I kind of view this whole adult content as an equilateral triangle. Erotic is in one corner. Explicit is in another. And in the third corner is nudity like you'd find in nudist magazines from the 50's and 60's. Personally I like the vintage stuff along the Nudist Mag <-> Erotic continuum. If it strays toward Explicit I certainly won't complain but it's not why I'm here. And if that means adding Blue Sky to the mix that's certainly fine with me. IMO, bouncing between platforms is a miniscule price to pay to keep your income stream flowing.
As an aside, Patreon has loosened its nudity policy. I haven't read the new policies but I've noticed a definite uptick in what I'd call 'artistic' and 'mundane'* full frontal. I've yet to see anything I'd label porn.
*pics that are G/PG rated except for the lack of clothing on people.
I was wondering if you were still around, Anton. Glad to see you in the comments again. I like your perspective and wish I could do the just nude stuff without fear of demonetization. But I’ve heard from a couple of Substackers that did lose their monetization. So Bluesky to the rescue. I plan to post there every day or two, adding images I would have included in the video if it weren’t for the pesky prudish rules. We’re literally born naked. Why is this considered anything but natural? Oy. Welcome back!
Thanks, Clarke! I appreciate that. This short video might help you get familiar. There are lots of longer ones on YouTube, but I particularly liked his accent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-866DtH0P4

I signed up for Bluesky. I am confused by the boxes labelled Adult Content. How do I get the image to appear (if one is supposed to)?
Many thanks.
Hi, Tom. Thanks for signing up! It can be a little confusing, but it’s not too hard. The easiest way is to “Enable Adult Content” in the settings.

It'll take me a while to figure out how to make best use of bluesky as a follower of your work there. But I signed up to show you support.
