If people can discuss things in a mature and intellectual manner, particularly things that are NSFW, then there is no problem - but if that can't happen, then it does need to stay in PM.
Can your tulpa feel physical senses?
Say, if someone were punched in the face would they also feel it?
I ask because my brothers and I often playfully "fight" each other, and I wouldn't want her getting hurt
let me ask something
can I switch with a not-yet-totally-formed-tulpa?
I'm fed up with the bullshit and stress of the last two weeks and just need somewhere to practice escapism
can I just...give up for a while and let Ikari do something?
or is that a terrible idea?
Consistent solid communication first - then possession to make sure using the body works, then dissociation of yourself to allow her to act on her own.

That would be a solid set of steps to take in order to make sure that you both are doing so safely.
using switching as a means of escapism is generally not recommended, after all ikari would then be forced to deal with whatever it is you're dealing with
In this case, 'dissociation' as in 'stepping back from the body entirely' - not necessarily turning off the senses, but moving back so as to allow the other to front.

Ah. Congratulations. It isn't easy to ignore senses quite so thoroughly.
"Stepping back" and having the other front instead would essentially make it so that you cannot directly act with the body without requesting permission again.
Dissociation as in derealism and so on, is actually used fairly commonly as a coping mechanism. It can also be a disorder where you have no control over it.
