Difference between SRP and Cybersex

Sexual roleplay (SRP), aka Erotic Roleplay (ERP) and Tinysex, when in written form is fundamentally different from cybersex or other forms of online sexual interaction. When crafting a scene between two fictional characters, the writer's focus is on developing an engaging narrative, exploring complex emotions and interpersonal dynamics, and conveying the unique perspectives and motivations of each individual. This is a creative and imaginative process, where the writers carefully construct the setting, dialogue, and character actions to bring the scene to life on the MUD. It is a part of their character's life, just as battling demons, forging steel, or brewing potions would be.

In contrast, cybersex typically involves two real people directly interacting in a sexual manner, often in real-time, with the primary goal of mutual physical arousal and gratification. The exchange is usually more spontaneous and improvisational, lacking the deliberate structure and narrative elements of a written scene. While both activities may incorporate erotic themes, the underlying purpose and creative approach are quite distinct.

In SRP, the writer has full control over their character, the experiences, and the overall flow of the scene. They can experiment with different genres, power dynamics, and taboo subjects in a safe, contained environment. The writing process allows for thoughtful character development, nuanced emotional expression, and a level of creative depth that is not always present in more immediate cybersex interactions. SRP in writing is a unique form of adult artistic expression, one that blends erotica with the craft of storytelling for a more immersive and meaningful experience.

TG's Guidelines on SRP

The Gathering... (TG) has established clear guidelines regarding sexual roleplay, and these rules must be strictly adhered to for the safety and comfort of all participants.

No character under the in-character (IC) age of 18 is permitted to engage in any form of sexual activity whatsoever. This means that if a player's character is under 18 years of age within the context of the roleplay, that character is completely barred from any sexual interactions, no exceptions. This rule is in place for very good reasons and must be respected by all, regardless of personal preferences or opinions on the matter. Furthermore, the underage character's own consent is irrelevant - this is a hard line that cannot be crossed under any circumstances.

Additionally, this restriction extends beyond just the in-character realm. Any player who is themselves under the age of 18 in the real world is also strictly prohibited from participating in any kind of sexual roleplay. Underage players must wait until they reach legal adulthood (18 years of age) before engaging in SRP, as TG has a zero-tolerance policy. Should any underage player be caught violating this rule, they will face serious consequences for their actions.

Sexual harassment of any kind is also forbidden, both within the in-character setting and in out-of-character interactions. Players may not molest, rape, or otherwise sexually assault a character without that player's full consent and must stop when asked to stop. Consent can be revoked at any point in the RP and Fade to Black requests must be accepted when requested by either party. Always check in on your partner(s)! Directly harassing or propositioning other players through out-of-character channels will not be tolerated. Common sense and respect for boundaries are vital.

Before engaging in SRP, the players involved MUST reveal through OTELL their true real life ages. Certain more extreme or controversial sexual themes and kinks, such as rape, incest, or bodily excretions, are also prohibited from being spoken of in public RP areas. These kinds of themes, even in conversation, should be kept strictly between consenting players in private quarters. The roleplay environment must maintain an atmosphere appropriate for all audiences.

This means sexual content of any nature is forbidden entirely within the central hub area of Dragondale Square, as well as in the public spaces of many areas themselves. This is a firm rule with no exceptions. Players are also advised not to openly advertise their characters as being "rape material" or the like, as this kind of content should only be discussed discreetly through private channels.

There are many Privatizable areas (flagged accordingly next to the room name and activated with the privatize command) scattered all over Tirradyn and its Moons. In addition, Tu-Lips is the only continent that offers TG's most erotic areas for players to RP in even in public rooms. We respect and support our Players that enjoy SRP and offer these areas to benefit their stories, so long as our Guidelines and Rules are followed accordingly.

Resources

There are online sites many Roleplayers around the world use for listing Character Information, Background, Images, and more! Also, for easily sharing Preferred SRP and Disliked SRP (i.e. Kinks and Turn Offs). These can be posted to TG's Profile feature with warning of their content.

Two of these sites are Carrd.co and using KinkList. KinkList creates a PNG image when Exported, which is uploaded directly to Imgur for it to be saved or linked into Cardd.co or directly onto your character's Profile.
