Response to Naked Wanderings blog post today about `Is it the end of free Naturist Content'? (Patreon)

Very interesting article. Ian and myself have launched our Patreon account just a week ago and we wondered if this had prompted this piece of writing.We have a few very different reasons for monetizing what we do anyway which is teach live fitness classes for British Naturism. We've done this for nearly 3 years and it helps massively with Js mental health and sense of self worth. You wouldn't know it but J is waiting for an Adhd referral to come through which would explain the rejection sensitive dysphoria, the constant need for dopamine and the adhd paralysis. Rowing the Atlantic in December 2025 is a huge undertaking and it costs £125,000, probably more now the price of everything has gone up. We are finding it really difficult with corporate sponsors and private donations don't really scratch the surface. J has been promised money from all sorts of projects recently which have taken lots of effort for no or little reward. So it feels good to get back in control. Jooles also has a few health issues which have meant she is unable to work full time as we can't predict when she will have 'crashes' with chronic fatigue. The way through long covid is to manage energy levels and keep pushing forward to gradually increase what you can do. This is working to an extent but does mean J does get incapitated. Never mind the hemi thyroidectomy causing hypothyroidism. From a financial aspect, we have never been so bad, many families are facing fuel and food poverty and we certainly are struggling.Trying to save for a huge adventure whilst struggling yourself feels like an impossible task.Some of your questions raised about whether non naturists might get off on the content and encourage the wrong type of follower have come true for us and it's only the first week. The requests we've had aren't horrendous but certainly not naturist etiquette and we've educated fairly directly, we know that we won't be providing sexual content.Another reason we launched the online fitness content was that people were asking for it. So knowing there was a demand for it was comforting. It needs to grow a lot more to make it viable but it is just the first week.Thanks for writing this article.
