While you might have seen a geisha girl, most people don't have any idea what this means. A geisha is a traditional performer in Japan and often is synonymous with the word 'artist'.

They are trained in authentic dances as well as instrument playing and singing. The road to being a geisha takes a long time. It also includes learning conversation skills as well as manners. The path of a geisha is not a simple one.

First, they must be accepted into the training and only at the age of 20 do they choose whether or not to become a geisha. The outfits that you see them wear are multi layered and the makeup is as well.

The white faces that you see are created with traditional makeup as well as beeswax for the perfect smoothness. Don't worry, this isn't necessary to have a little fun with the geisha look.

Dressing the part
What you do want to do in order to play the geisha role play successfully is to read up on their traditions as well as their mannerisms.

One of the things that they do when they walk is that they take very small steps almost a shuffle. You might want to do that as well as cover your fingers with your sleeves,also quite traditional.

Great geisha outfits can be found online or in costume stores. And with all of the success of Japanese martial arts movies, they're even easier to find than they were before.

To really nail the geisha effect, you will want to find a way to make the geisha's face white. This can be achieved with white face paint, as you would use on Halloween.

To further increase the effect, you can look online for pictures of the geisha faces to try to copy them. Of course, the makeup isn't necessary and obviously messy. But isn't that a part of the fun? Finding a black wig in a traditional Japanese style will also make for a great geisha outfit.

These can be found during Halloween quite easily. And if you already have dark hair, you can pull it back and smooth it down.

Taking geisha to the bedroom
Because the traditional geishas are very formal in their behavior and their movements, you can use this to make a hot sex scene. A lot of this is similar to the idea of an innocent in the bedroom.

The man in the relationship may want to handle the woman as though it was her first time, or in a very ceremonial manner. Here's an idea from a movie that

I once saw, you might want to write things on the woman's back as a part of the evening. While this doesn't sound very erotic, the touch of a paint brush can stimulate the skin in a different way than a finger can.

Have your partner 'write' (with or without paint) on your body and see how that makes you feel. And you can write anywhere that you want.

Write notes to the other about what you're going to do to for them. See if they can 'read' it. This might be a good role play to have at a slower pace.

You want to enjoy the beauty of the geisha as well as her charm. Of course, these things may also lead to the demise of any plans to go nice and slow, but hey, that's fine too.

Perhaps the geisha can perform for her partner as well. Nothing complicated of course. And it doesn't have to be a musical instrument. Or, you may want to paint your partner's face in the geisha style for a romantic evening.

Take the time to create her beauty and then let her see what you have done. The anticipation of being a geisha girl might be erotic in and of itself. While the geisha isn't the first role play that one thinks of, it certainly has its merits. And at the very least, it is the most beautiful.
