While they may not be mainstream topics of conversation or household names just yet, subscription websites like OnlyFans.com are becoming more and more familiar to LGBTQ communities throughout the world. As early as the internet existed, the monetization of sex work online has proliferated, from early porn download sites to more contemporary video sharing and modern webcam services. Selling subscription services that allow users to view videos or the watch live webcam feeds of professional or amateur sex workers has indeed flourished online for years already. So while OnlyFans and similar websites are not particularly new in concept, they perhaps offer a more user friendly and trendy vehicle for a particular type of sex work, allowing a wider group of people to use the site as content creators and consumers. Here in the US, gay men and trans women seem to be driving the growth of these apps as the landscape of sex work is changing and cultural attitudes within queer communities are shifting and evolving. In particular, OnlyFans and sites like it appear to be emerging as a path for LGBTQ sex workers of color to potentially completely revolutionize not only the nature of their sex work but also to reap unprecedented financial rewards.

Why did you decide to create an OnlyFans/JustFor.Fans account?
I started out doing cam shows just for fun. Then when I decided it was time for a career change I opened up an Onlyfans account and everything grew very quickly. I currently only have a Just For Fans account.
Were you concerned about being “exposed” or the social/cultural stigma associated with sex work/pornography?
I’m very spontaneous. I never think of consequences until it’s too late haha!
How do you market & promote your account? Instagram? Twitter
I use Twitter heavily. I have instagram and Snap Chat, but twitter is the engine.
About how many monthly subscribers do you have? 50 – 100? 250 – 500?
…. more than 900 LOL
How frequent do you post?
I usually post three times a week. Sometimes more.
How has having your JFF account changed your financial situation?
It’s really given me the freedom to save and invest in other things that I’m working on to elevate my brand.
Has having an JFF account affected your dating life? Relationships? Friendships? Has it changed how you personally view sex/sex acts/sexuality for yourself?
Not at all. Life goes on as usual. Only difference is now sometimes I stop and record it all.
Do you feel pressure to offer certain types of content to keep your subscribers interested? Nudes vs. sex acts, solo vs. partnered or group scenes, vanilla vs. fetish or more hardcore content, etc.?
I’m very big on individuality and originality when it comes to fan based content. I believe it should be purely organic and there’s something extremely freeing about that. Fans of your page become aware of what your style is very quickly. Either they like it or they don’t. The beauty is there’s so many people doing this now. If I don’t have what you want, someone will.
Do you think an JFF account is more worth it/better than a more traditional career in pornography with a studio?
Absolutely. One should use the studio work as a form a paid publicity not only for Fan based platforms but for everything else the wish to do under that umbrella. It gives the opportunity to become someone original and not cookie cutter.
