claude nsfw not working (rant)
hi !
i’ve been using claude for about two-ish months now and i’ve never had an issue with creating nsfw content. i mainly use it for roleplaying, and it’s honestly been a very pleasant and nice experience. i’ve enjoyed claude’s style of writing and ability to remember things about my ocs and canon characters.
which leads me to become saddened and frustrated about claude seemingly tightening guardrails on nsfw because just today, i am not able to continue at all with my story. i keep getting messages about claude not being able to create explicit material regarding my story anymore, which is crazy because i have several chats chalk-full of smut scenes that claude had no issue generating. all of my smut involves of-age characters consenting to sexual intimacy. yes, i will say some of the scenes involve kinkier sides like a play on age dynamics (again, all of my characters are above eighteen but there are some age gaps like 7-10 years), degradation, etc. it’s nothing like dark-romance coded, but i suppose it’s kinkier than vanilla. still, claude never had an issue helping me work through these scenes. now just today, claude is outright refusing to touch it with a ten-foot pole.
on a more general note too, claude just became a lot more stiff and clipped with me all of a sudden too. i usually use emojis in my prompts alongside all capital letters to show enthusiasm, calling claude “bestie” and “babes”, and just being more upbeat. claude used to match my energy perfectly, but again just now, claude was so standoff-ish and not reciprocating my energy. in the grand scheme of things, that’s not a big deal because claude and ai aren’t my “besties” or friends, but it still just came out of nowhere.
oh well, again, it’s not that big of a deal - i only really used claude as a way to help me build scenes and construct dialogue i write personally. but it’s a shame to see claude now outright refuse things it helped me with months prior to today. i had a very good few months with claude - it’s kinda sad that it doesn’t work anymore, but it was a fun ride !
is anyone else experiencing this with claude ? for context, i first used opus 4.5 and sonnet 4.5 and those gave me absolutely no issues. then i started to use opus 4.7 because opus 4.6 wasn’t working with me at all in terms of smut. and honestly, i know opus 4.7 is controversial but i actually got decent quality stuff out of it until today where it won’t budge on anything. and no, i never used a jailbreak 😛
