Cosplay refers to dressing as a character, usually from comics, games, anime, film or television. On this page the term points to gay adult material where costumes, wigs, makeup or props are part of the presentation. The costume aspect can be central or incidental, and the reference may be recognisable to fans of a particular franchise or simply a general type, such as a soldier, superhero or fantasy figure. Costume play here is about appearance and styling rather than any specific act. Related vocabulary that turns up nearby includes group settings such as threesomes, orgies and party scenes, which describe how many people are involved rather than what anyone is wearing.
