Always be in control of what you want out of life.
However, if your partner is part of the financial future you hope to share together, maybe a quick talk is in order. And if your partner is already doing an OnlyFans, maybe tell them how you feel if you've been having second thoughts. There's always a chance to land on the same page.
All of this is easier said than done, and we don't know what any of us would actually do if our partners came to us and said they wanted to start an OF.
Reddit user, Magnetar190, wanted to get the real scoop before you hit 'Subscribe' before they asked:
"Your partner starts an onlyfans, how do you react?"
It doesn't have to be a serious convo. Maybe lighten it up?

"Pleased that I'll finally get to see her naked once in a while."

"Hopefully she gives you a discount."

"Photo-bomb them in one of those inflatable T-Rex costumes with a giant inflatable dick sewn onto it"

Who's to say that you both can't share in the benefits either of you would receive for starting an OnlyFans? What's yours is mine and mine is yours, after all.

"Start writing off the internet bill as a business expense"

"Hold on could you actually do that?"

"Yep. I do. Cell phone too. Also square footage of our home office spaces, mortgage interest, and a portion of utilities."

"you have to have a designated space of your dwelling that's a legitimate office space. The dimensions of that room compared to the dimensions of the house determine what percentage of business expense you can take."

"Demand that he start taking foot pics since male feet are high demand 👀 market is covered in women's feet. Post those hobbit toes baby."

"Whaaat!? So I went about this the wrong way. I should have asked my husband to make an OF of his feet instead of mine."

Don't Undersell Yourself
"Review his pricing to make sure he’s getting what I know he’s worth"
HappyGiraffe
It might be hard, it might lead to an answer you might not like, and it might end disastrously, but you owe it to both of you to have this talk.
Speak Up
"I’m pretty sure a good amount of people would be alright with it if the partner in question first discussed it with their significant other. Starting an OF and not even letting your S/O know about it might rub me the wrong way personally."

What's The Purpose Of Why You're Asking?
"I don't want to assume anything but I can't help but feel that if you were as completely and totally fine with your (OP's) partner starting an OF, you wouldn't be on here asking this question. Kinda comes across as if you're trying to convince yourself you’re okay with it when you actually aren't."
Helena_Markos
And It's Okay To Not Be Okay With It. Just Talk About It.
"Act like it's cool and let it slowly eat away at me until everything falls apart, then drink hard for a month."
nun0
"I did this, but instead of OF she started stripping and instead of a month I drank heavy for a year and a half."
"Bad times. Better now though."
Lonelobo21
Seriously, Talk
"If she just up and started one without talking to me about it I'd end the relationship. If that's what she wants to do with her life / body that's fine, but if we're in a relationship I have the right to know because that's not a what I'm looking for in a partner."
[usernamedeleted]
"This is the healthiest answer. A solid relationship is based on trust and honesty. If you have to hide things from your partner to make the relationship work, you’re just sitting on a time bomb. That doesn’t mean you need to be brutally honest with your partner, it also doesn’t mean you have to share every single thought in your head with them, but you have to be able to talk to them openly about anything without fear of judgement. And if they’re a good partner, they will listen and be honest with you about anything too."
LegendaryOutlaw
Honesty, And For The Love Of Your Love, TALK
"Matching values is important in a relationship. Your question is directed to "me" then I'll answer from my perspective: exclusivity is one of my values and I'm confident that money could be earned in another way that doesn't violate that exclusivity. Add to that I won't be comfortable knowing it's out there forever in mass numbers, and that applies to myself as much as my partner."
"But that's just what I hold as a value and I'm claiming ZERO points on it being right or wrong. The only thing that matters is that you're honest with yourselves and each other about whether your values match or not. Key word: honest."
Inviz57
Trust each other. You entered into a relationship for a reason. Let that be the guide to finding the solution.

It seems like everyone has some form of side hustle these days. Some of them are more "work appropriate" than others.
Back in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic began, millions lost their jobs. Many of them turned to OnlyFans. Between March and April alone, OnlyFans saw a 75% increase in sign ups for creator accounts.
Unemployment in the U.S. has lowered from 6.9% in October of 2020 to 4.6% in October of 2021. Globally, OnlyFans has over one million creators.
There's bound to be some overlap between people creating NSFW content and getting a new day job in the last year.
So we wanted to know what happens when managers find their employees are still working on their side hustles.
Redditor Numerous_Method_1628 asked:
"Managers of Reddit, what would you do if you found out your employee has an OnlyFans?"
Here's some surprising answers.
Pretend it never happened.
"Act like I don't know."
- 8088135
"Yup Never mention it."
- SinTron99
"Then check it out."
- Vcardenas3
"Then sub top tier."
- jjsyk23
"This. So long as it isn't happening while you're supposed to be working, I know nothing."
"People who report to me don't get to have less than total focus on their work at all times, but I don't need to tell them that. 'If you fuck up, people will die' is its own motivator."
- Otherwise_Window
Just forget it.
"Forget this information ASAP."
- tardish3r3
"Until it’s time for AFAP."
- crumbshotfetishist
If it doesn't effect work, who cares?
"As long as it doesn't have a negative effect their work, why should I care?"
- DnDimwit
"This is the correct answer."
- e___money
"Be my boss 🤩"
- AphroditeEros69
If it's outside of work, it none of their business.
"I would immediately forget and pretend I was blissfully ignorant."
"Very similar to what I did when one of my employees accidentally texted me instead of her weed dealer."
"What people do outside of the office is none of my business."
- glowgirl1111
"Oh man to be a fly on your employee's wall just to see the reaction when she realized she texted her boss to buy weed."
- Outnabout3535325
A raise!
"Maybe give them a raise since obviously they’re not getting paid enough."
- colorabro
"Or they are just not working that many hours."
- Savitribaii
"And they obviously have the drive and time to earn more if compensated properly."
- Shinobi120
Small business worries.
"I’d be p*ssed. I’m self employed, my only employee is myself, and my wife helps me with my books."
:If she’s making an OF that I don’t know about, we’re gonna have a serious talk."
"I could help!"
- Conchobar8
"An OF of you no less..."
- Otherwise_Window
"If she’s running an OF of me, then I’m using the funds to buy the damn dragons for my Warhammer army!"
- Conchobar8
Depends how it came to their attention.
"Depends how it came to my attention."
- "I found it by scrolling thru OFs myself and randomly stumbled upon it. In this scenario I keep my mouth shut, don’t look and keep scrolling."
- "Someone at work tells me about it. I take into consideration that the person telling me only wants to gossip and stir sh*t up and tell them to gtfo of my office and mind their own business. Then I too mind my own business and do nothing."
This isn't a hypothetical for this manager.
"I have employees who do, they do great work here, and keep that totally separate from the office. I am 100% cool with that, people are entitled to their side hustle, and these ladies are really hard workers here, and apparently on OF. They are so quiet about it, I don't think anyone outside of management even knows."
- NoMonkeyPooForU
"How do management know?"
- Ok-Preference-
"We are a legal office, our jurisdiction's ethical rules require disclosure of outside employment for conflict analysis and disclosure. It's basically so we don't inadvertently we don't represent a party that might have a direct conflict with a person or organization that has an affiliation with one of our employees. It's much more complicated and nuanced than that, but that's the general idea."
- NoMonkeyPooForU
This might be a more realistic answer.
"Check it out, masturbate to it, then come up with a strategy for going into work the next day and not being too obvious I squeezed it to the employee."
- AreWeCowabunga
"I’m not a manager but this to me so far seems like the most honest answer."
- tykogars
"Word. All these saints in this thread really telling me they wouldn't take a peek? I call bs."
- SirSw0le
Regardless of if you watched or not, it's probably best not to say anything.
We don't need anyone needing to call HR.
