My wife wants us to start an OnlyFans together. I want to. I'm scared of what happens in five years.

She suggested it two months ago, casually, over coffee. "We're already making the content, why not." I laughed. Then I didn't laugh. Then I spent a week running numbers in a spreadsheet at 1am. The pitch makes sense. Brooklyn, both freelance creatives, no kids, ten years married, four years in the lifestyle. We're both reasonably hot, we've been recording our play for personal use anyway, and we have a small lifestyle-adjacent social presence already. A friend who runs one says we could clear $2-4k/month. Real money for two freelancers. The part I can't get past is the five-year horizon. Right now we're 35 and 37, fit, things look the way they look. In five years we're 40 and 42, things shift, the content has to keep up or stop. In ten years we're 45 and 47, and unless we're still hot the brand built today won't carry forward but the videos will live on screencaps forever. By then we might have changed our minds about kids. We might be in different careers where the existence of the footage matters more than it does for two freelance creatives in 2026. I'm not against doing it, I'm specifically anxious about the irreversibility. Anyone in the lifestyle started a couple OF and looked back five years later? Did it age okay or did you regret it? Did you find ways to do it that didn't leave a permanent trail (face-blurred, niche audience-only), and was the income from those reduced versions still worth it?
