The basic premise behind rate shaming sex workers over how much we charge is that our rates are viewed as correlated to our worth as individuals. Fundamentally, doing sex work is not something inherently degrading which must be balanced out by an empowering sum of money. It is a neutral act.

Nowhere to Hide: Facial Recognition and Sex Work
Any sex worker who advertises online or posts pornographic content has heard that the internet is forever and that people will eventually find out what they do for work. That used to mean that we had to be prepared for people to stumble across porn that featured us, or for friends or family to noticeContinue reading “Nowhere to Hide: Facial Recognition and Sex Work”
How to Build a Healthy Relationship with Porn
There is nothing wrong with watching people engage in sexual activity, whether that’s through your screen or in real life. What matters is that you’re considerate about the desires of all those involved, and that people whose job it is to create that entertainment are fairly compensated.

Does that kind of claim seem too good to be true? That’s because it is. Honest advice about selling porn should include an admission that most people make very little money doing it in the long-term.

The idea of porn addiction is commonly brought up by conservatives or sex worker exclusionary radical feminists as a way to demonize the viewing of pornography. Rhetoric around porn being dangerous and addictive has also infiltrated more liberal or left-wing groups. People can absolutely have compulsive behaviours applying to sex and porn, but the addiction model fails at understanding them.
Why You’re Failing on OnlyFans
Most people are! I realize it seems flippant to say it, but it’s the truth. Most people who make OnlyFans accounts or who make online porn in general will fail to make a significant amount of money. For the few people making significant money, that’s a result of already having a sizeable platform or ofContinue reading “Why You’re Failing on OnlyFans”
