Or do you know someone that is? I'm curious how many real life people are actually on it.

I'm not a journo, the Daily mail is a shit rag.

@ShutUpAlex

No but after seeing the video about that lady who makes £3000 a month farting I’m considering it Grin

I could make millions

What?! 🤣

"Exactly and frankly, without sex workers then there would be far more rapes and assaults than there is now, disgusting but true and men are the issue, not women."

This is a myth. Rape and sexual assault are about power and control, not sexual gratification. It's not poor men raping women because they can't afford to rent a body for half an hour, is it? Rapists come from every part of society, what they all have in common is contempt for women. I cannot believe this shit is still being spouted in 2021.

@LexMitior

How shit would your life have to be to do this?

Also, the sums being earned don’t seem all that much; a thousand or two a month?

Also the old classic issue that prostitutes and strippers face - you can do it forever.

People are often “cool” about these things so long as their kids or nobody they love does it. But really, it’s good old fashioned pimping with all the hangers on, accountants, lawyers, etc,

Just to answer your questions- my life is not nor has ever been shit.

How much I earn vastly changes each month. I netted just over £3200 last month. I could earn more but I don’t get naked.

I know I can’t do it forever, that’s why I’ve just completed my MA and I’m looking into starting my PHD in September. I also have a large amount of money saved up in various ways.

My Mum knows I do it, so does my DP, so do all of my friends. They are all ‘cool’ about it.

LexMitior · 21/05/2021 18:51

But to me, it does sound shit. Really shit, because you sound like a clever woman doing something beneath her talents

IND1A · 21/05/2021 18:53

Excellent post @TedImgoingmad

NameChange189373 · 21/05/2021 19:00

@LexMitior Well I’m really sorry you feel like that. I have friends who sit in office jobs working 9-5 doing stuff they don’t particularly like and you know what? That sounds shit to me. Really shit. Maybe I’m doing something that is ‘beneath my talents’ to you but what would be the alternative? Working a ‘normal job’? In my opinion that would just be wasting my life away when... I don’t have to.

Right now I work one day a week and have complete autonomy to do whatever I want. I‘ve been able to study without worrying how to pay my bills, do volunteer work, save up a substantial amount of money (far more than any other 24 year old I know) and help my parents. And I’ve done that without posting porn! I could make a lot more money if I did that, but it doesn’t appeal to me and I live very comfortably. I know I eventually will have to go into a ‘normal’ job but I won’t have wasted 50+ years of my life working 40 hours a week to put money in someone else’s pocket.

We all have different opinions on things but it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s how it is.

A lot of the comments on this thread remind me of MLM bots. Working for yourself, empowerment, huge income possible if you "work hard enough" and so on. At least nobody has described themselves as a Boss Babe yet though!

Like MLM's, I suppose there will always be people who make huge money, but there will equally (or probably more often) be women who leave it feeling used and foolish. At least I only left Dorling Kingsley with some books for my kids, and Oriflame with a few lipsticks, I didn't have to worry about images of me being sold all over the place.

I don't judge the women who do this- we live in a society where a woman's face and body can be real currency, so who can blame anyone for cashing in on an advantage like that? I massively judge the men who pay for it though.

I disagree with the women who say it’s empowering tbh. It’s just a job like any other, apart from there’s a whole load of people out there who will judge you for it. It’s a job that works for me, it’s a job that doesn’t work for others. That’s all there is to it really, doing it doesn’t make me feel any kind of way.
smethers · 21/05/2021 19:15

Only read the first and last page and feel sick reading this thread. The normalisation of this kind of degrading crap is sickening. Imagine being on your deathbed and thinking back on the effect of your life on people. Oh yes those random men ... urgh can't even type it. Envy (not envy)

TeddingtonTrashbag · 21/05/2021 19:16

Bo but definitely would if I were umpty years younger.

Nodal · 21/05/2021 19:16

You don't know me or my personal circumstances or whether I have ever been poor. I have in fact been extremely poor in the past and even contemplated prostitution in my early twenties. I couldn't bring myself to do it and am now extremely glad that I didn't, with the benefit of hindsight I see how damaging it is to be an object for men's sexual gratification, both for the women concerned and for women and society as a whole. I now live and extremely comfortable life, earning much more than the suns quoted on here for OF, but I've done it through my brain, not my body, and by being equal in every way to the men in my life. That's the difference and I'm glad of it.

I do appreciate that OF etc is a young woman's game and I can also see that there may not seem to be much harm in it when you're young, and the money seems great. I understand the temptation to make money of stupid men like that. But I also think that many will look back on this period of their lives and cringe. And if women doing it are unlucky enough to be raped or abused or treated like shit because of their sex, or even worse, their daughters are, then who can we really blame? The men, or course, but also the women who contribute to making it acceptable to objectify women.

Do you feel any particular way about contributing to an industry that's damaging overall to other women and to society as a whole? I might compare it to working for a tobacco company - the pay is great but you have to pretend you haven't any moral complicity in the harm done to others.

I guess if it works for you, do you think it matters?

With all that you've said there.. why do you need to study?

What is the point if you are right? Why get a PhD or an MA? When you get into the regular working world, you may be right, you may find it to be shit.

I have met plenty of women who were all doing it for the extra income. Very few actually did go on and write that world beating thesis. The answer why they didn't was obvious from the start of the conversation about why being a stripper was okay etc...

NameChange189373 · 21/05/2021 19:33

@cakedays IMO the only thing damaging to society as a whole is other women. This thread is a prime example of it. When I created OF the thing I was worried about was being slagged off by people I knew, and I knew it would be other women.

Men are going to buy and look at porn no matter what and I’d much rather they buy it on OF where the majority of it is made by women who are controlling it themselves instead of accessing free porn online where there is a much higher likelihood that they are being forced in to it. It’s completely stupid for us to expect porn to be eradicated completely as it’s never going to happen.

Women should be focusing their energy on that and the pimps who are forcing women into prostitution instead of attacking women who are just trying to make their own money.

NameChange189373 · 21/05/2021 19:40

@LexMitior

With all that you've said there.. why do you need to study?

Because I literally said I know I eventually will have to go into a ‘normal’ job but I won’t have wasted 50+ years of my life working 40 hours a week to put money in someone else’s pocket.

Because although I like my life now I’m not stupid? If I had no qualifications I would be walking into a NMW job which would be incredibly hard for me to adjust to. I also, like a lot of people, just like learning. If I did the PHD I wanted it wouldn’t give me any further opportunities for getting a job as it wouldn’t make me any further qualified apart from having the title, I’m aware this isn’t true for all PHDs but it is for the one I want to do. I think the only thing it would help me with is if I went into academia (which I do not want to do), so it would be something just for me.

@MissScotland101

NameChange thanks for answering my question.

There is 2 women within my city who drive about in a van that has OF on it and under that they have ‘daddies little whores’ written on it, I couldn’t believe it when it drove past me!Shock

lol and people here think this is 'empowering' men must be laughing at the state of women these days 'dont objectify me' then they have an only fans. lol. so many useful idiots its unreal. Can I ask if you would be happy for your daughter to be in her bedroom taking naked pics and shoving dildos up her ass for 10 quid for perverted men just so she can buy a designer bag? its pathetic and anyone that does this is no feminist they are just a person that puts money before dignity and have no respect for sex or themsleves. What I have an issue with is that this is being normalised. people like kim kardashian, kylie jenner and social media like tiktok, IG, OF have ruined a whole generation of women. All been raised with over sexualised images and told if you are not fuckable you are worth nothing, better butcher your body so you can look like so and so, get fake tits, fake hair, fake ass, spend there whole day looking at themsleves and taking pictures, getting dopamine from the attention they get and they can say they are empowered too! lol wonder how they will end up at 40 years old and no man is looking at them anymore and no man with self respect would go anywhere near them due to having an OF maybe just a pump and dump as this is also 'empowering' for some women too, its laughable the state of women these days
NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 21/05/2021 19:50

All this crap sickens and scares me, for my daughter and my son. Enough that it almost makes me want heavily religious society back, with "no sex before marriage" and a clear condemnation of all this stuff as obviously sinful and leading to you burning in hell

It just makes me feel maybe religions developed such strength was that maybe they were socially necessary in the past to prevent men being completely fucking sexually perverted.

Hatethisplacetho · 21/05/2021 19:53

I read that customers on there ask women to dress in local school uniforms ... some men are beyond grim and depraved and the women entertaining their nonsense just as bad.

LexMitior · 21/05/2021 19:53

@NameChange189373

I would give it up. Spending money on a Phd you don't need and never use is pointless. If you don't want to be an academic, get real with yourself and focus on a long term career. If you are clever you will get somewhere. If you are foolish, you will tell yourself you can carry on servicing OF, being a volunteer, earning a few more quid each month and then your options, irrespective of your brains will have narrowed greatly in a few years.

In short - if you have brains and youth, then use that energy properly instead of focussing on OF. You are literally wasting your time and seem unfocussed.

TartanDMs · 21/05/2021 19:56

A girl I used to babysit is on OF. She was a page 3 girl for a while and has done lots of glamour modelling so during lockdown signed up to OF as an extension of that. Recently she had a riding accident and ended up with a face and torso full of bruises where the horse kicked her. She posted a photo of herself in hospital on her OF account with the aim of receiving gifts from her wishlist, but was instead sent messages about DV and asking her to detail the beatings she received from her boyfriend or her father, because the bruises look like she was battered. She has increased her subscribers since the bruised photos and her wishlist has gone mad with gifts. It's really sick and disturbing but she is finding it very lucrative to lie about her injuries.

She has mental health issues (she has bipolar disorder and an eating disorder) and it is really worrying to see. Her mum is really worried but she's a 28 year old woman and has told her mum that she is too unwell to work doing anything other than the glamour stuff.

Lira91 · 21/05/2021 19:59

A friend of a friend has an OF, no pictures to identify her at all as they're all feet pics with different items - she was once requested to post a photo of her feet with baked beans poured over them! Went from being a broke uni student worrying about how to buy food that week to booking a trip to sunny Dubai the next. She did it to get herself out of a tight financial situation and I don't blame her, I think it can be used well if you're unidentifiable, although the thought of guys getting turned on by baked beans covered feet does make me want to throw up in my mouth a bit.

I was prepared to write a measured response until you wrote this misogynistic comment. On a women's forum slagging off other women.

You are actively contributing to a system that objectifies women and encouraged men to look at them like a piece of meat rather than equal members of society.

I completely understand why women in serious financial difficulty or dire straits would do this. But for women who have the choice, there is no excuse.

You clearly aren't a feminist so your pov is understandable. I've been self employed and making my own money for years without taking my clothes off. So that particular excuse is a moot point.
