"how many clean pages between yiffy segments would you tolerate in a storytelling focused webcomic you were donating to?"

i would like to do a very long / endless webcomic once I'm done with my comic commission list, and do a very entertaining and high quality comic. but i couldn't do it all for free, so i need to know if people would actually be willing to support / fund it to keep it going (since I'd focus all my time on it and not be doing commissions).
it'd likely be 2-3 pages per week updated.
there may be an attempt to subsidized the funding with money from ad's maybe (thats if i put it on its own site) but those things dont seem 100% stable/securable so im not sure about that.

Personally, I think it should be up to you to decide how long you should go between scenes, the main thing is to make sure you're able to keep the people interested in the story so they'll want to keep reading it.
Just be careful not to flood a page with a wall of text, cuz some people are intimidated by the concept of reading more than a paragraph at a time.
You might do something like Frisky Ferals dose on inkbunny, allowing friends to see your paid artwork. You might release all the clean content to the general public to garnish interest and keep the adult aspects of it behind friends/subscriber only wall to tantalize watchers.
If you kept the cost relativity low (say $2-3/mo) you'd probably have a wide audience of watchers willing to pay a few bucks to support and see the content. I would expect with your delightful content at $2-3 a month, it wouldnt be hard to get 50+ subscribers which is easily $100-150. I dont know if thats the price range your looking for and its certainly a bit of work to manage friends and subscriptions and the like but you could also offer, say, $50 life-time subscription as well or something.
Just thoughts =3
And frankly, nothing kills my interest in a story more than gratuitous sex scenes. Include the sex when it's appropriate for the story, not when you think your horny bastard readers are getting antsy.
