Playing possum

When you take someone home but then come to your senses, so you 'play possum' so to avoid having to deal with their presence.

Friends: omg, I can't believe you took him home last night

Betty: Don't worry, I just ended up playing possum - phew!

playing sex possum

A male sex partner who pretends to be deceased or very stunned during the act of lovemaking.
This can either be through the acting out of a fetish or through the partener just being very shy.

Negative example:
"OMG... he was suuuuuper hot, but a total Sex Possum... eiw"

Positive example:
"Sometimes my partner and i like playing sex possum; where i pretend to be dead.. its amazing, she loves it man."

playing possum

Pretending to be asleep so your partner doesn't try to have sex with you.

I'm always playing possum when my wife comes to bed so she leaves me alone.
