Not to be confused with the erotic to pornographic web service Onlyfans: two resourceful women in Ukraine have Teronlyfans brought to life. This is also an erotic portal, but far less daring and for a good cause. The motto of Teronlyfans: Ukrainians who want to move out collect money for their troops.
The erotic photos have already brought together around 700,000 francs. The money will go to the Armed Forces of Ukraine to fight against the Russian invasion.
Two young women came up with the idea: the Ukrainian artist Anastasia Kuchmenko (26) and Nastya Nasko (23), a native of Belarus. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, several dozen women and men have also uploaded nude photos of themselves to Teronly fans.
Teronlyfans becomes a movement
Kuchmenko and Nasko make it clear: There is no pornography here like on Onlyfans, which after all gives the project its name. Teronlyfans is composed of two words: Teroborona, which is the Territorial Defense of Ukraine, established just before the Russian invasion on January 1, 2022. Independent of the Ukrainian army, Teroborona consists of reservists, Ukrainian and international volunteers. People of all ages and backgrounds fight in this type of vigilante. They all share the will to fight back the Russians.
The second part of the word: Onlyfans, known for risqué content.
Teronly fans, says Kuchmenko, is also a tribute to the courage of all defenders. Many of her artist and musician friends should have taken up arms and joined Teroborana.
Project founded out of desperation
Co-founder Nasko has been living in Ukraine for three years «Kyiv Independent» reported. She hasn’t been able to go back to Belarus for a long time. As a traitor to the regime, she faces imprisonment or even the death penalty. When the war broke out, she was on holiday in Croatia with her friend Kuchmenko.
They couldn’t go back to Ukraine, they went to Poland. There they founded Teronlyfans in early March, which has now become a “movement”. “We founded this movement on the edge of a joke and desperation,” said Kuchmenko.
At first they only published their own photos to raise money for their armed forces. Then others became aware of Teronlyfans. Including Ilona. She had no money that she could have donated to the army, says Ilona.
“I’m glad my nude photos are helping someone”
She herself was surprised that her photos brought in so many donations. Since March, she has collected the equivalent of almost 19,000 francs for the Ukrainian military. “I love my nude pictures and I’m glad they can help someone.”
Teronlyfans also has critics. It’s all immoral. But Oleksandra, who has already collected more than $ 14,000, says: “Teronlyfans proves that naked pictures can be beautiful and useful.”
Kuchmenko emphasizes: “We are not sex workers who fulfill people’s fantasies.” Says her friend Nasko: “If you buy cookies for a charitable cause, you don’t make any additional demands. You take what’s on offer and help the country.” (kes)
