, nuanced, and detailed account of a provocative topic.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
角色扮演遊戲提供了一個假裝、幻想和分享夢想的機會。它們經常在遊戲中引入沉重的主題:道德、暴力、政治、靈性或性別。儘管有關遊戲處理這些成人概念的適當性,媒體和學術界經常出現有趣的道德辯論,但對於遊戲、遊玩性和性別之間的交集以及這對玩家可能意味著什麼,卻知之甚少。
本書深入探討了通過多玩家和桌上角色扮演遊戲中玩家的經驗,色情角色扮演現象的民族誌研究。布朗探討了參與者為何參與色情角色扮演;討論了色情角色扮演中涉及的規則;並揭示了在遊戲環境中玩弄性別對玩家、他們的伴侶以及他們的日常生活意味著什麼。綜合來看,本書提供了一個豐富、細緻且詳細的挑釁性主題的敘述。
