>I want my gf to move in with me
It's over.

You're not even confident enough to post your actual work to a bunch of strangers in an anonymous board, let alone your girlfriend.

girlfriends are a waste of time

>>6148667
you dont even fuck or draw

>>6148667
make caricatures like your girlfriend and show it

basically a blank drawing

What kind of gf should I get if I draw lolis

My wife knows. She doesn't care. She doesn't really get into it because she doesn't really like erotic art or porn, but she doesn't have any reason to dislike the fact that I make art that I make.

>>6148667
never unless she likes coom

I had to tell the straight bf I draw yaoi and he was defs weirded out at first but now is pretty supportive. He even comments about what's good or not about what I drew. People can come around if you give them a chance.

>>6148667
unless it's something that she can get you in jail for you shouldn't pay any mind to it, grow up

>>6148820
Honestly men arent a good exemple since we would fuck any women. Its more females that take problem with it

Mine is somewhat annoyed that I wont show her the shortstacks.

>>6148667
You're looking for serious replies, I can give you one.

I write erotica for a living. It's a job I took when I found out my GF was pregnant 7 years ago. I didn't tell her I was taking the job because I didn't want her to know until I was actually making money with it (didn't want her thinking I was some pervert). I knew it would take at least a few months before it was making money.

Well, she ended up finding out while I was out one day and she went to borrow my laptop. Turned into our biggest fight ever. She almost left me over it. I told her I wouldn't keep doing it, and it was a source of tension for a long time.

She had a miscarriage and we no longer needed a steady income source, so I went back to being a NEET.

A year later, the old erotica books I had published were making a few hundred bucks each month. It was my GF's idea for me to start it up again for extra cash, as long as I didn't hide anything from her. Now, I have over 600 books published and make about 12k per year. We're married and have 3 kids. But keeping the secret almost ended everything.

>>6148667
what I did was kinda weird, I talked to a friend of her (they both are chinaboos) and asked her for two male characters from one of their bl shit, then I drew coom of them and showed her that, she obviously liked it and the shock value was gone, I just told her 'I draw must more fucked up shit than this' (not using those words though) and it became normal for her

>>6148667
Literally before she becomes your gf. Don't hide things from your partner(s).

t. polyamorous degenerate

>>6149374
your story is sweet, honestly. it shows that girls aren't weirded out by the fact of drawing and writing erotica, it's the part of "hiding" that makes them upset.

akshually the gf can find it sexy to learn her man is drawing erotica for a living

I stopped drawing smut (for money) because I don't need to do so to get an income

>>6149514
I've been trying to transition into writing scifi/fantasy because I never did like writing erotica; I just started doing it because I searched online for jobs I could do from home and that came up in a reddit post. I don't regret it, because I get to work from home, only about 6 hours a day, 4-5 days a week, and make more than most people my age--but I hate hiding what I do from my kids. My wife and I have an agreement now where she doesn't want to know what I'm writing about (it's mostly sissy and crossdresser stories, nothing I'm actually into but it sells).

But my wife definitely does not find it sexy. She just likes the money lol

>>6149374
>Now, I have over 600 books published
Chuck? Is that you?

>>6149514
>your story is sweet, honestly
Looks like a control freak in action, nothing sweet about that. Guy was honestly trying to put some bread on the table, and look where it got him.
If the woman in question wasn't a control freak, there would've been no reason to hide anything from her.

>>6149530
Hm, sort of. She has some control issues for sure, and has worked through them for the most part over the years. She's aware of it. It's much easier now to be open with her than it was back then.

By hiding it from her for so long, I screwed myself because when she found out, it seemed like some weird fetish I was hiding from her (I was mostly writing books about men turning into women and being fucked by other men, because there was a huge market for that at the time). Had I just been open and said, I found out about this and want to see if I can make money doing it, it wouldn't have been such a shitshow.

>>6149522
lol, not him but I've been in contact with him before. Same hustle essentially, his his more jokey, mine is more porny.

>>6148667
pass her to me

>>6149535
>about men turning into women and being fucked by other men
holy based

>>6148667
>When is it Ok to tell your GF you draw Coom?
Before you start dating.

>>6149374
what is a writer doing here

>>6148667
You probably should've told her at the beginning and got it out of the way. If she bailed back then, it wouldn't be as difficult as losing her now.
That said, your purpose should supercede everything else.
If she can't handle you drawing porn, then she isn't the one for you. Find a girl who is confident and not a beta Becky.
For if you constrain yourself for her and stop drawing porn, you will lose your sense of purpose, become depressed, and she'll leave you anyway.

>>6149550
hopefully learning to draw

>>6149566
youre already making thousands with books, why bother

>>6149585
>"Money is everything to aim for."
Sad, anon. Very sad.

I just enjoy drawing, always have. Didn't even know about coom commissions 7 years ago when I found out my girl was pregnant, otherwise I probably would have done that. Glad I didn't though because writing as a career has ruined writing as a hobby for me; there's no longer any joy in it, even though I always thought I wanted to be a serious novelist (wanted to write horror and thrillers).

Now I just get to draw for fun, no interest in doing commissions because I would never make anything close to what I make writing, even if I grind fundies for the next ten years.

>>6149592
>"Money isn't everything"
So naive.

>>6149592
It's just takes a crazy amount of time to get good
And while you're not good, you make crappy drawings, you're not having fun
There are better hobbies

>>6149601
I'm already somewhat gud. I'm someone else, anon. I'm not Chuck Tingle 2.

>>6149530
>>6149535
Looking back at it and other anon's post, I wish I could delete my post now and make another.

But yeah it seems like your wife is toxic and needs therapy. Hopefully it works out, I know that my lover writes smut and draws nsfw for money and I often try to get him to send it to me first. Since we're both artists I can give him insight when he asks me for some.

I'm also his biggest fan so that helps too.

>>6149604
We've been together over ten years and that was our biggest ever fight. I'm not saying she's perfect, she's worked through a lot of things. I don't think I would say that she's toxic because of how she reacted when she found out that I'd been secretly writing and selling erotic novels (with a female pen name) whenever she left the house to work.

>>6149603
I would say I'm not bad.
>>6149601
If you don't enjoy the process and enjoy the satisfaction of improving at a skill, then what's the point? You'll never be a master no matter how hard you try, so if you can't enjoy the grind, then you'll always be miserable.

>>6149598
I want to read your coom writings or at least similar to it
how do I find those?

>>6148755
Imaginary

Otherwise she'll rat you out

>>6149624
>>6148667
Dump her, faggot. Do not let her move in with you.
The right girl won't have this bullshit. The right girl will ask to watch ecchi anime with you.
>>6149374
If this loser didn't convince you that you don't have the right one then idk what to tell you.
The right girl will lift you up and make your life better, not worse.

Idk because we've both looked at/known I like hentai forever, we joke about it all the time and I straight up told her part of why I got back into art is to become a coom artist. She fully supports and we talk about ways to make money etc. and I get to use her hot body as a reference

>>6148667
Sounds like you're in love. If you were sound of mind, you wouldn't want to move in with someone you expect to throw a massive hissy fit when she learns about your hobby.

>>6149293
based answer
men don't give a shit about what women do as long as they get access to pussy

>>6148671
the dream

>>6148667
ask to draw her naked to boost her confidence, if she likes it you can maybe consider to let her know that you're a perverted, or hide forever like every ''normal'' person

When you actually have a GF

>>6148667
The momment I thought about drawing coom I explained it to my gf and she was cool with it 100%. She asks me to use her as model but the thing is I'm shy about doing coom when she's around, even though she even complimented some of my pinups saying "ooh she's hot" or "that ass is so big"

>>6152496
She's simultaneously complementing you and herself. And women love validating themselves.

You mea you're saying your girlfriend doesn't draw Coom as well?

I came clean to my partner when we moved in together and she said that it was okay and got really curious about it. You know, the kinds of requests I get and how what I draw actually influences what I'm into. Then about a week later when I thanked her for being cool about it she said that she used to consume a LOT of coom art in highschool and stopped when she realised it wasn't "normal". Now she critiques mine and sends me stuff she likes and wants to try, or wants me to draw. Its not all bad anon

>>6148667
Wife found out my collection of references and said she was jealous of how young and sexy those girls looked. Needless to say, I stopped drawing for a while. I’m doing oil paintings of normal stuff now. You won’t be able to hide anything from her if she’s living with you.

>>6148667
I'm always open about what I do, so I never have this problem, but I've watched others I'm friends with go through it.
The best time to tell your gf was the first week you started dating.
The second best time to tell her is now.
If, rather than you telling her, she finds out... You will not look good and she is far more likely to freak - after all, if YOU felt the need to keep it a secret from her, it must be BAD, right?

For one of my customers, telling his girl about his love of *being stomped on and eaten by giant furries* did not end his relationship as he expect it to, it prompted her commit to getting engaged. She wasn't 'into it' or anything, but she was happy to find out he was not the super-vanilla shy nerd he had been pretending to be for several years.

>I'm worried how she'll respond because she's pretty insecure about her appearance

Draw her.

My GF write erotic stories. She hided it from me for several years and pretended to be a IT worker.

Honestly I'm a bit worried since her works a very realistic.

>>6148667
You already know the answers, don't you? You wouldn't ask otherwise
