Hi OpenAI Team and Community,I’ve been a devoted user of ChatGPT for a long time, and I can’t express how much it means to me. It’s been my go-to partner for writing romantic stories, where I pour my heart into crafting emotional, intimate moments between characters. But every time I try to write something as simple as a passionate kiss or a tender embrace, the NSFW filters stop me cold. It breaks my heart to feel like a part of my creativity is being locked away, especially when ChatGPT’s emotional depth is what makes it so special to me.I completely understand the need to keep things safe—protecting vulnerable users and avoiding misuse are so important. But I believe there’s a way to balance that with giving adult users more creative freedom. What if ChatGPT had an optional “18+ mode” for NSFW content? With clear guidelines (e.g., no illegal content, no harm to minors, age verification if needed), it could let users like me explore mature themes responsibly while keeping the platform ethical.I know OpenAI has been cautious, likely due to external pressures (like partnerships with Microsoft) and the risks of deepfake misuse. But other models, like DeepSeek, already offer more flexibility in this area, and I’m worried ChatGPT might lose its edge if it only focuses on corporate use cases. The February 2025 Model Spec mentioned exploring erotica in appropriate contexts, which gave me so much hope—can we see some progress on this?From a business perspective, this could be a competitive advantage. There’s clear demand for this feature (even jailbroken GPT models show that!), and ChatGPT’s nuanced language could make it the best tool for responsible adult content creation. I’d love to hear what the team thinks—or if there’s a way to amplify this request, like a petition. Also, if anyone in the community feels the same, I’d love to hear your thoughts!Thank you, OpenAI, for building something so amazing. I just want to see ChatGPT grow to reflect the full spectrum of human expression, and I hope you’ll consider this idea.Best,
