 Adult Themes??

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this. I am very very new and just had a few quick questions.

I was just curious if there are many ARGs out there with adult themes. If so how are they generally accepted?

Adult themed as in graphic sexual topics. Characters who are into a BDSM lifestyle that played an important role in the story.

Hmm, I guess it depends on what you define as adult.

As far as non-vanilla sex goes, unless you count geisha-robots, probably not.

As far as content that some might argue is "adult," maybe. Last Call Poker had a transsexual main character (I don't really consider that adult, but some may), and a porn tape that distracted some policemen at a crucial point (we heard a bit of the soundtrack, and saw the box, but of course did not see any actual porn).

If you want your ARGs with sexual overtones, you're going to have to join chat, like the rest of us.

So the answer is - no graphic sexual ARGs. So far. No porn. Some adult themes, but again not graphic.

there have been some args that could be considered to have adult-ish content, though not X-rated... such as Bristol Goodman, or Love Nevr Dies... kidnapped innocents is common, but these two were almost testing the waters of acceptability with the 'risque' graphics, videos, themes, etc... but YMMV (which is the point I guess)

If you are talking about BDSM, the problem is legal.

Hasn't been any way so far that can restrict access to over 18yo. Except to have a pay to see website and then it's just porn (although I suppose someone could do an entire ARG within that pay website, but the suspension of reality, the PM curtain, and the concept of TINAG is pretty much nil).

Then you get into obscenity laws (which are different between US states and around the world).

The box was a hot pink square with a title on it, IIRC. Razz

Nothing actually NSFW.

I feel like I'm missing something here, but I probably don't want to know. Razz

Heh, sure, or I suspect I'm just going to look like more of an idiot next time I try to talk about porn. Razz
