I feel torn when this comes up. I really do. On one hand I can understand people wanting to make money if they can, even if it's to simply re-coup what they spent on their last vacation or something. Makes sense, and it's really the way the world works.

On the other hand I agree with Anonymous (though I beg... just pick a name. Show some backbone ; ) I've seen so many couples that were just having fun who decided to start charging money, and the whole thing goes downhill quick. Not neccisarily (sp?) the pics, but the "feel" of the pics. Once you start charging it's a job, and no matter what it looks like, it looks like a job to me if I have to pay someone else to do it (or, more specifically, see them doing it.) And that ruins it for me. Just me. I am sure lots of folks don't mind, and that's why I'll stay in a vocal minority.

I promise I will never charge for what little we do. I'll shut the site down before I ever ask for a dime. And I'll take some dumb-ass drunken pride in being the last site that just gives stuff away. So I've spent over $2000 on wamming in a few years. I'd have spent it anyway even if I wasn't posting it. So it takes me five hours per update... It's fun work, and the 10 or so e-mails make it all worth it. And that's what it comes down to: Just being happy knowing the joy we're bringing someone else. But hell... it's easy money. : /

I think you miss the point. People like Rod and Elizabeth are going to have their wetlook adventures no matter what. "A little financial support" isn't going to change what they do one way or the other. The fact that they decided to share their fun with others is to be commended - and it's a shame that it has to turn into a money making operation. I don't complain about people who are in the business of producing this stuff as a business, but you even admit they're not. So I think it's a shame that they just can't keep doing what they'd do either way, and share all, part, or none - for free. Your analogy about your cost of film, etc is a non-sequiter. You and your wife will engage in wetlook eithr way, as will Rod and Elizabeth - so sharing costs you absolutely nothing. There are many sites available where you can post images for free, so you can't use the "bandwidth" excuse either. I see it as just another way to make money, and I think it's a shame that everyone has to always look for the $$ in everything.

This comes up again and again. People griping about having to pay to get something. You may gripe about the cost of the gas you buy, but do you complain that it isn't given out for free?

Rod and Elizabeth hardly qualify as "wetlook producers", but supplying you with pictures isn't something they are able to do for free. They ask so little... if you like it enough, throw them a little financial support. If you don't, then I think you should keep your comments to yourself. After all, you can always find your own companion/model and enjoy some wetlook first-hand, can't you?

I've had the good fortune to find a woman who has discovered the "joys of wet clothing" . I've posted a few of the pictures we've shot. There are more. I spent money on a camera and related equipment, it costs money to display the pictures (hosting and/or bandwidth costs), and I had to pay for a number of other things just to make the shoots possible, so I'm not about to *give* away the pictures. If you think my position is unreasonable, that's your problem, not mine.

It is wonderful that folks like Tdouty will share pics for free. I have no shame in saying that I too wish I could enjoy all sorts of wetlook material for free (including Rod and Elizabeth's pictures), but I completely agree with their approach to offset the cost of their "hobby". If Tdouty starts asking for money, I may feel a pang of disappointment at losing a source of free pics, but I will understand and agree with his decision.

What the heck happened?

I don't get why everything always has to revolve around money. I think it's sad that everytime somebody shows up on the web who just enjoys wetlook ends up deciding not to share with others, but ask for money. There's so many "wetlook producers" out there now I think it's just sad that even the couples who were in it just for fun try to squeeze a buck out of it. I think the change to a pay site for you guys is sad, you can't need the money that bad. I have a lot of respect for people like Tdouty and his girl, but I fear that at some point they will do the same thing, and start asking for money. Sad indeed.

I just wanted to let everyone know we just posted a small update to the site today. It’s what she was wearing after we went to a club in Las Vegas last weekend.
