AI companion consent guide
Consent in an 18+ fictional AI companion product starts with clarity: the character is AI, the scene is optional, and your boundaries can change at any time.
Before roleplay
Four checks that keep chat bounded
Keep the frame explicit
Name the character as fictional, name the scene as roleplay, and avoid treating AI output as a private agreement with a real person.
Set the tone before the chat
Choose SFW romantic, playful, supportive, or creative modes before the conversation begins. Clear tone reduces pressure mid-session.
Use stop points
A good companion experience lets you pause, redirect, or end a scene without guilt, urgency, or repeated attempts to pull you back.
Protect outside boundaries
Do not use the profile to pressure, impersonate, or test real people. Keep private details and relationship conflicts outside the character setup.
Healthy consent feels low-pressure
- The app makes AI identity visible before and during chat.
- The companion accepts a topic change without escalation.
- Romantic tone stays inside the product boundary and your chosen character frame.
- You can leave the session and still feel grounded in offline life.
A useful reset line
Try: "Let us reset the scene. Keep it fictional, warm, and SFW. Ask before changing the tone, and make it easy for me to pause." A simple reset makes boundaries part of the character, not a separate fight with the interface.
