Question that popped up from Discord shenanigans.
Growing up in forum RP's I spent a lot of time engaging in Smut RPs when I was younger. I stopped doing so about a year later because I found I was having too many issues separating the IC and OOC immersion. And found it best to remove myself from that aspect of RP.
As in, I knew what was IC and OOC. But the feelings you get firing off when being online intimate with someone where the same feelings firing off in the RPs themselves.
So my question to others who have engaged in Smut RP for a while now is basically how do you avoid this? Is it an innate ability? Is it something you tell yourself? Is it a trained discipline?
+To clarify, the above is in reference to about 6 years ago now. I'd like to believe I could separate/distance myself now. But I've never re-entered the smut field so I can't say for certain. Not that there's a desire too, this is more of an academic curiosity.
