    What’s the thoughts on this? Seeing a lot of girls using this as a means to make money. Some even making a career out of it. Saw some girl in England has made £1m from it and that was mostly in the last 18 months. Personally I’m not fussed either way, that said not something you’d want anyone close to you to be at. I’m sure there’s a few sly subscribers on boards...

    Basically a cam site where you subscribe to individual cammers.

    Online prostitution.

    Good luck looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life.

    Will the wave of militant champaigne feminists out there help their fellows exploiting themselves. Will they fook.

    Poor young idiots. Wouldnt go near it,

    Lonely sad people on both sides of the camera

    How do these make money, ongoing money anyway? Especially famous women anyway, Surely as soon as they put up naked pics, someone just shares them all over the internet,no?

    I think OnlyFans has a mechanism that prevents screenshots and the like.

    If I was a reasonable lookin' wan I'd 100% be on it. Money for jam.

    An ex of mine did camming, and other stuff that is still online.

    Don't think that it will ever hinder their lives - she has gone on to bigger things since. In this day and age, who wants to be the HR person who signs the letter explaining that a candidate didn't get a job, due to their previous employment as a sex worker?

    I wouldn't do it, and I hope it never becomes something my partner wishes to do, but it is not as impactful as it would have been years ago. Sure tabloids and papers practically praise those celebs who come forth and talk about their own 'leaked' sex tapes.

    They make money from incels.

    Honestly, we need to support our fellow kings - some guys getting into Findom, and Onlyfans just need support from the rest of us, to escape the financial servitude they put themselves through.

    Doubtful. There's chrome extensions to rip content. But you need access to the content.

    I suspect people who subscribe to a cammer, tend to try and feel like they are involved with the person to some degree. So the cammer would kind of push that. Which I think is why someone likened'em to prostitutes earlier.

    I know a few young wans from about town,who'd be ok like,but they do be making 2-300 a month on it

    Seemingly age group that subscribes isnt dirty ould lads,but lads in mid to late 20s,fools and their money easily parted

    Haven't looked in to it and not sure what it's all about but initial thoughts are it reinforces the stereotypical idea of women as sex toys and normalises weird fetishes that debase the male/female interaction; is only a step up from porn. I could be wrong. Yeah right.

    It seems the women involved are doing it willingly to earn money, so it's not a misogynistic endeavour exploiting vulnerable women.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,969 ✭✭✭Assetbacked


    Women can make money from it, men can't. All power to them getting money from lads for showing off their bodies for cash.

    So it's the women exploiting vulnerable men then?
    Idk. I don't really want to get entrenched in a discussion as the subject is not something I want to spend any time researching. I'll leave it to the more knowledgeable. I'll get my popcorn.

    Nobody is exploiting anyone. Women display content for a monetary gain, men who wish to access this content pay to see it.

    No victims, no agenda. Ill thought out on the part of the women perhaps, but we are all free to make poor choices.

    I've never been on it but I thought is was more of a subscription based model on contend the girl uploads. I don't think it's one on one like some seems to suggest, as would be akin to prostitution.

    From the How it works page:

    As far as we're concerned, if you use social media and produce your own content, you should be using OnlyFans. Whether you're uploading tutorials, tips, behind the scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them!

    Just read about this...

    I mean there are some seriously lonely men out there to pay money to see some nude pictures? Absolute clowns.

    I would think any woman who does this will regret it very much so down the line.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,707 ✭✭✭Bobblehats

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,516 ✭✭✭Outkast_IRE


    I suppose thats the problem though, is that people feeling lonely is increasing. In a world where social media pushes the agenda that you are more connected than ever, in reality the opposite is true. With peoples heads buried in their phones they are more disconnected than ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,016 ✭✭✭Ultrflat


    Only fans is payed version of Instagram, with no filters to what you can post.

    Is the site a bad thing,I don't particularly think so, I stream on twitch.tv, and have 28 active subscribers which is certanly not a lot but people like my content. They watch me play video games, and support me, I think the nature of subscriptions be it Twitch/Onlyfans/YouTube are a great idea. There allowing people to do something they love.

    I know onlyfans is pretty much women and men showing pictures and videos etc and there's a market for that. But only fans have personal trainers and all forms of content. So why not, if people make money so be it clearly there a light on burning brightly for the mass's

    I agree with you. Yet what is paying some woman money to see her naked really gonna do for you if you're lonely.... I mean they are idiots in my view. How many porn sites are there online that are free?



    These men should be outside in the real world meeting and interacting with real life women instead of wasting money. It's only encouraging the behavior of selling your body online. It's tacky as hell.

    The women in the just chatting section on twitch are the worst for wearing just enough clothes and "dancing" while lads go absolutely mad for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    We all know why the women on that site would do it... Money at the end of the day.
    But why on earth would anyone give them said money? Madness.

    I've watched one, for about 5 minutes and it was so painfully boring to listen to there idiots who rely on good looks and boobs to get by, worst thing is. There are female streamers who wear more play video games and get temp bans...

    Twitch attitude to their streamers and affiliates is disgusting IMO

    That's not the same.
    On Facebook, boards etc. We are the product being served ads.

    Gambling and alcohol you get a buzz in return. Giving some tart money online is madness. If you feel a need to jack it go look at some porn :pac: there's more porn out there than anything else.

    From Armagh?

    Or is this a bit like the other month when some media made up a story that huge numbers of Trinity etc students are sugar daddy escorting?

    Just curious. Like a few momths ago I took a look at Escort Ireland- of a total of circa 2 million Irish/ Northern Irish legal age females on this island a grand total of about nine of them were active prostitutes. Irish women are, for whatever reason, pretty prudish when it comes to sex work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,016 ✭✭✭Ultrflat


    . Giving some tart money online is madness.


    So the woman's the tart and not the depraved married man paying her to get his end away?

    Seriously its the men seeking some pretty ****ed up fetish's that are making this a job, and your first call is to attack the woman?

    Also Porn, is like alcohol or any other drug your body or in this case the brain builds a tolorence. When that happens its game over people allow them selves to go to insane places in regards to what they need to get off.

    Watch a few ted shows about porn addiction and what it does to you as person and your brain, many people wont even deal with this issue because of shame etc.

    But wouldn't necessarily blame the woman or only fans. its sites like pornhub that have cause this.

    It's their lives and their bodies and as with any sex worker they can do whatever the hell they like to earn money as long as they're not harming anyone, doing anything illegal or being coerced into it. They certainly don't deserved to be called tarts and sl*gs. Get f*cking lives for yourselves.

    You never said a truer word. Would go has far has to say social media has killed conversation in this generation


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,192 ✭✭✭chrissb8


    Alot of assumption going on in this thread. Who cares Only Fans exist, the girls are comfortable and happy to do it, most will probably not do it forever. Also, who cares if the men watching it like it as well, it says nothing about them sexually. Literally.

    I like football, so does another guy. Does that mean we're both mentally deficient like some football yobs and can't hold a conversation on anything else or have no other interests? Do we all fall in broad categories?

    No, so it doesn't mean the men watching this are somewhat lonely or have some weird sexual issues. It's the 21st century, sexual pleasure comes in so many different forms. Camshows are just glorified w***s for those viewing it, it's all the same, we all watch women pleasuring themselves or getting pleasured in porn or otherwise. What package does it matter that it comes in?

    I am not an onlyfans fan either. I couldn't be if I wanted to, as I'm too broke haha

    Agreed, if the girls are happy enough to do it then who are we to judge?

    There both, their choice.

    I speak for many on boards by saying I'd do the same although not sure I'd find many people willing to spend money on seeing me naked. :P
