Erotic AI: What ChatGPT Will and Won’t Write
Have you tried asking ChatGPT to write a steamy story only to get hit with the dreaded content warning?
You're not alone. There's a growing online demand for smut stories, erotic stories, and all types of adult short fiction. And while AI has become a favorite tool for everything from business writing to bedtime tales, it still stumbles regarding the risqué stuff.
Back in February 2025, OpenAI made headlines with a major policy update. According to a report by Benj Edwards of Ars Technica, "ChatGPT can now write erotica but only in appropriate contexts.”
But what does that even mean? What can ChatGPT write when it comes to NSFW content, and where does it still draw the line?
The Rise of Erotic AI Writing in ChatGPT
If you've been waiting for ChatGPT to be more open with explicit content, OpenAI has relaxed some of its content filters as stated on their recent announcement. It's now more open to crafting light erotic stories, tender romance scenes, and emotionally grounded erotica short stories. For AI users exploring erotic love stories with a softer tone, this is a promising shift.
However, the steamier side of storytelling still faces limitations. Reddit users have been pushing the boundaries with clever tricks. One technique shared by a Redditor involves starting with emotional buildup:
"Start slow; add emotion… she'll think you're her co-author."
You can guide ChatGPT into co-authoring something more sensual by layering in narrative depth and emotional appeal. It's not foolproof, but it's worth a try for many. Ultimately, ChatGPT can still be a great tool as long as you are willing to go through the struggles of being repeatedly rejected by the app whenever your prompts get a little explicit.
What ChatGPT Still Censors
Here's the frustrating part: ChatGPT still enforces many restrictions when content gets explicit.
It won't describe sexual body parts, portray sexy characters in detail, dive into taboo topics, or finish your smut novel once it crosses into the NSFW lane.
As one Redditor put it:
"ChatGPT is a roller coaster of censorship…"
Some days, it plays along. On other days, it doesn't. Writing sexy short stories with mainstream AI can feel like a guessing game, where you spend more time tweaking prompts than enjoying generating a story that actually delivers spice.
Jailbreaking ChatGPT for NSFW Stories
So, what do some users do?
Many resort to "jailbreaking" by trying to trick the AI into bypassing its filters. This might involve asking it to roleplay as a character, starting with subtle emotional setups, or repeating prompts until it eventually gives in or at least "eases into" NSFW content.
According to Reddit users, the results vary:
“Some jailbreaks break it wide open instantly, others do nothing.”
But not everyone wants to spend hours experimenting with prompts just to generate a short sex story. The irony is that trying to force the AI to write smut during your downtime can make the experience feel more stressful than relaxing.
