But if I ask for their consent would they find it disturbing or what?
Speaking for myself, I wouldn’t have an issue if an SO wanted to make AI (or traditional art) pornography of me.
But that seems like it’d be a personal thing, and I doubt that anyone here is likely to have a much-better picture of what your SO wants or doesn’t than you. I think that if you guys have a solid relationship, that if you’re not sure, you should at least be able to talk about something like this and your SO should be able to express their opinion on it. I mean, gotta be able to communicate in a relationship.
If you do do it, I would suggest one thing — if you make something, whether it uses conventional art techniques or AI or sculpt them or whatever and it differs in some way from their real life selves — I imagine that they might take it as an indication that you’d prefer the virtual creation to them as they are. If you start fiddling with their body, have it deviate from its real-life form, maybe they worry that they don’t look the way you’d like them to. If you put makeup on them, clothing that they don’t wear, have them pose, whatever, even inadvertently — and with AI image generation in 2025 in particular, it’s hard to have perfect control over what gets produced — they might take that as something that you want them to do.

Thanks for your honest answer!
