Only Fans Account

Would you consult your husband first before you made an Only Fans account?
The photos won’t be nude and will mostly be underwear photos etc.
If they disagreed to you doing so, would you still go ahead?

Selling yourself is not going to boost your confidence. Being treated like an object tends to have the opposite effect, especially if your confidence is already in the gutter.

Pp's point was that the interactions are what lead to anyone wanting to subscribe. Otherwise why wouldn't they just look at a lingerie catalogue?

This is a completely dysfunctional proposal.

Thank you for answering OP

Obviously doing an Only Fans is your choice but my original comment is the same.

NdujaWannaDance · 29/11/2021 14:09

A confidence boost? Seriously?

I tend to think anyone who thinks men will pay to look at photos of them in underwear has more than enough confidence in their looks already.

[quote OnlyFans]@furbabymama87 I can’t say whether I’m stunning or less than stunning because we all have different ideals of what’s stunning and what’s not. If I try it and it doesn’t work out, that’s fine.[/quote]
Really?

So you're doing this for "a confidence boost", but if you're roundly rejected you don't think that will have any negative impact on you?

That's not realistic.

It’s only fine if it doesn’t work out and you don’t lose your real job for having an OnlyFans account.

I also suspect that you’ll see for most people, the REAL money probably isn’t underwear stuff

OnlyFans · 29/11/2021 14:11

@ftw163532 I didn’t say my confidence is in the gutter, just that it would be a confidence boost.

If I do decide to try it and it doesn’t work, then that’s fine.

Do you mind the thought of people wanking over your pictures and videos?

User2638483 · 29/11/2021 14:12

No judgement - some people would mind that others not, might even turn them on.
But that’s the reality of why men subscribe

Clearly not otherwise she wouldn’t be doing it
User2638483 · 29/11/2021 14:13

Maybe she thinks they just look? 🤷‍♀️ 😆

NynaeveSedai · 29/11/2021 14:14

You'll have to interact and pretend to like and flirt with loads of gross men to make any money.
I can't imagine many spouses feeling comfortable with that for many reasons not least concern for your safety and well-being.

Greenmarmalade · 29/11/2021 14:15

I hope you really unpick why you want to do this and see if there’s anything else that you could do to achieve the same.

why do you feel having men pay to look at your body makes you feel confident? Won’t this confidence take a dive when you age and are no longer sexually attractive to strangers?

Do you want to buy into something that promotes women as sexual objects to be bought and sold?

OnlyFans · 29/11/2021 14:15

@User2638483 I just wouldn’t really think about it, if I’m honest.

I’m not really interested in making videos, only photos.

OP posts:
Greenmarmalade · 29/11/2021 14:16

Think about it.
Think about who might get hold of your pictures.

Sure, this whole plan makes your confidence sound like it's in a really healthy place.

OnlyFans · 29/11/2021 14:17

@Greenmarmalade It is not something I would carry on long-term and am fully aware at a certain point in my life, I may not be attractive to others.

OP posts:
User2638483 · 29/11/2021 14:20

Oh right ok. So no vids, no messaging or interacting with subscribers…. Could always give it a go but I’m not sure you’d get any subscribers? It’s a bit of a flooded marketplace

fantasmasgoria1 · 29/11/2021 18:03

No one is attractive to everyone. I have never seen only fans nor would I look at it but I'm sure the people on there are only attractive to some not all.

Ew.

Grin that was unintentional but did make me laugh
ComtesseDeSpair · 29/11/2021 18:53

Why would anyone pay to see photos of an average woman in her underwear when they can get free photos and videos of porn stars and glamour models naked on any porn website?

The people who make money on Only Fans are those who put in hours a day making personalalised video and interactive content for their “fans.” Don’t believe any website or motivational speaker which says otherwise.

Notashandyta · 29/11/2021 18:53

Think alot of men would like anyone who's nude tbh even if yhey look a but like the back end of a bus.

Doesn't prove anything.

And your marriage isn't great if you needed to ask that question.

Would you like it if your hubby started interacting with girls on only fans?

Genuinely interested.

OnlyFans · 29/11/2021 19:00

@ComtesseDeSpair Because there will be men who are attracted to all different types of women and there is clearly a market for it, hence why OnlyFans exists.

Nobody makes money on Only Fans by posting a few pictures of themselves in their underwear, unless they are already well known adult entertainers or glamour models. The money is in the interactive content. And if you’re thinking of doing this purely for a confidence boost, it isn’t going to do much for your confidence to realise that nobody has been interested in buying your photos, is it?

It’s the same as MLM, where some people already in the game will pretend anyone can join up and become a millionaire within six months. It just isn’t the case.

NeedsCharging · 29/11/2021 19:17

OnlyFans

Men will not pay the same price to see you in an Ann Summers Teddy in your conservatory when they can pay for a naked woman who will eat éclairs in the buff because they asked her to while she calls him a naughty boy.

As with anything like this you need to know your market.
Unless you can offer them something completely off the wall/niche then you will not get the validation or income you seem to want.
