Discovered payment to Only fans on husband's credit card

I was going through the App on my partner's phone for the credit card we took out a couple of years ago to pay for some large items and I discovered a payment to Onlyfans.com*D GBR for £4.74 then a foreign exchange conversion charge then the "OF" logo and a payment for £18.88.

There's nothing else suspicious on there and it was back in June. WTAF! He's been paying to watch some young woman hasn't he?

He was very cagey when I asked to see the credit card statements to see how much interest we had paid and changed the pin on his phone.

Aibu to ask him to leave over this? I'm so upset, I hate these sleazy sites and the opportunity they offer to weak, pathetic men (obviously men like my husband now).

Oh do be quiet, lots of women enjoy sex long after 40 - and long after their men start struggling to get it up.

Of course lots do - and lots more don't.

If it's any consolation, I was looking at some site where a woman was doing up her campervan. It led me to OF and they definitely weren't photos of her campervan (unless that a new term for it!)

Depends how...umm..commodious it was, if you catch my drift. ;-)

How has it happened that we have been conditioned to think it's perfectly reasonable for a man to spend family money on personal encounters with a sex worker?

If I found out my DH had paid a woman for a sexual encounter, he would not be having sex with me again. I don't want to be with a man who has such a low opinion of women that he thinks he can buy consent

I don't think it's perfectly normal. But I do think it is for a man or a woman to look elsewhere if they're not getting what they want at home. And the marriage will probably be safer if they go to a professional rather than have an affair.

I would imagine it's fairly common place. Men are easily parted with their cash if a young woman offers to get naked. I think OF is quite a money spinner for some women. More fool the men.

If something like this could trigger you ending the relationship, I have to ask whether it's already rocky? Because it's the modern equivalent of ogling Sam Fox in the 1970s.

Well Sam fox was in primary school in the 70s so I think a few people would rightly be concerned about that tbh

Context is everything. Do you have a happy sex life? Many couples don't for a simple reason: women start to lose interest in sex as 40 nears. Please don't scold me for saying so, because it is true. I will not comment on men's lack of imagination here.

You might have to speak for yourself on this one, I haven't lost interest im in my 40s 🤣 if anything other way around with hubby 😂

OF is not the same as looking at free porn though. When you watch a random vid or look at a random picture you’re not interacting with that person. OF is personal. They can interact, message, request things. Why else would they spend money when it’s free elsewhere? It’s not the same at all and not ok in my book.

Edited

I agree with this. I don’t mind porn (if it’s only occasionally viewed, not regular and I’m more likely to watch than my DH), but OF is definitely more personal. I also think it’s the type of content more likely to lead to addiction.

Exactly! Men subscribe to OF accounts for 1-2-1 chats, cam sessions, personalised content made for them etc. It's definitely a step on from anonymously scrolling pornhub.

Wishicouldnotcare · 15/11/2024 21:20

Quite amazing how many posters are happy with their DH/ DP getting off to porn and their only objection to Only Fans is because the men pay for it.
I don't know how these women can love or respect a man who does either of these things and the guy sure as hell doesn't love or respect them because he sees women just as sex objects.

This is not a dig!
You took vows and married a man . Share your life with him and you honestku don’t mind that he pays using your family money to watch women do whatever - ( put a cucumber up her bum / put on the colour pants he wants and then spread her legs for him !)
I honestly admire you. I’d be so cross and I hate this about me ! I’m by no way naive to think my husband isn’t doing this. That’s not what I’m saying but I admire your self respect and strength to think- he literally is just getting his rocks off !

And again so many women he could have got to do it free on Facebook. Some Men and their money are easily separated

i caught my husband doing this when I saw a payment to OF on his phone, I asked him outright and he said he liked this very well known porn stars content. Nothing wrong with our relationship otherwise. I wasn’t happy, more so that he paid to watch it when you can for free so I see it as a waste of money. but he was very honest about it so I don’t really care and as far as I know, he doesn’t pay for content anymore. A lot of men watch porn, they’re never going to stop, and I wouldn’t be too worried about it personally.

If he was messaging people though then I would have an issue…

Really? Sam Fox turned 16 in 1982. Anyone looking at her in the 70s weren't just creeps they were paedos.

You're right. The problem about these discussions was well put abut 200 years ago:n"To generalise is to be an idiot."

No, it really isn’t

strawberrysea · 15/11/2024 20:33

I left my DP of 7 years over this. People advised me to work through it but I couldn't get over the disrespect, he actually disgusted me. It was very painful but the right decision, I am so much happier now.

If it was a one off maybe couples therapy would help depending on how you feel.

Do you not realise that it's direct contact with people? As in personalised messages / videos etc. It's not regular porn or page 3 as a PP suggested.

Op I'm not sure what planet people are on about the content but of course it's something seedy.

DurinsBane · 15/11/2024 20:24

You know only fans isn’t just sex based stuff? It is for other people as well. Chefs for example are on there, making videos about cooking etc

Pinkchickglitterpants · 15/11/2024 20:23

Hugs. I’d be seething ! Confused and angry. Just how I am. But I hope you can ask him calmly and if he gets all defensive and refuses to answer I’d not accept that . I’d not be able to tolerate him being rude ! You deserve the respect of him giving you an answer . if he won’t give you an answer and you can’t communicate with him about this - I would be questioning the relationship!

Context is everything.
Have you asked him about it?
In my opinion it's just the same as watching/looking at porn, how do you react when he does that? To be honest, from what I've heard, it isn't just women on their advertising their services. I know gay men that have subscriptions. I also know of women who have subscribed to content from guys baking naked. Theres something for everyone by the sounds of it 🤣

I would ask him about why he felt he had to hide it. If it's a simple as looking at half naked women, why can't he tell you? Maybe he knows how negatively you will react?

I wouldn't ask him to leave over it, he hasn't cheated on you.

This would depend for me on what exactly it was he paid for. I don't know how OF works, was it a one off payment to view someone's profile or was it a one off payment for someone to do something he has specifically requested?
Men watch porn and tbh that doesn't really bother me but the more personal aspect of it would be more of an issue for me than just paying for a nosey on someone's profile. You definitely need to ask him.

Sounds like a month sub to view her general page and then a further payment for something more personal
