    These girls do know their nudes get traded for free on 4chan, right?

    Of course, it's the internet. Nothing that costs something, can't be found elsewhere for free.

    Flicking through tinder and of course plenty of them have instas so I follow them for a gawk.
    Follow this 18 year olds page and I see she has an only fans. Nothing but stories up about half price on onlyfans etc.

    The other day she had a pic up about doing some recording with another bird and a strap on.

    Now this evening I see she has a post up saying half price before her girl on girl strap on video. To be honest I can't see this working out long term for young girls. I mean how many lads would have a relationship with someone in pornos? It's the same thing. Would you really want to go out with a girl who's had her vadge plastered over all the whatsapp in the country?

    There was a girl on newstalk the other week trying to defend it. She couldn't come out with good defence, she was "but like..*exhale*.." She was claiming it's art, posting naked pictures online.

    I don't think many Irish women are involved in prostitution but the way this onlyfans thing is going, it's just the next step up.

    Women talking about getting respect from men and then selling their bodies online to lads who would just use them as cumdumps.
    It wouldn't bother me tbh, well anything up to girl on girl anyway. If she was shagging guys it would be a different story.

    Once upon a time humankind wanted to explore the cosmos, achieve dreams beyond our immediately base realities, search for answers both on a spiritual and scientific level, reach for the stars. That is what, if anything, makes us special - our fight to transcend our immediate limitations.

    The industry you describe is extremely addictive, and stands directly in opposition to the above. It lures people to only care about their base natural desires and about superficial things, resulting in the destroyed relationships, record rates of depression and suicide that is plaguing young people and all people really today.

    Sex is natural, but the extreme sexualisation of society that has seeped in every corner of life all around the world, most certainly is not. It is addiction that overtakes and consumes everything. That is why the neoliberal, consumerist societies have become so dominant and why they in turn promote the industry you describe - they derive their power, money, and status quo from the masses being addicted, as opposed to the masses challenging them and working for a better way of life.

    Very true, lad i know whos living the single life has banged a few birds with OF accounts, they asked him over to record content. He never even asked for a cut, now he's online and didn't even get a penny.... People don't think long term

    Whats the harm as long as nobody is being forced to do something they aren't comfortable with.

    I was just about to say the same. Apart from the grandkids part. Biggest issue is once it's online it's hard to take it down before images or clips are saved and re shared.

    Would you be curious enough to purchase a monthly subscription for the price of Netflix if you saw somebody you know on it? Would you consider becoming an only fans content creator yourself if/when it becomes more socially acceptable in Irish society?

    How did we get to the point where women see marriage and having a family as oppressive, but hawking your pu$$y online as 'liberating and empowering'?

    Begging your pardon, slightly tweaked your post there P

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I'd say a significant factor was decades/centuries of women being led to believe their only function was to provide and care for a family for a man and that they had little to no say in how their body was used created a desire to be in control of both their own life decisions and what to do with their bodies.

    This coupled with the realisation that many people (men mostly) will actually pay them to get a glimpse/experience at what they will might never access in real life, with this particular woman anyway at least, led a lot of them to think, finally, let's make them really actually pay for it.

    Whatever about the motivations of the women on it, it seems that the motivations for a lot of younger men in signing up for it is not simply for the explicit nature, but actually just a desire for basic female attention. No doubt some people will think it is the fault of 'stuck up b*tches' and the 'me too/I believe her' topics etc putting ideas in to their heads and other people will think that it's a consequence of the topic of 'toxic masculinity' being discussed/explored more in public in recent years leading girls/women to decide they no longer have to play a subservient part in men feeling their needs for attention have been met.

    Irrespective of the above, whether it is true or not, Google indicates at the moment that 0.38% o the world have an OF account and 0.005% of the world are making content on it so, I wouldn't go claiming the world is fcuked or anything as a consequence just yet. Well, it might be fcuked, but it'll cost you €15/month to find out.

    Most of the Onlyfans content creators are doing it wrong. You need a following from somewhere else before doing it.

    Take the twitch streamer Amouranth. Huge following on twitch and has over 6000 fans paying 11 dollars a month.

    I have been a dancer in Dublin for a decade started in my early 20s a lot of the girls I work with are sound and believe me it’s definitely nothing you see on tv. However Ireland seems to have this negative attitude towards women in this industry or deems us all sex addicts or easy when the woman who gets bread in her local supermarket could be doing all kinds of dirty things that’s way worse than dancing and it seems to be okay because she’s doing it for free I don’t get the mindset of some of these people we have stage names in work to protect our identity.

    Part of this job comes with a lot of stigma there’s been a few girls who had people find out their day jobs and contact their boss to try and get them fired it’s normally women who rat them out and try to ruin their lives over it. There’s nothing I’d love more than to be open about my job and how it’s helped me get through some dark times in my life but I just couldn’t handle all the derogatory labels and insults and lows people will go to try and ruin your life over it. Since covid hit I don’t know how the strip club industry in Dublin is going to survive.

    I want to know what your opinions are on strippers and the likes of using onlyfans to make money nothing you say is going to bother me it’s more curios why people have a begrudging attitude towards these things when they do worse things for free with their husbands boyfriend or a random Jack the lad from coppers In Dublin on a night out.

    Let me give you an insight into what some of these Christian minded folk might have against your occupation.

    Sex is a beautiful and good thing, however it has a proper time and place (as many things do). This time and place is between a married man and his lawful wife in the privacy of their home etc. Anything else would be to cheapen the act, to destroy it's beauty, to destroy it's sanctity.

    An erotic dancer is someone who deliberately arouses men in a way only their wives are supposed to. The scant clothing and suggestive poses is what does this. Moreover, the men who attend such shows (or whatever else) lust after the dancers, seeing them as pieces of meat there only to satisfy their urges. This is no way to look at another human being. Most would not look at their wives or girlfriends in such a way, but here, anything goes.

    So I suppose the main points are 1) strippers cheapen the sexual act 2) the instill lust into the hearts of the men who look at them 3) they teach men to view women in a certain way (as pieces of meat) and 4) how could any wife/girlfriend be OK with their husband/boyfriend looking at strippers? How could any mother be OK with her son doing this?
