Each SexSkit is developed around a central theme, based on common sexual fantasies that both men and women have. The SexSkit has both a Protagonist (that character who participates in the role play, but must face a "foil", or conflict before consummating the relationship), and an Antagonist, who is the seductive character and poses the conflict to the Protagonist. Each SexSkit uses costumes, props, and settings to establish a realistic feel to the SexSkit for the participants, but are not completely necessary.

Many couples may exercise their imaginations when participating in a SexSkit without the props, costumes and setting parameters, and still have a wonderful time. The intent of each SexScript is to create an atmosphere in which both participants and realistically see one another as someone else, and can pretend to be someone else. A high degree of sexual freedom can be generated in both participants when they assume different identities and roles, resulting in fantastic love play. It is important when engaging in a SexSkit for the participants to shed, as much as possible, their true personnas, values, and inhibitions. In this way, a SexSkit can prove to be an invaluable tool for increasing intimacy, overcoming inhibitions, and experimenting in sex with a trusted partner.

For a SexSkit to be truly effective, much preparation should be made beforehand. Both SexSkit participants should have a copy of the SexSkit and should read it several times. It is not absolutely necessary to memorize each and every scripted line, but it helps keep the participants on track throughout the SexSkit. Participants should become very familiar with their character's development, and should take time to assume that personna from time to time in private prior to engaging in the SexSkit. Participants should also use the days before engaging in the SexSkit to assemble all of the costume, accessories and props necessary to complete the SexSkit.

SexSkit participants are strongly encouraged to openly review and discuss the SexSkit's Suggested positions, sex actions, and alternative script / actions items, and should agree beforehand that they are willing to participate in the script as written. Participants are free to change the script as they see fit to better accomodate their individual tastes and abilities.
