The labels don't matter as much as the actions. They are not prostitutes in the traditional, physical sense, but make no mistake - they do work in the sex industry.
It's porn for pay, to specific 'performers' mostly. Subscribers can communicate with them directly digitally, and as a "fan" can ask them to do whatever sexual stuff they are into.
But here's the official summary:
"OnlyFans is a social media platform which allows content creators to post content and receive payment directly from their followers, or “fans” via subscriptions or one-off tips. It was founded by CEO Timothy Stokely in 2016 and has around 30 million registered users and around 450,000 content creators. Fans can pay a subscription to a particular creator.
The company says that creators with 10,000 followers can earn between $499 and $2,495 a month. The platform does take a 20 per cent cut of any earnings, however it says it has paid out over $700 million to creators.
Since the global crisis hit, according to Vice, the platform has reported more than a 75 percent increase in new sign-ups for the month of April and has gained around 150,000 new users every 24 hours, due to, most likely, a combination of boredom and an attempt to make some extra cash.
What is OnlyFans used for? OnlyFans has gained a large following in part because of its rather lax content policy, which allows creators to share revealing pictures of themselves -- essentially a NSFW Instagram-type platform."
And he's a great video explaining why guys do pay for it here: www.youtube.com/watch
Actually I just found out some of them are prostitutes. Some female OnlyFans take solicitations, will meet in person, and go out on "dates" with guys. It's on the down low, but it's happening.
I thought the proper definition of prostitute was someone who engaged in the physical act of sex for money. (Or performed oral sex on him.) But I just looked up some definitions. "What is the legal definition of prostitution? At its most basic definition, prostitution is the exchange of a sexual act for money. State laws have expanded the definition to make it a crime to offer, agree to, or engage in a sexual act for compensation of any kind." www.findlaw.com/.../prostitution.html That sounds quite broad, actually. Why do you have an issue with the phrase 'sex worker'? Do you think it's too lax, or too stern? Or is it because the word 'work' is in there? Like I said, I care more about the behaviours than the labels. Because language gets bastardized, often. And there are formal definitions, but also the common vernacular. Sometimes people argue so vehemently about some idea/word, without both first agreeing on what they mean as an interpretation of the word. I think anyone who sells or performs sex for money is all in the same category. But physical sex with strangers is far, far more risky for a number of reasons. But they all work (trade) in sex.
I guess so. Because the workers are sacred. Workers are laborers, crushed by the cruels, and at the same time earning money with a forehead sweat. But these are never workers. These are outright prostitute.

I dont get it myself but its only porn. Its not some personal one on one affair of the heart or physical relationship.
Fine by me. It’s no different than paying a subscription to porn hub or patreon.
To participate in this in any way is a sign of immaturity and makes a user look rather pathetic.
That is wrong
eww how did blac chyna get top place
and it is cheating
I wouldn't do it.
It's like frequenting prostitutes.
Depends on your relationship. Some are okay with it, some are not. I wouldn't mind it.
That’s cheating and not ok he’s basically sending a message that his girlfriends body doesn’t satisfy him so he has to pay to watch other girls
Just make one too to fuck with his psyche 😂 if my boyfriend did that I would sign up and do it for money. Lmao
I'd think it's a dumb waste of money if it was a lot and frequently. But I wouldn't consider it cheating or otherwise morally wrong.
Personally I don't think that's okay, you shouldn't be throwing money at random girls when you have one with you.
It's wrong, in any context. And it's always a form of cheating
the only way I could ever justify spending money on something like is if both the wife and I enjoy the performer.
I don't see the point in wasting money on those accounts.
Paying for OnlyFans is retarded regardless of your relationship status
Not all that wrong but I have the feeling it would really piss her off
ok not, wrong. also, stop calling them sex workers. not the work they do, it's prostitution.

i wish there was no such industry and women were not labeled as prostitutes.
and what does this onlyfans site do? what is its purpose?

And of course men use this site for sexuality as usual. clearly understood.
Actually I just found out some of them are prostitutes. Some female OnlyFans take solicitations, will meet in person, and go out on "dates" with guys.

Don't you think all those who register on such a site are prostitutes? I think so.
