I'm a firm believer in three rules when it comes to everything.
Safe, sane, consensual. Along those lines, any sort of situation in which someone invites or asks my character to do something that might get uncomfortable, we will stop right there and have a short ooc chat, no matter how long we've been rping or how long I've known you. Some people don't like that, well, oh well.
Yes, its not part of the 'flow' of RP, but consent and safety are paramount. We'll talk about expectations, limits, and trust. You have the right to stop anything at any time if you feel uncomfortable without any judgment or anger from me, and I expect the same thing from you.
In the end, if your feeling uncomfortable, and the other person ISNT offering you a way out, all they did was prove they are not the type of person you should want to RP with.
This isn't just for ERP situations, its for all major roleplay. I expect you'll get my consent before you cut off my arm. I'll expect to get your consent before I decide your pregnant. I'd expect you'd ask my consent before you decide something for my character.
In asking for my consent, or willingly having that discussion with me, you show me that your someone I can trust, and maybe if I was feeling uncomfortable before, that will reassure me. On the other hand, if you don't even want to talk about major things that effect my roleplay and how much fun I get out of my character, well, i'll find friends that do.
