Be absolutely honest, would you consider only fans/sex work if it guaranteed you’d be rich?

If you were being 100% honest hypothetically. Would you consider sex work/only fans/webcam work if you could guarantee you’d become rich.

Obviously completely hypothetical because in reality most of us probably wouldn’t be able to make much money, we’ve probably got children to consider, you might already be well off.

But if it was the difference between working in a job you hate until retirement, or doing sex work for 10 years and then being able to retire a millionaire, if it was safe and you only had yourself to please. Could you forget your morals and do it? Do you think you could live with it?

Yabu - no
Yanbu - you’d consider it.

If you would consider it, do you think you’re a highly sexualised person anyway, maybe multiple sexual partners, able to separate sex from emotions.

OnlyFans, absolutely. In person sex work, absolutely not.

OdisseanQueen · 04/09/2025 17:27

If it was guaranteed riches, sign me up. More fool whoever is paying.

I can never understand how you can make money from feet pics.

Who is paying for feet pics when you can easily google these?

Yes, probably. Although, if you mean right now in the body I'm in and everyone would see my face - no because I don't want to embarrass myself.

But from a purely hypothetical situation where I had a good body and no one would know it was me then yep, absolutely. I don't have a problem with using your body to make money like that.

I’d do feet pics but my feet are god-awful and I have a very obvious and identifying scar on one of my feet.

Same re:feet and scar.

I think I'd put my morals aside if it was only fans and my face (and foot) was covered. If there was a chance of being identified I wouldn't do it. If it was in person sex work I wouldn't do it.

MrTiddlesTheCat · 04/09/2025 17:16

No, there's enough horror and trauma in the world without me adding to it.

Downloadedfrom · 04/09/2025 17:15

I don't have any moral objection to doing it or fear of getting found out, but psychologically I'd find it too hard. I seriously considered escort work once, decades ago, but realised that I wouldn't cope with it emotionally.

TutTutTutSigh · 04/09/2025 17:14

No, because the reality is 99% of people on OF are making peanuts. I know someone personally and the things they have to do for £50 is, to me, nowhere near worth it.

Ilovemychocolate · 04/09/2025 17:13

As a feminist…never in a million years.

LoveSandbanks · 04/09/2025 17:11

How rich? But, yeah, probably, fuck it!

Chocolatelollyforbreakfast · 04/09/2025 17:10

Hmm 🤔 if I was twenty maybe yes, my only fear is my parents seeing really 😔 but i’m also not too sure what you do on only fans? Can you just be naked and posing etc and make a lot? Webcamming i’m guessing my parents would never have seen, so maybe…I would not have thought of this when younger, but the realities of life and money hit at mid 40’s…!
I would not want to be famous and i’m not highly sexed at all, quite vanilla in fact but could probably fake it.

Boomer55 · 04/09/2025 17:06

No matter how much money was on offer, I would never have got involved.

Self pride is worth a fortune. 🤷‍♀️

NoSoapJustUseShowerGel · 04/09/2025 17:01

Absolutely no way, ever.

a) I’m aware that money is not everything, having enough to live comfortably with a few little luxuries is fine, I have no aspirations for millions to buy mansions, designer clothes, crazy lavish holidays etc, it’s just not important.

b) my dignity is worth more than any amount of money

PeonyPatch · 04/09/2025 15:12

Yes to feet pics. No to anything else.
in fact, I’ve had men preying on my feet on Vinted of all places 🙄🙄🙄

Same.. just need to clear up the athletes foot 😂

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 04/09/2025 16:52

Nope.

OtherS · 04/09/2025 16:51

If there was definitely no way anyone I knew would ever know, then definitely. If there was a good chance friends and family could find out then it would need to be an awful lot of money. I would only have sex for many, many thousands though. But if I could just show bits of body without anyone knowing, then yeah probably a couple of grand would convince me!

Coffeebeforechaos · 04/09/2025 16:35

Actual sex with randomers, no.

Only fans if I was guaranteed anonymity and it would make me rich, yes.

If I cant be anonymous then no

For those who would do it, remember that the photos/videos will be circulating for the rest of your life and beyond!

And? I think you have to care what people think for that to be an issue. But then, I used to DJ in a strip club and was friends with all the girls - they were not ashamed of what they did and weren’t upset if their child/bank manager/mum/neighbours knew. They still don’t care now. Paid a heck of a lot more for them than stacking shelves or slinging coffees. A lot of them did topless/nude modelling and/or escorting as well. The only reason I didn’t join them was because I’m dyspraxic and no-one wanted to see my clumsy arse attempt to shake my booty 😂

I think you either care about this stuff or you don’t - if you want to become a teacher, police officer or high-ranking diplomat - probably don’t do it, as it will be impossible to find work. If you’re not going into a field where it would impact your job security and you genuinely don’t worry about how people will view you, then it’s fine.

ChaToilLeam · 04/09/2025 16:32

Not worth it for the damage it would do to my peace of mind.

KimTheresPeopleThatAreDying · 04/09/2025 16:28

I look like the back of a bus but if in some alternate reality I made a ton of money from it then maybe. We all sell ourselves one way or another.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 04/09/2025 16:26

Yeah why not but

As long as I was guaranteed anonymity and got to fuck clean and wealthy men, why not

Agree with pp, rich for me would be:
Owning a central london flat
Owning a flash car
Trips around the world paid for
School fees etc paid for

I wouldnt be on only fans or walking streets (I don't judge those who do) as I would need to be respectable

savethatkitty · 04/09/2025 16:23

Probably. Money talks.

Pricelessadvice · 04/09/2025 16:22

Feet pictures- absolutely!
I actually have really nice feet but no idea how you market them on those sort of sites.

Life’s short 😂

LaughingCat · 04/09/2025 16:22

Abso-bloody-lutely. I just can’t be arsed buffing my cellulite-laden thighs, painting my nails, buying lingerie or all the personal marketing you have to do. Feels like a lot of work and for the vast majority, little return. If I was guaranteed to be rich though, I couldn’t care less what the world thinks of me, I’d be on there selling premium photo packs or whatever they do on there like a pro.
