There is a disclaimer in this article about why sex accounts in Only fans are a new way of Modern Prostitution. Read it here.
In the last five years, many have realized that performing in front of a camera is easier than it looks. They have also concluded that the driving force in their lives is money, not the money earned with hard work, skills, and effort, but the wealth product of self-reduction into merchandise. This article clarifies why platforms like OnlyFans are creating a new way of engaging in prostitution.
Under the excuse of celebrating their sexuality, many adults aware of their limitations in previous endeavors have turned into OnlyFans.com to revalue themselves.
I mentioned being aware of their limitations because many of these individuals are former actresses, athletes, models, and entrepreneurs who stopped using their bodies as a medium to achieve a dream and started using them to get merely financial gain under the illusion that money will bring them the fulfillment they crave.
However, this new career relies on the pretense that the so-called fans support you due to the value of your personality, which is not only laughable but also ludicrous.
The so-called fans are paying to see the fall from grace, the broken dreams, and the reduction of a human being into square meters of skin.
The so-called content creators develop a caricature of their personality to start this endeavor and exhaust all the fame they have accumulated within their most fruitful years until their personalities have vanished, probably mixed among hundreds of similar stories that another person will eventually replace fell from grace. As Madelene Wright, former football Charlton player, posted in her bio: ‘Angel face, devil thoughts.’
A distorted product for an even more distorted market
However, by posting yourself as merchandise for sexual purposes, virtually speaking, the value of your body depends on the market. More precisely, a market of desire where products are constantly distorted and squeezed to get more satisfaction for a monthly fee.
Human desire does not end with the momentary satisfaction of the senses. On the contrary, once satisfied, it craves new flavors, mainly when the act’s purpose is nothing more than getting more pleasure.
It is not surprising that many content creators initially started Onlyfans accounts to post sexy pictures, nothing too graphic or revealing.
However, this initial intention changes once they are on the platform and realize the amount of money, they can make by posting pornography, reason why Onlyfans can be considered modern prostitution
Returning to worse days
In addition, in the absence of a clear north that helps us navigate through life, avoiding depravity, which we humans are so keen to fall into, we opt to end up as prey of brainless individualism—the illusion of self-worth based on the love for the market, not on love for oneself.
How deep can we fall?
Some might consider these thoughts an exaggeration, but we only need to see the past to realize how deep mankind can fall into moral depravity without anybody doing anything to change it, given the circumstances and chrematistic needs.
An example of this occurred in Europe, England, as a byproduct of extreme poverty, lack of purpose, and broken dreams. At some point, not only adults but also an incredible number of minors were engaging in these acts.
The situation turned so uncontrollable that close to 40% of young females living in poor areas were at some point selling their bodies.
This problem reached its boiling point when they became victims of inebriated men who physically abused and even started to kill them. In this regard, we remember one of the most infamous cases in the Victorian Era, Jack the Ripper, 1888.
New Era, New Poverty
Of course, nowadays, in the virtual world, engaging in online prostitution is no longer about leaving poverty. There are abundant job opportunities in the market, particularly in the US.
So then why choose to perform if there is no urgency for money? Because first, they want more money (why earn $35,000 per year when you can get $100,000 with less effort), and second, as mentioned before, these individuals have lost direction, morals, and self-worth.
Society, media, and celebrities teach the young this is acceptable behavior and legitimate use of their liberties. However, this argument is not only obscene but also predatory. One thing is that older individuals choose to objectivize themselves. However, another totally different is that the same behavior is being allowed and even encouraged by society with its silence and lack of criticism.
We have a society that rejects greed but simultaneously extols money. The same culture that wants to promote freedom among the youth is cutting its wings, letting them be conquered by a voracious sex market where desire does not care about their wellbeing but only about who’s next, whose broken spirit can get perverted.
Let’s clarify something
Moreover, besides recognizing the liberty everyone enjoys in deciding what is best for their professional lives, every social critic must clarify doubts and identify the dangers of political correctness in language.
Therefore, one of the objectives of this post is to sustain why the so-called content creators of pornography are engaging in prostitution.
I will use the terms prostitution and prostitutes and not sex workers because the term sex worker might include other sexual-related professions such as exotic dancers or strippers, dominatrixes, call services, etc.
Is Only Fans a new way to engage in prostitution?
There has been a long argument between those who affirm that pornography is prostitution disguised and those who think it is not. I affirm it is, and in the case of Only Fans, for several reasons:
First. It involves a commercial exchange (usually money) between a client and a service provider
A prostitute (which nowadays prefer to use the term adult entertainer) exchange images, video, and audio of her intimacy with strangers while in top tiers answer specific requests.
I am not going to debate here if pornography is prostitution or not because my position is clear.
The idea of acting or pretending to engage in a real activity (acting in a movie or theater, for example) is not the same as engaging in that act. In fiction, actions such as killings, robbery, and other activities are recreated but not in fact performed.
However, if I choose to make that argument to sustain that pornography is not prostitution, then also the act of playing a role (prostitution) and pretending to be willing and anxious to have sex with strangers would neither include money nor be coated with false desire, ridiculous dirty talking, excessive makeup, revealing clothes (regardless cold temperatures).
In other words, prostitutes act in the same way as pornographic performers act, but both engage in sex acts for money.
Second: Having contact nowadays is no longer about space or distance
It is no longer about meeting in the streets, bars, truck stops, casinos, or cheap motels. Today the Internet is the virtual street. Claiming to be away from the consumer is no longer admissible because, in the virtual world, proximity is a matter of connection, not distance.
Every single human act meets its natural evolved form in time. ‘Only Fans’ and the services alike are merely the evolution of that activity, prostitution.
Prostitution, in its more primitive form, involves physical connection but, through technology, breaks its limits and expands its reach (in this case, audio and sound are accessible wherever consumers are).
To put it in perspective: If you were not paying for the content, you were merely a peeper, but now as a consumer (2.0 and 3.0), you have become an active participant in that commercial exchange; you have become the producer and the financial resource. It is clear how in this case Onlyfans becomes a platform for modern prostitution.
Third: High Risk population
Performers are susceptible to suffering from the same risk’s prostitutes have suffered for centuries: sex traffickers, stalkers, harassers, and consumers who eventually demand more radical content.
Fourth: Partnership Conflict
If the leading performer is opening an account with an intimate partner that agrees to produce and participate in the content and the relationship breaks, the leading performer must now look for another ‘partner’ who will also have to ‘collaborate’ in the content and production of the account.
Obviously, if the leading performer breaks again with this new partner, another will take his place, and the series will continue because the show must go on.
We could consider this a season in the account if we wanted to employ political correctness vocabulary. However, this is merely another way to evade this act’s resemblance with prostitution.
Fifth: Social Stigma
There might be friendly voices the performer would choose to listen to, but society as a whole not only notices the present acts as a testimony of an individual’s value; in time, it will also remind you of your past.
The decisions one makes today will have consequences in the future.
If the performer chooses to stop engaging in online prostitution, this will not fade as a dirty secret; quite the opposite, people will remind not only the performer about her past endeavor but also claim this truth to their family and children.
We cannot remain silent about this possibility. As disgusting and awful as bullying is, we cannot avoid contemplating that people will use this to abuse the performer’s children verbally.
However, in this case, common prostitution has some level of confidentiality that hides the prostitute’s identity from the public.
Quite the contrary is the case of Only fans and sites alike, where the Internet retains information forever. It comes to mind the case of Kim Kardashian, the so-called socialite who became famous because of her sex video, who turned mad after one of her kids almost found a video of her tumultuous past.
Unfortunately, women content creators are the ones most affected not only due to the influence of a world that seeks to abuse them no matter the costs but also claim their remains after they have said it is enough.
