The vast majority of people are also not paying OnlyFans.


9.4% of men in an official Swedish study from 2017 said they have paid for sexual services (0.5% of women). It's a minority but still almost 1/10. I can only imagine that OnlyFans has normalized this behavior a lot since then.

There's also the narrative that people on these platforms are choosing to do this because they make a lot of money, and that it's less problematic than the rest of the porn industry somehow. I'm very sceptical about both of these notions.


I wonder how many of those were going to a strip club on a friends drag do


Ah the slippery slope of distinguishing dating vs pay for sex.


> slippery slope

An excellent porn star name.


That is what I meant, I understood you comment as "paying for OnlyFans" is human nature. I would dispute that as a general statement because I believe it is a very special demographic that does that.


Sure, but that "special demographic" has stayed consistent throughout human history. Which is why this entire market has existed for a similar period.


I would understand human nature to mean that it affects every human, but sure, after that definition I guess it remains some form of constant at least.
