A boxer from Australia has revealed why her partner is fine with her sleeping with other people.
Shannon Philp, 26, is a middleweight boxer based on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.
After not earning enough money through the sport, Philp decided to dive into the world of OnlyFans in a bid to improve her financial situation.
Speaking recently to the Daily Mail, Philp explained that she and her boyfriend Lyndon are in an ENM (ethical non-monogamy) relationship, meaning the boxer can sleep with other men or women.

She said: "I sat down with my partner (Lyndon) and we talked about it (OnlyFans) at length. If you said to me a few years ago I'd be uploading (explicit) content for subscribers, I would have laughed.
"The reality is, if we (female boxers) don't have a regular source of income, we can't go to the next level. When you factor in training camps, coaching, travel and medicals, it all adds up."
Philp added: "It is new for both of us, we enjoy it."
The 26-year-old, who is now making $45,000 per month, stated that she has no plans to step away from OnlyFans anytime soon.
Philp continued: "I have goals, like buying a house and property. My friends and family are supportive of what I do... having subscribers gives me a flexible lifestyle.
"Be it bikini shots or solo videos... it is up to the creator. I have an open mind. There are also other (female) boxers doing OnlyFans, it is a respected industry."
So far in her boxing career, Philp has had two professional fights but lost on both occasions.
Philp went on to say that her goal is to improve as a boxer.
She said: "It all started as a side hustle, and is now a fulltime gig. To go from earning $20 as an apprentice hairdresser to (now) meeting our financial goals is satisfying... the aim now is to keep training hard to improve as a boxer."
