@Squashedquatch You've been to the 1x1 section huh?

@Squashedquatch Fair enough.

I think we can both agree that 1x1 RPs are more personal than group RPs. Especially if they are being run in PMs and will only ever be seen by the two people participating in them. Mix in some anonymity and you can probably understand why.

Regardless, safe for work 1x1 RPs do exist. If you look at the actual 1x1 section where the RPs are being run you can see that there are quite a few RPS with non-erotic elements. I also would not presume to assume every 18+ rp is erotic in nature. Some people just enjoy dark themes, violence, or do not feel comfortable writing with teenagers/children.

Just make your interest check and specify that you won't write erotic scenes or wish to "fade to black." It will take a few tries to get someone you feel comfortable writing with, but that's 1x1 rps in a nutshell. I assure you not everyone is a super kinky mo-fo.

@Squashedquatch Yea, the forum's tag system is kinda shit. It's suppose to be for X rated material but lots of people use it because they don't wanna play with a minor for reasons besides sex stuff.

I personally don't like smut but when I use the 18+ tag for a roleplay, it's my way of giving a heads up to anyone who is reading the thread that there's going to be mature themes like strong language, violence, and usually, graphic descriptions of gore, but that's about it.

I have noticed that there's a lot of people looking for smut more than anything else in the 1x1 Interest Check section though, but if you're lucky, you'll find some people who aren't.

Yeah, and I do remember seeing someone in the Feature Request thread who made a comment about it asking if something could be done to put those kinds of interest checks in a different category, or something like that.

Hope you were able to find some good partners though!

I think I might just head on over to the Feature Suggestion Thread and petition for a "Mature" tag to be added to the forums.
