How to Keep Professional and Playful Identities Separate on Reddit?

In real life, I keep my playful side hidden and don’t mix it with my professional life. However, I’m finding it challenging and unsure if I should maintain that separation online, especially on Reddit. Of course I won't expose who I am professionally or who I am but I would love to have a vehicle where all aspects of me can shine together.

I recently saw a profileo of a swinger that exposed personal interests while the poster was actively participating in a safe-for-work forum, and it made me realize how sleazy that felt.

In regards to me I'm currently communicating with several women in a safe-for-work subreddit, but I’m worried about them discovering my more playful side if they look at my profile.

Specifically, is it deceiving if I’m having clean and innocent conversations with a married woman, but then she sees on my profile that I’m also looking for a secret relationship with someone? How should I navigate this?

My questions are:

Should I keep separate profiles for professional and playful interactions on Reddit? How can I safely express both sides of myself without risking exposure? Is it appropriate to merge these identities, or should I keep them distinct? Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you.
