Having spent 24 hours considering this article on the evils of @OnlyFans, I have some thoughts. Obvs, they& #39;re a thread, cos I can& #39;t help it. I have many feelings, & being an OnlyFans creator myself, I think I may be qualified to comment. https://twitter.com/bindelj/status/1250397469189513216">https://twitter.com/bindelj/s...
The anti-porn feminists& #39; arguments against sex work often seem to stem from a fear of the dangerous men who might want to use our services. So I thought I& #39;d address that.
1. The people who join my OF *aren& #39;t* all men. I& #39;m a sub woman. Sub women join. maybe cos they relate to me.

2. My members aren& #39;t all strangers. Some are my friends. I see them IRL. Cos not everyone finds it uncomfortable to fancy their friends, or to be fancied. I don& #39;t care if my friends masturbate to pictures of me. If they *know* me & still find me hot, it feels like a miracle.
3. OF members aren& #39;t always interested in seeing maximally explicit content. Today, my members watched me walk in the park, tie myself up, & practice line dancing. They& #39;re paying for access to my world, not going on a maximum-vagina safari (MVS)
4. My OF members aren& #39;t all single. Some of them share their account with a partner, and use my videos to give them ideas for kinky things to do together, since I& #39;m a BDSM model. Being scared of my OF customers would feel as foreign to me as being scared of my YouTube viewers.
5. There is no clear divide between porn users & porn creators, with the dirty scary men on one side, & the vulnerable naked women on the other. I make porn (of a kind) cos I like *watching* porn. Some of my OF members are also performers. This is not unusual.
In short, my members are just people. The same as the people who watch NetFlix, or YouTube. They& #39;re not a special category of dirty, dysfunctional perverts. And I wonder if it& #39;s possible to have a healthy relationship w/ *any* men, if you start off from this POV.
Cos most adults consume porn of some kind. We know this from viewing figures. & most of the people who watch it don& #39;t dare say so, cos of the way we tend to stigmatise people who do. Articles like this are so unhelpful cos they perpetuate a lie about the performers & users alike.
