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.

I'm with Grellbunt. I am judging too and don't care. Disgusting doesn't even cover it.

It tickles me that people are going on about the impact on the “younger generation”

I highly doubt you would sit 10 year old Henry down with his fish fingers for a scroll through onlyfans to say “this is how you should treat women son”

Not every man or woman who watches or buys porn treats women like shit you know.

That’s usually down to other parts of their upbringing Hmm

cally8019 · 26/05/2021 02:41

I don’t have Onlyfans but have worked in the sex industry previously. It paid for me to go to university, hell some of it paid for my children’s education. It also meant we could buy a decent family home, extend said home and live in it without a crippling mortgage.

Do certain people of “importance” know who am I and judge me for it. Yes. Could I give a flying fuck? No. Because I’m an adult and I have enough brain cells in my head to work out that no matter what you do- someone is going to judge you for it.

So crack on.

Exactly. They get no pension, no experience to put on their CV and in fact will have a gap on their CV.

It's not usually a full time thing, more a "side hustle" for extra money. And they usually don't use their real names.

Owlina · 26/05/2021 02:48

would argue that men who are sexually aroused by female pain, humiliation and degradation; men who are sexually aroused by incest, men who are sexually aroused by racism and men who are sexually aroused by paedophillia and haebophillia; should absolutely feel ashamed of themselves.

Just the men? Plenty of women have abuse, incest, and degradation kinks. Not real abuse and incest obviously, but in the sense of role-playing.

Owlina · 26/05/2021 02:56

so you enjoy pervy blokes looking at your feet? Why? Why encourage that?

I'm not into foot fetishes, but if someone said they'd pay me for pictures of my feet, I'd send them as many as they want. Why wouldn't I? I get money for it and it's just a foot picture..... wouldn't even have my face in it.

Right... You do understand that society and the constant bombardment of messaging from peers and society has an enormous, irrefutable effect on young people though? And has done since the dawn of time.

Article here about children with Only Fans accounts set up by themselves... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57255983

Pretty clear reading the stories that they are vulnerable children (some of whom are already regretting their actions) not in any way empowered by this site.

Lookingoutside · 27/05/2021 08:39

I’m not sure you can be fired for having had onlyfans. Not legally anyway.

MrsMackesy · 27/05/2021 10:44

As a parent I feel like I'm swimming against the tide with the internet, increasingly so over the last ten years, and OnlyFans is now one of the sharks in the water I'm having to try to safely steer my DC around.

Yes, I saw this on the BBC news too.

I found this article very interesting about only fans - written by someone who used to be in the sex industry. Sums up the dark side of being a content creator on that site.

One of my closest friends is on OF. It’s actually very difficult to earn decent money on there but she’s had her account for 3 months now and probably earns about £200-£300 a month off it on top of her full time wage from her 9-5.
She enjoys it, and it tops up her income. She doesn’t do pornographic acts, she just poses in lingerie and does the odd video of her dancing etc but never takes her pants off.
I think if she enjoys it then why not - I’ll always support her.

M1lkyway · 17/10/2021 08:02

On a different note - I have heard someone is earning shed loads off posting videos of themselves knitting! It’s primarily a porn site (of course) but people do have only fans for other purposes!

MatildaIThink · 17/10/2021 08:10

I am not, but I have a friend who is and has been for around two year. She posts pictures of her feet and only her feet, never even had a video that goes higher than her knees. She currently makes around £3k a month and says it takes her around 3-5 hours a week, on that basis I can understand why she does it!

Saoirse82 · 17/10/2021 08:15

I wouldn't join, no-one would be interested to see me in my granny pants anyway Grin. But I don't judge anyone who is on it. It wouldn't be my thing anyway, I'm quite a private person I'd hate for someone to recognise me on the street and I'd worry about weirdos and stakers.

DeepaBeesKit · 17/10/2021 14:00

I class onlyfans as similar to MLM.

Generally preys on vulnerable women
Tiny number of people making actual money
Vast majority making pocket money sums, often pissing away a lot of their time to do so
Involves loss of self respect

JovialNickname · 18/10/2021 18:07

Me, and I'm grateful for the ability to have it as an option.

As a dumpy 40-something I don't make much money from it. But it does intrude on my life (an eager, shiny faced overweight old man stopped me in the street the other day to tell me he masturbates over my photos every night). It's humiliating, and disgusting. But I am very grateful to have it as a no-personal contact option, because I live in severe poverty and wouldn't have this money any other way.

JustLyra · 18/10/2021 18:32

I know two people on it.

One does really well. She never takes off her underwear and her site is mainly based around her feet. She makes a good living, pays more into her private pension than she was ever able to before and is savvy enough to know it won’t last forever so is putting herself through a study for qualification while she’s doing it.

Sadly the other one is the bad side. Desperate to make more money so doing more and more sexual things and hating herself for it.

Lulu2021 · 18/10/2021 18:37

*My sister makes between 3-3.5k a month by selling pictures of her hands and feet on OnlyFans!

User527294627 · 18/10/2021 18:45

I’m not but saw a lassie on tiktok earlier who makes £170k a month so honestly might consider my options.

There’s a women who makes thousands every month by farting in videos!

Crikeyalmighty · 18/10/2021 20:10

One problem is the WAG culture that women are judged only by their looks and ability to cash in on that. Many Men are now of the attitude that women are available to ‘buy ‘ without the social disquiet of visiting prostitutes — it’s women in the long run who will pay the price for this short term dash for the cash with shittier and shittier attitudes in men and a sudden realisation that they have rather blank CVs

bunnybopbop · 18/10/2021 20:26

Yep I know 2 people that are on it. One has quit her job (she worked with me) and does it full time!

(I couldn't personally, but whatever floats your boat.)
