Sexual Content

Sexual Content Policy

Sexual content is permitted as part of a storyline, not as gratuitous self-gratification. If your only purpose on this game is to get involved in adult RP, or if your adult RP borders on the pornographic with little literary merit, this is not the game for you.

If your roleplay scene includes sexual content, we ask that you please add [Mature] to the title.

Underage Issues

Underage players are not permitted to engage in adult roleplay. This rule has no exceptions.

In the game world, teenagers are generally thought of as adults; therefore, stories might involve situations in which teenage characters have sexual encounters. All underage characters (under age 18) must use Fade to Black (or an alternate method) rather than description, regardless of whether the character is played by an underage person or not. There cannot be any description of sexual acts concerning minors.

What Counts as Acceptable Sexual Content?

Sexual content is any explicit description of sexual activities beyond kissing. And by explicit, we mean describing specific actions. At this point in the action, please make sure to tag your thread with [Mature] in the title. If the mods feel your content is too adult-themed and you have not tagged your thread appropriately, they will edit the thread title for you and possibly give you a warning.

It is acceptable to make reference to sexual scenarios, use expletives, and describe sexual emotions as we are a site that only allows players 18+. That said, our writers are allowed to play characters of any age, and we ask that characters younger than 18 in game are involved in mature situations of sexual or otherwise explicit nature in order to comply to the rules.

The purpose of allowing erotic themes is to avoid stifling the natural flow of a story. The difference between erotica and pornography is subjective in nature, and in the end the moderators will make that call.

To reiterate a common point made in the Player Info section of this wiki, the purpose of this game is literary growth and exploration. We encourage you to keep an open mind, and if you do not like the content in Mature threads please simply do not read them.

Fade to Black

"Fade to black" is a common roleplay workaround for sexual content. It can be applied whenever players are uncomfortable roleplaying sexual scenes, if a minor player is involved, or if you simply don't feel like making a side thread. To request a fade to black, just make an OOC note in your thread.

Etiquette

Never attempt to engage another player in an IC sexual situation unless you know their age (that they are of legal age of consent). Make sure, also, that the other player is willing to go through with the scene before you start it. If necessary, ask them in a PM what they would like to do.

If you are an adult, please be conscious of your OOC interactions with younger players, and your responsibility to them.

If you have an issue with our Sexual Content policy, please contact the board administrators (Muse, Raksha, Bard or Morrigan).
