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.

Nope.

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 😂

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

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. 🤷‍♀️

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.

LoveSandbanks · 04/09/2025 17:11

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

Ilovemychocolate · 04/09/2025 17:13

As a feminist…never in a million years.

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.

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.

MrTiddlesTheCat · 04/09/2025 17:16

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

JamPotJenny · 04/09/2025 15:07

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.

Kiokio · 04/09/2025 17:23

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

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

OdisseanQueen · 04/09/2025 17:27

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

MyTommyGunDont · 04/09/2025 17:28

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

WasherWoman25 · 04/09/2025 17:30

Depends what exactly you mean. Pictures maybe. Talking to people - no, actual sexual contact - no, not a chance.

SleepQuest33 · 04/09/2025 17:30

Never. My value my self respect more than money.

Plastictreees · 04/09/2025 17:30

No. I couldn’t trade my soul for that, and it would inevitably be (re) traumatising and damaging, having an impact on the rest of my life and relationships.

cestlavielife · 04/09/2025 17:33

Millionaire? How likely? Surely only a few really make that

Is there a market for the feet of a nearly 66 yr old who's had a bilateral scarf akin osteotomy? Asking for a a friend....

CoffeeCakeAndALattePlease · 04/09/2025 17:36

No, not if I had an alternative such as you’ve described.

yes, if it was somehow the only available option, in order to provide for my children. But I can’t imagine that I’d be in that position.

I would hate to do it, it would only be as a last resort in desperation.

Astrabees · 04/09/2025 17:36

Sign me up! I’m quite happy to bare everything to the world for that amount of money.

Mumofteenandtween · 04/09/2025 17:38

It is impossible to imagine really - even at my maximum 19 year old hotness (and I was really quite pretty) I can’t imagine anyone paying enough for me to become rich.

And now - at 46 with a c section scar, breasts that have fed 2 kids and a peri stomach the idea is too ridiculous for me to be able to answer properly.

GreatTheCat · 04/09/2025 17:43

I love to say yes, but I haven't had sex for 5 years (my choice) so I think I'd be lacking.

Anchorage56 · 04/09/2025 17:44

For all the women saying they would do it, just remember then not to judge men who are on the other side. All the time on MN you hear women talking about how pathetic or disgusting men who pay for or even just view this type of content are. So if you are choosing to do it then you are also part of the problem.
