In our seeming sociocultural race these days to make sure every woman likes penis and doesn’t have multi-colored hair and wants to produce three to five kids with Larry from Analytics Lab, we have a big moral panic about women who do OnlyFans, essentially deeming it “prostitution” or “the Demise of society” or whatever else. In that you are receiving money from someone to perform some type of sexual kink on a camera, it’s a form of prostitution, semantically. However, what we ignore in these moral panic discussions is that every time someone shares an “OF girlie” moving into a $2M home, well, there are $200,000 worth of simp-y guys upstream of that, who paid that girl so she could get there. It should also be noted that something like 93% of women on OF make about 1/4 of their rent per month, and we just pay the most attention to those who are making millions. It’s not nearly as horrible a problem as we think.
But let’s say it is a horrible problem, or you believe it is. What’s upstream of that problem? What creates OnlyFans girlies? Here are a few theories.
Self-absorbed mom + permissive, simp-y, work-focused dad
