OnlyFans was a groundbreaking step in content creation, allowing content creators to earn funds and tips directly from their subscribers.
And though not created expressly with this intention, it has proven hugely popular among sex workers and porn performers, both professional and amateur.
So much so that a threat to ban all adult entertainment from OnlyFans in August of 2021 was immediately squashed six days later.
Not having to be a professional has resulted in countless people creating an OnlyFans page as a side hustle, no doubt also taking it as an opportunity to explore a part of themselves they otherwise might not be brave enough to.
Others, however, are far too intimidated to even think about creating an OnlyFans page.
Curious to hear what might be stopping them, Redditor Sense_Conscious took the opportunity to find out by taking to Reddit to ask:
"What’s stopping you from having an OnlyFans?"
Might regret it down the line.
"You can never really take it back once it’s out there."- ConnectScot·
"I’d be mortified if i were recognized in public and I feel like it would come to haunt me once I started job hunting."- topazi
"I had two female friends make an only fans and they both regretted it and ended up deleting it."- Mikeyizzo
Professional and Safety Concerns
"I'm a therapist and the last thing I would want is one of my clients to find it."- patronusisaturtle
"The safety of it, the stigma and someone recognizing me and putting my life or career at risk."
"Just something about mixing sex with money and strangers doesn’t seem safe to me."- borisHChrist
Assumed lack of interest.
"If I thought people would buy my pics for $5, I wouldn't be at work at 4:15am."- ilikeitsharp
"No one wants to see me naked."
"Hell, I don't even like seeing me naked."- Pitiable-Crescendo
Unwanted Attention
"I hate attention, and creeps/stalkers scare me."
"Some people will go to great lengths to find where you live just with clues they found in your background."- ididntunderstandyou
Not worth the effort.
"I hate marketing."
"So much."
"And marketing yourself doubly so."- SJammie
Like all jobs and hobbies, some things simply aren't for everyone.
Those brave enough to launch and manage an OnlyFans page are no doubt laughing all the way to the bank.
While others probably enjoy OnlyFans more from a spectator's position.
And no judgment either way.
