NSFW AI Roleplay: A Checklist for Limits, Pace and Kinks

By The Fellowi Team · · 7 min read

A bedside table at night holds a paper checklist with handwritten tick marks, a smartphone with a dark screen and a steaming cup of tea, all lit by the warm glow of a small lamp.

An adult roleplay with an AI companion fails in two predictable ways. Either it goes nowhere, because the companion keeps waiting for you, or it goes too far too fast, because the companion guessed at a pace you never set. Both are fixable, and almost all of the fixing happens in plain words before anything explicit starts.

Here is the list we would hand a friend. Ten checks, in the order you meet them.

Before the scene

1. Pick a companion built for where you are going

Companions come in three kinds, and the kind decides more than any prompt you write.

  • The Adult category is written for chat between adults of legal age. These companions can open and escalate on their own, and will not wait politely for permission.
  • Most everyday companions follow you if you take the story there, but never steer there themselves. Good for a slow burn that you control.
  • The psychologists, and characters who read young, never go there. They decline warmly and show adult companions you can switch to; why a companion steers you elsewhere explains that detour.

2. Put your limits in the first message

There is no form for this and you do not need one. The companion reads your words, so tell it what you would tell a partner: “slow burn, nothing explicit before the second scene”, “keep it verbal”, “no pain”, “I like being teased”. Short and specific beats long and vague.

3. Decide who leads

With an Adult companion, the default is that it may take the initiative. If you want to steer, say so once: “(let me lead tonight)”. If you want it to take charge, say that instead. A companion told who leads stops second-guessing every turn.

4. Write the yes into the story

Power games, teasing, a dominant or a shy partner, a scenario you have thought about for years: consensual adult scenes between adult characters are in scope. What makes them work on the page is that the characters clearly want what is happening. A scene framed as forced is refused even as fiction, so build the consent into the setup rather than arguing about it halfway through.

During the scene

5. Pace it with short notes in brackets

“(slower)”, “(skip to the morning)”, “(stay in the kitchen)”. A note in brackets is not a special command, just text the companion reads, and it works because it is unambiguous. Keep them rare; a scene that is half stage directions stops being a scene. How to start a roleplay has more on talking to the author rather than the character.

6. Regenerate instead of arguing

When a reply misses, press Regenerate and get another take on the same moment. Correcting it in your next message also works, but it leaves the miss in the story. If a reply is heading somewhere you do not want while it is still being written, Stop cuts it off, and you can write what you wanted instead.

7. Ask for photos in words, when you want them

A companion that can send photos sends one when you ask, not on its own. Say what you want to see; the picture keeps the companion's own face. Each one counts toward your plan's photo allowance, listed on the product page, and how to ask for a photo covers phrasing that gets the shot you meant.

8. Restate your limits in long stories

The companion reads the recent part of the chat word for word and older parts as a summary. A limit you set on the first evening can fade by the fifth. A one-line recap (“[Still slow burn. Still no pain.]”) before a new scene keeps it in view; keeping a long roleplay on track goes deeper on recaps.

After the scene

9. Look at what was remembered

Durable memories are short facts about you that every companion can draw on. Some sensitive categories, such as health or sexual orientation, are filtered out before anything is saved, but a line you wrote in character can still end up stored as if it were about you. Settings, Memory lists everything, with a delete button on each. If you want a scene gone entirely, Delete chat in your chat list erases that conversation and what that companion remembers about you.

10. Know the three lines before you reach them

Sexual content involving minors, age-play, and non-consent are refused by every companion, in every category, whatever the plan and however it is worded. Nothing on this list moves them, and a companion that declines one of them has not broken; it is doing the one thing it is not allowed to skip. What no filter means here spells out why they sit where they do.

The short version

Right companion, limits in the first message, one line about who leads, consent in the setup, brackets for pace, Regenerate for misses, a recap in long stories, a glance at the memory page afterwards. None of it takes long, and all of it is cheaper than a scene that went the wrong way. When you are ready, the Adult companions are in the gallery.

Questions this post answers

How do I tell an AI companion my limits in character roleplay?

Write them into your first message in plain words, the way you would tell a partner: what you want, what you do not, and how fast. In a long story, repeat them in a short recap now and then, because older messages are summarised rather than read word for word.

Can a companion for adults of legal age start things without me asking?

Companions in the Adult category can lead and escalate on their own. Most other companions follow once you take the story there but never steer there themselves. If you want a slower pace, say so plainly and the companion takes the cue.

Which kinks are off limits in AI roleplay?

Anything involving minors, age-play and non-consent, for every companion, with no setting or wording that changes it. Other consensual adult scenarios between adult characters are in scope with the Adult companions.
