A new study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture has found that many adolescents in Spain, including those as young as 12, are not only aware of OnlyFans but also see it as a viable and even empowering way to make money. In group discussions with over 160 teenagers, researchers discovered that platforms promoting erotic content are influencing how young people—especially girls—view economic opportunity, self-worth, and sexuality. Teens frequently framed content creation as a personal choice or expression of agency, while minimizing the risks.

    Don’t like 90% of onlyfan people make next to nothing? I thought only a small portion of them can actually afford to do it “full time”.

      Yeah, same thing with cam girls. A few popular ones can make a lot of money, but it’s pretty common to see rooms that are mostly empty with a bored girl waiting for tips and slowly getting more and more discouraged.

      There’s so much free porn on the internet. Including theirs, because there’s always people recording and wanting their own clout or money from sharing it. Though one plus side is due to the sheer volume of what’s available, the “once it’s on the internet, it never leaves” doesn’t always apply. And even that which stays can be hard for anyone else to find due to the noise.

      Though those who advertise their OF also advertise the search string to find it for free.
