Gen Z is super creative when it comes to modern day prostitution, they’ve done things millennials never even considered in a very short amount of time (I think they are just 18-24ish??). It’s very interesting. They will come up with something else for sure. Click on any young female twitch streamer these days - they are just straight up asking men for money for being attractive and to pay their bills…. and they are receiving it! It works for them, so they will keep doing it. They have this all figured out.


Yea we pretty much gave that shit away for free just for fun or to inflate our ego.

Finding joy in others misery…

Interesting energy

That’s what you seriously got from this?? CAP!!!

It’s also intriguing when people say …

“Not me”

“Well I wouldn’t do that”

Why try so hard to differentiate yourself from the actions of others when you your self say that you don’t have a dog in the race.

You trying to prove something to us or yourself?

“ Why try so hard to differentiate yourself from the actions of others when you your self say that you don’t have a dog in the race.”

What—?

Speak for yourself cuz you always hopping on this website trynna stand out from the crowd. You just bitter cuz you never got shit to talk about and the only time you’re acknowledged is when your shittin on someone else’s thread.

And seriously. WHAT THE FUCK are you talking about… “ Why try so hard to differentiate yourself from the actions of others when you your self say that you don’t have a dog in the race.”

What the fuck..?? I don’t do porn. Unless you don’t even understand your own words.

Just weird tis all

Because you’re a guy.

So people have started to shift blame to Gen Z for random things now? 🤔 Gen Z are not solely responsible for dropping their clothes on onlyfans.

Sexuality is a power struggle.

These hoes make incels pay for barely revealing pictures or videos, but there is the other side to it. As a notorious example it was interesting to watch the slow degradation of belle delphine.

Everybody can see theses hoes' pictures without paying. They're always leaked, and they know it, it's actually part of the game. I would never pay a twitch/OF hoe (contrary to what DXP lore wants to believe), but I got bombarded with more pics and videos of BD than I ever wanted to see.

There was something erotic to witness her progression from the total bitch selling her bathwater to incels and losers, to more and more risque content. The content always gets more and more risque, because they have to keep their audience attention. It's a slippery slope and they know it from the start.

The degradation of belle delphine was a premeditated process, and let's be honest, one of the most arousing things of 2020.

The charm broke when she started doing actual fucking on cam, and the interest was lost, but the balance had already been restored.

I would say that she is the most succesful hoe, because she accomplished the whole journey and delivered completely.

The erotic potentials, realized and unrealized, are powers that touch to the divine.

I was contemplating the opportunity of having my own OF page. I'm sure there is a market for a gracefully matured man with a hard to conquer attention.

Of course it would be the opposite process as a female page. A slow buildup of adoration, rather than a degradation. I imagine.

But in reality I probably don't have enough time for this project.

Onlyfans creates a safe space for SW to sell their wares without putting their physical bodies at risk. No need to give up your earnings to an abusive pimp for ‘security’ either. During a pandemic especially, it was a godsend for many to pay their bills and stay safe at home.

This particular platform may be shutting down but watch 10 others spring up in its place looking to duplicate its success.

If your main complaint is pop ups… get an add blocker.

If your mad that women can get attention and a check… get in line. That’s the oldest line in the patriarchy book. You can’t own someone’s sexuality. Shaming them for profiting off of it is a tired spiel.

If you find it so disgusting that’s all good and well. But the fact you get only fans ads on your devices tells us all you do like to peruse 😜

^^^ This deserves a second and a third read.

@Emhendo

I have serious concerns why you would rejoice in this and why you are getting ads for it. The algorithm has got your number or whom ever also uses you browser account.

As for your joy? There is nothing good about that site ending for the reasons listed above. Probation is pointless so long as there is demand. Where there is demand supplies will appear. They go hand and hand. By your own admission this industry should be accept and legal. Now people have lost a safe respectable way to supply without a middleman reaping most of the gains. Wouldn't be surprised if the MULTI BILLION DOLLAR industry had a hand in this😏

Since you are aware of the benefits to others and has zero actual impact on you, joy? That joy you feel doesn't stem from anything positive rather then some thing else.



Actually you remind me of one of my favorite chappelle skits😁

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? 😂😂 YOU ARE RIDICULOUS TO BELIEVE THAT ONLYFANS WAS EVER TRULY HELPING ANYONE.

YOU ARE THE MOST FAKE WOKE PERSON EVER TO APPROACH THIS THREAD.

You don’t know the first fuckin thing about the industry 😂 They shutting down OF because of OBVIOUS reasons.

It’s also not always about money. Neither for the company or it’s employees.

People do things for power, control, image, lust, feed their flesh.

There has been sex trafficking, scams of women not delivering full content and supplying demand, this place gives perverted narcissists a platform to have instant gratification, child pornography, they don’t require ID to subscribe to content or upload, cases of children being bullied at school because their mother/family porn is public. Celebrities making only fans as if they don’t have enough money is corny is fuck. We are in the middle of a pandemic.

It’s just the best business move to get rid of it all together. So again.. Fuck do you know?

I think the whole website needs to go all together. People paying are wasting their money away, but hey - I’m not here to discuss that part. Okay??

Onlyfans is not that private. This is not hard information to figure out. It’s right in our face everyday on regular social media. “Onlyfans this”, “teacher on Onlyfans that”… People just got too much prove and it was a really toxic environment while it lasted.

I’m not against prostitution or sex work. I think I tried my best to make that clear.. But people hear/read what they want, or something is wrong in their head that is not my problem.

Anyways. As far as me being a “player hater”… You can slow your roll. Take a chill pill.

Y’all always trynna show me some black shit cuz I’m black, obviously

True in some cases, but what about the women who do it at their own free will. Look up Cynthia Payne and Madam Whiplash as well as for proof men will shag anything. Or a more recent example Brooke Magnanti

I think some people are confusing actual prostitution with a single mother selling a few pictures of her in a swimsuit. You must be desperate if you pay for something like that, something which is free in athletics magazine.

I think there is also the assumption everyone on OF is rich. The same opinion was formed about YouTubers a decade ago. I think most don't earn enough to buy a packet of cigarettes.


That’s all I’m sayin

No, I am the real deal. I have a liberal philosophy in the truest since. But I'm not stupid and have common sense.

Considering what you have said, you have valid points.

Which leads me to believe Onlyfans would have dealing with these concerns themselves, especially legal liability. They might just cashing out instead of regulating themselves.

Financial institutions have regulations to prevent and reduce the concerns you have pointed out. Don frank, HIPPA, Osha come to mind. As in verifying identities, monitoring activities, enforcing & compensating transactions, and protecting user and provider data. All of this is the final step in legitimizing something, regulations( rules and standards).

That really would be a lot of work and enough lawsuits if they don't do these things to make Trump's legal record look saintly. Since Onlyfans is a for profit business it's impossible for this not yo be a major factor in their choice. The point that this is still a huge loss for the legitimate people on the platform still stands. Hopefully people will step up and rebuild the platform from scratch and do the things necessary to create a legitimate platform. Like I said a billion dollar industry and to be the sole middleman in that would be huge $ $ $ $ $ , if they are willing to put in the work. If they pay their taxes the government would Stfu and leave them alone too lol.

No dude, I didn't give a shit about the amount of natural melatonin you got.

Good news, I dont have to shut down my onlyfans!

https://www.nbc29.com/2021/08/25/onlyfans-reverses-explicit-content-ban-after-outcry/<strong>OnlyFans reverses explicit content ban after outcry(AP) - OnlyFans says it has suspended a plan to ban sexually explicit content following an outcry from its creators and advocates for sex workers.

The subscription site said in a prepared statement Wednesday that the planned ban was “no longer required due to banking partners’ assurances that OnlyFans can support all genres of creators” and declined to answer further questions.

OnlyFans had said last Thursday that it would ban explicit content starting Oct. 1, blaming policies of banks and payment processors for the policy change. “The new rules are necessary to comply with the requirements of these financial institutions and are the only way to help ensure the long-term sustainability of OnlyFans,” the company said in a message to users last week.

OnlyFans has become famous as a place where sex workers can get paid in a safer way as well as a space for celebrities to interact with fans.

Last week’s abrupt change upset the site’s creators, many of whom threatened to move to another website. A lot of sex workers joined OnlyFans during the pandemic when in-person venues shut down or became more dangerous because of COVID-19. The site has been tremendously lucrative for some people, allowing them to earn thousands every month. OnlyFans says it has 130 million users and 2 million creators who have collectively earned $ 5 billion.

Lacy Lennon, who says she makes tens of thousands of dollars a month from OnlyFans charging $ 100 a minute for custom videos, remains skeptical on the ban reversal. “What’s scary is what’s the safety on this? How do we know it won’t happen again?”

There are other sites where people can pay for porn, and a crop of new ones started trying to lure upset OnlyFans creators. Rapper Tyga was promoting his plans for a new platform called myystar in media interviews after OnlyFans announced their ban, saying, “We’re not putting a limit to any content that you do.”

“We’ve been in the adult industry for 20 years and we’re tired of seeing sex workers get bullied and exploited by the platforms that make the money off them,” said Mattie McCoy, whose Nevada company is also developing a site that could offer an alternative to OnlyFans for sex workers, called Naughty Popcorn.

Advocates had criticized OnlyFans’ planned ban, saying they were concerned it would push people into more dangerous street-based sex work. They say taking away a safer virtual space and cutting people’s income makes them more vulnerable to the risk of being trafficked.

“Not having the online outlet is going to hinder and harm a lot of people. Online is much safer, particularly for trans and gender nonconforming folks,” said LaLa Zannell, the ACLU’s trans justice campaign manager who leads the rights group’s effort to decriminalize sex work.

The online porn industry is changing amid concerns about sex trafficking and the exploitation of minors. Two 2018 laws, the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act and the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, were meant to stop sex trafficking online, and led some spaces to shut down. But many sex workers say these changes have also made their jobs more dangerous.

Elected officials had also raised concerns about OnlyFans. A bipartisan group of over 100 members of Congress called on the Justice Department to investigate OnlyFans earlier in August, saying the site was a “major marketplace” for sexual videos with children in them. The letter cited anti-porn group National Center on Sexual Exploitation, which has its origins in the faith-based group Morality in Media, as a source, as well as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Sex workers and their advocates say conservative and religious groups are trying to erase sex from the internet under the guise of combating sex trafficking and child pornography.

“The only reason they’re going after porn sites is because they’re ideologically opposed to sexual content,” said Cathy Reisenwitz, a writer and OnlyFans creator who makes between $ 1,600 and $ 3,500 a month on the site. “Trafficking and porn are totally different.”

OnlyFans CEO Tim Stokely blamed banks such as Bank of New York Mellon for the planned ban in an interview with the Financial Times on Tuesday, saying they refuse the site’s business.

Adult-content companies have to navigate higher fees and requirements from financial companies beyond what most retailers encounter; others won’t touch it. Both Mastercard and Visa last year began blocking customers from using credit cards on Pornhub after accusations that the site had videos of rape and underage sex. American Express cards, meanwhile, can’t be used on online pornography. Stripe won’t process adult content.

“I want to be optimistic, but I’m very skeptical,” said Phoenix Calida, an OnlyFans creator who works with nonprofit advocacy group Sex Workers Outreach Project USA. “It seems as though OF changed without consulting sex workers, and I’ve not seen anything that indicates that they understand why that’s a problem.”

Calida hopes the reversal stays, but added “I am worried that the company still doesn’t seem to think it needs to consult sex workers before policy changes instead of responding to criticism after.”

The anti-porn group, NCOSE, said it “remains steadfast in holding OnlyFans accountable for enabling abuse and exploitation” and called its age verification process “useless in practice.”

The letter cited anti-porn group National Center on Sexual Exploitation, which has its origins in the faith-based group Morality in Media, as a source, as well as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Sex workers and their advocates say conservative and religious groups are trying to erase sex from the internet under the guise of combating sex trafficking and child pornography.

“The only reason they’re going after porn sites is because they’re ideologically opposed to sexual content,” said Cathy Reisenwitz, a writer and OnlyFans creator who makes between $ 1,600 and $ 3,500 a month on the site. “Trafficking and porn are totally different.”

OnlyFans CEO Tim Stokely blamed banks such as Bank of New York Mellon for the planned ban in an interview with the Financial Times on Tuesday, saying they refuse the site’s business.

Adult-content companies have to navigate higher fees and requirements from financial companies beyond what most retailers encounter; others won’t touch it. Both Mastercard and Visa last year began blocking customers from using credit cards on Pornhub after accusations that the site had videos of rape and underage sex. American Express cards, meanwhile, can’t be used on online pornography. Stripe won’t process adult content.

“I want to be optimistic, but I’m very skeptical,” said Phoenix Calida, an OnlyFans creator who works with nonprofit advocacy group Sex Workers Outreach Project USA. “It seems as though OF changed without consulting sex workers, and I’ve not seen anything that indicates that they understand why that’s a problem.”

Calida hopes the reversal stays, but added “I am worried that the company still doesn’t seem to think it needs to consult sex workers before policy changes instead of responding to criticism after.”

The anti-porn group, NCOSE, said it “remains steadfast in holding OnlyFans accountable for enabling abuse and exploitation” and called its age verification process “useless in practice.”

The people of OnlyFans will find somewhere else on the internet to bust it wide open after OnlyFans goes away.

Porn reminds me of animals after they've been hunted and their bodies are splayed out, with their limbs tied to poles. Even the poses are the same. Look at my bare hide! Do you fancy my specimen?!

lol, as if dating (and all the rituals that come with that - be it online, on social media platforms or in the physical world) is any different. And not just the act of dating itself - but also the preparations (every form of flirting or sowing off) - starting with the early years of childhood. Porn is basically an exploitation of the mating instincts. And same goes for prostitution. Just faking the act of mating - for the sake of pleasure.... without the natural repercussions - of having a baby and growing a new human (same as the rest of the animal kingdom). This fact... is like the elephant in the room - hidden (in plain-sight) behind a game of play pretend... where every culture - has its "self-serving stories (be it religious or philosophical)" - meant to portray humans as special/chosen - somehow divorced from reality (as if we're not part of this earthly animal kingdom - despite of acting so similar at a core level... same needs, same urges and so on and so forth). Romanticized.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. All I'm saying is that squeezing your junk for the camera and an audience, or putting your butthole on display with spread cheeks for public view is completely devoid of nuance, unlike dating or romance, which can be a unique and rewarding experience, under the best of circumstances.

Gaping for pay, over the internet...less so.

I literally just made myself sick and nauseated, but it's okay.

That may be so, but there's also this thing most of us have to do called.... "work (earning a living - to be able to pay the rent, the bills, to put some food on the table - some clothing on the back and so on so forth)". Sure, what they do is deemed degrading by society - but i presume... they'd rather put up with that shit for couple of minutes vs 9:00 to 17:00/19:00 jobs (in the fast-food industry, at some supermarket or a warehouse and such / let's face it - most of this girls don't have many alternatives) - doing something they hate 50x more. Supposedly, this option - which is somehow similar to webcam models - is far more comfortable than doing porn (also safer). That being said - i wouldn't call it pointless (or devoid of nuance - as you put it), or at least not more than some other way to earn a living - which a lot of people hate (again - far far more). It's just not for everyone. Same way all kinds of other ways of earning a living - can be off-putting to all kinds of people.

Also, dating and romance - can also be a traumatizing experience, under the worst of circumstances (some - even killed themselves as a result... to many - as a matter of fact). This forum - is actually among the internet gatherings for broken hearts - a place to vent or lean on each other's shoulders - till better days come along (or a better partner). Funny enough or quite ironic (if you will) - dating/romance actually has this thing in common - with the old version of OnlyFans. In terms of being a lottery - or requiring some high level of maturity - to play the game of life on a different level - where Dating/Romance/OnlyFans - don't prove to be necessary anymore. Not that they are on same level - since one revolves around work while the other revolves around mating, partnership and procreation (usually. as intended by mother nature - at least). Unless we're talking about gold diggers - then it's the same (still work for financial gains).
