Ever since I joined this community, I've only felt comfortable sharing content for free. After realizing how much of this site runs on paid content, I wonder if anyone else feels weird about monetizing something so personal, filthy, and fun.

Before I continue, I absolutely do not judge anyone for selling content. In fact, during my very first scene (before I even learned about WAM), I asked to be paid just for fun. I basically wanted an excuse to feel like a paid whore. I'm so happy I still have photos from that first experience so I can attach them to this post for your viewing pleasure

While it felt deliciously dirty to play whore for a session, I'm sure the novelty of that would've worn off quickly if I'd made it a habit to associate WAM with money instead of pure kink.

I can certainly imagine doing that again someday, especially if a request required time, energy, or money that I wouldn't otherwise be willing to dedicate. What really concerns me is being paid for content I'd genuinely enjoy creating anyway--getting drenched and ruined because I want to, not because someone's paying.

I can't tell how many models genuinely enjoy creating the content they share on here, but I assume it's a sizable majority since it takes so much time, planning, and cleaning. Honestly, it doesn't seem worth the chaos for someone who doesn't get off on this kink at least a little.

But really, why not be paid for doing something you genuinely love?

I've heard from friends that receiving money for creating custom content can slowly erode your enjoyment, and this shift can creep in gradually before you even notice it. I'm sure this doesn't happen to everyone, but I wouldn't want to condition myself to only engage in WAM in exchange for being paid and risk slowly losing the joy of being a shameless messy slut just for the fun of it

Has anyone else here thought about these concerns and has an opinion they'd like to share?

P.S. I found the messy video from this set--but it's explicit! However, I'm turning 27 on the 27th this month, so if this post gets 27 likes by the 27th, I'll release it! (as long as you promise not to tell my mom lol)

I too have never charged for any of the thousands of clips I have made as I love doing what I do. However, I think the real reason for not charging is that I do not have the looks to attract paying customers and would be disappointed with the two or three customers who did buy. I also love others seeing my content and engaging in chat and don't want to limit my audience.

I know the feeling. Most of my current content is from before I even joined/found UMD. Before that I only did it for my own enjoyment.

I still do it for my enjoyment, but now since joining UMD I get to share it with other like minded folks, and have been inspired to keep going.

It's a little different now that I know I have an audience, but I found ways to ease the nerves and have gotten much better at new self-pieing sessions.

My first vid for this site I completely rushed through it!!! I mean I did make quite a nice mess of my little black dress...I just went way to fast.

The thought has occurred to me about a store/accepting tips. But it's only a thought, and I'm not in this for any monetary gains. (That and I'm not to keen on filling out the tax information forms. I got my reasons, but that's a rant for a different time.)

For me it's all about the fun and enjoyment of it, and sharing the enjoyment with other like minded individuals. Especially as I do it solo.

Maybe one day I'll actually be pied by someone else. But until then I'll just keep the self-pies coming to my fem-self and share the resulting mess on this wonderful place called UMD.
