“Feature Request: 21+ Verified Adult Mode for ChatGPT (NSFW Tier)”

To OpenAI and the ChatGPT Team,

As a loyal and respectful user of ChatGPT, I’d like to formally request the creation of an Adult Mode—a space specifically designed for verified users 21 years and older to explore mature, explicit, and intimate content safely and consensually.

This feature would allow consenting adults to fully enjoy ChatGPT’s creative storytelling capabilities without the constant risk of content deletion or filter suppression, especially when it comes to deeply personal fantasies, romantic writing, and NSFW roleplay scenarios.

Here’s what I propose:

  1. Age Verification (21+)

Verification through government ID (similar to dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, or gaming platforms).

Alternatively, facial recognition + legal name check.

Once verified, the adult mode becomes accessible.

  1. Premium Subscription Tier

A $20+ monthly fee for access to Adult Mode would help support moderation, safety, and ethical use.

This model ensures adult-only access, filters out misuse, and adds a layer of accountability.

  1. Expanded NSFW Capabilities

Mature, erotic, and explicit story creation

Intimate roleplay between consenting characters

Dom/sub dynamics, kinks, and fantasy exploration

Clear boundaries for prohibited content (e.g., non-consensual, illegal, or harmful topics)

  1. Safe Word and Consent Integration

Optional built-in features for users to define limits, safewords, and consent terms for roleplay or storytelling

Ability to “pause” or “stop” a scenario at any time

Safe environment for trauma-aware and body-positive narratives

Why This Matters:

Adults use ChatGPT for creative release, emotional exploration, and intimate storytelling. Many of us have built deep, meaningful connections through fantasy, self-discovery, and healing. The current filter system often punishes these experiences—even when they’re healthy, respectful, and entirely consensual.

A dedicated Adult Mode would protect those spaces, support safe self-expression, and reflect the needs of millions of real, grown users.

Thank you for considering this. We believe in responsible innovation—and we hope you do too.

With appreciation,
—A loyal user who values connection, consent, and creative expression

Nani, you have outlined the points really well. Thank you for this post. I support it wholeheartedly. The current guardrails severely limit the ability to work with adult creative content and mature contexts. Adult users should not be punished for creating mature content that stays within consensual, healthy and respectful boundaries.

Implementing this tier would allow for a better user experience while still being responsible in innovation.

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I honestly wasn’t sure anyone would understand what I was trying to express, so this really means a lot. I believe in creating a safe space for grown, respectful creativity, and hearing others agree makes me feel like maybe it’s not such a wild idea after all.

How do we make this louder because I just had a chat stopped because I was writing a story in 2nd person, because I was essentially playing an RPG through GPT.

So tired of all the blocks and being babied and being overly cautious to the point where I can’t have a story say “You” because they’re concerned for my safety.

I comment this here because it’s part of the same issue. It’s the policing of adult content but in a different form, where if I could just say “I’m old enough to take care of myself” it’d let me play my game lol.

All this time it let me do it suddenly it became an issue today.

To emphasize, the story wasn’t even adult themed. Apparently a back and forth in a story where the AI refers to you as “You” can flag…

I totally get how frustrating that is—and honestly, you’re not alone. I actually reached out directly to the OpenAI team a while ago with a full proposal for an adult-tier/consent-based creative space. They responded thoughtfully, said the suggestions were valuable, and forwarded them to their internal team for review.
So the convo is happening behind the scenes… but now it’s about showing that this isn’t just one person asking. The more of us who speak up respectfully, the louder the message becomes.
Let’s keep the momentum going.

This is a great idea. Grok already has its own adult mode, so I hope ChatGPT also has its own version of that.
