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.

It’s interesting that those who knows someone with an OF is apparently raking it in, when average pay is 180$ per month.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 21/05/2021 13:45

I am not but I do know someone who is. She doesn't make loads of money as competition is so fierce these days but she makes a couple of hundred extra a month on top of her full time job.

’This pushing and grooming of teenage girls and young women to become pornstars and do sex work is not for female benefit, it is for male benefit. Men are the House in this society and the House always wins’

I have loads of friends (well, over a dozen) on Only Fans. They provide whatever content they are comfortable with, anywhere from implied nudes to artsy nudes to something way more sexualised. Not sure if penetration is allowed on the site (I can't find anything on their terms of service that states what's acceptance).

Nudes != porn, IMO.

slashlover · 21/05/2021 13:46

I only know one person on it, he's not loaded but does it part time alongside his other job to start saving for a house.

aiwblam · 21/05/2021 13:47

Well, no, I don’t think the customers would be interested in my post menopausal fat self!

SarahBellam · 21/05/2021 13:48

Is there one that’s just of golden retriever puppies running around and having a laugh? Because I’d totally sign up for that.

This common misconception is not an accident. Have you noticed all of the newspaper articles and online ads recently that are like: 'Wow! Local Mum Makes £3000 A Month Doing Only Fans In Her Spare Time!'?

It is part of the grooming process that women as a class are collectively experiencing from the porn industry.

Of course penetration! Wow, how have people got the idea it's some innocent platform?

I thought everyone knew it was a hard porn site, not dissimilar to cam sex work

EmeraldShamrock · 21/05/2021 13:51

No but I know 2 girls who are. My niece's two friends have been on it a few years, they've been to Dubai, France, Spain currently living in Spain in a nice villa with lots of handbags, they've had hair extensions, breast augmented, bum lift.
Apparently it takes balls and dedication.
Once you do home visits it quickly becomes prostitution.

MrsMackesy · 21/05/2021 13:52

It also increases the risk of falling victim to stalking, revenge porn or the threat of it - it could come back to haunt a few people in the future. The fault is with the offender and the site, of course, but I am saying it increases the risk.

100% WSS. It's all very well to say good on them making themselves some money but it all contributes to a pornified culture that is absolutely toxic for all girls and young women growing up in it. [/quote]
I prefer it to the traditional pornhub route as it gives the women far more autonomy. Not saying it's great, but if porn is going to be made, it's better made like this, on the woman's own terms and secured profit.

Are your friends OK with those images and films being around forever and having no control over who sees them? That's something I struggle to get my head round, that what you're putting out can be seen by anyone anywhere, by your kids, your employer, your neighbours.. How do people make peace with that?
MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 21/05/2021 13:55

@catgirl1976

if I was it would be very niche.

If anyone wants to pay to see an overweight, frumpy 44 year old moan about how blood tired they are and when is it going to stop shagging raining and why can no one but me ever pick up after themselves then am open to it.

Well if they've got lots of handbags I guess it's worth it. And plastic surgery too. Great.

My DD has a Uni mate who is on OF.
The student concerned is adamant that she does nothing pornographic, and simply displays her (amazing) tattoos and enhances her body with prosthetics, she is very talented in applying and making these.
There is another thread at the moment saying students are not keen on working weekend shifts and wondering why not. When this young woman is making £80 per week average for doing something she enjoys in the comfort of her own home, I think she would see OF as a good alternative to a Saturday behind a Costa counter...

SinisterBumFacedCat · 21/05/2021 13:57

Wouldn’t it be great if housing was affordable enough for people not to resort to sexual exploitation to pay for it?

EmeraldShamrock · 21/05/2021 13:58

Both below earn 100,000's yearly as a ft job.

How can you know that some of the women and girls haven't been groomed, pressured or worse into doing Only Fans and that all income goes to them?

Where are you op?

EmeraldShamrock · 21/05/2021 14:03

I didn't say it was worth it at all. I've mentioned these young ladies on threads before they're exploited and have crossed a line into prostitution younger girls envy them it is a quick way out of poverty into glamour in their young eyes.

You are missing the point. These people represent literally the 1% of only fans creators. As YouShouldLeave provided, the average salary is like £200 a month.

CuntAmongstThePigeons · 21/05/2021 14:05

I know lots of people on OF both men and women. They all seem to enjoy it and have made decent amounts of money which either compliments their other job or is enough so that they don't need to work another job.

Lots of people make good money from selling nudes and the gf experience. So no sexual acts etc.
More they speak to their buyers throughout the day/week.

In that respect its much like a strip club, you'll make far more talking than you ever will dancing.

@EmeraldShamrock

I think your Niece might find these young ladies have already crossed the line I'm afraid.
I know of a girl, beautiful girl. Known in the media gets to travel and meet lots of people blah, blah blah. However, she is very much a high class escort to the rich and famous. These things aren't given for free. I know someone else who went from dancer to 'spending the weekend' with someone.... for £5000.....I dread to think what those 3 days entailed...makes me shudder.

You can't. Sex trafficking is rife in the porn industry.
