Natalia (fictitious name) is young, has a commercial job in a telephone company that gives him to pay his expenses, and for months, also has account in ‘OnlyFans’ (a subscription service with primarily sexual content). It began the day that her desire to join the trip that some friends were doing was greater than the money she had in her pocket. It was very easy, some risque photos and some other audio to sexually arouse the user who had requested it, and the money was already available in his account. A family friend of hers had seen her on the platform and offered to pay for her trip in exchange for seeing her body and hearing her address him exhilaratingly. Natalia was able to make the trip and she realized that, acting like this, she could do and have many more things that she, until then, had no access to. despite his youth she feels empowered and says, with some pride, that in the end the problem is theirs for being stupid and that’s why she can take advantage, like she did with her father’s friend. “She’s actually the dehumanization of women through the commodification of their bodiesbut many of them understand that it gives them control and they see the use of erotic capital as positive,” explains the gender expert, Priscila Retamozo.
“Sexual violence against them is naturalized, largely due to the consumption of pornography among young people & rdquor;
For Priscila, the explanation why there are college girls and workers who get into this dense world of adult content has to do with the way women perceive themselves. “There is an extreme demand on the bodies that television and social networks promote. Besides, sexual violence is naturalized against them, largely due to the consumption of pornography among young people & rdquor ;, he explains. So these girls move daily between prostitution and the exhibitionism. Retamozo, who works directly with adolescents and young people throughout Galicia to educate them on equality, says that there is no defined profile of a girl who gets into ‘OnlyFans’. However, she detects two situations in them that seem to be repeated frequently: there is usually some conflict with her body (eating disorder, for example) and many have previously experienced acts of sexual violence at different levels that they have normalized. “Many are situations like going out to a party and a friend taking her to her garage to have sex. She, who thought better of it, finally agreed out of shame, so as not to appear small or so that he would not get angry”, says the expert and also remembers that the majority are not in a situation of basic economic need.
They start by sharing photos and drift into a spiral of sex that is hard to stop
The first step for many “normal” girls before signing up for “OnlyFans” is to search for pages where used panties or images of feet are sold, according to Retamozo. The expert also explains that It is a way of approaching a world that is not entirely alien to them.. They have it so internalized that they even find it funny that someone might be interested in their used underwear, she says.
The step before signing up to OnlyFans for many is to sell their used panties and pictures of their feet on fetish pages.

Those who personally know any of the girls who have a channel recognize that her character was always daring and that her photos on social networks used to be suggestive above average. But beyond this, what her friends stand out is how easily they fall for ‘easy money’. Lara (she is not her real name either) is Galician and now lives in Madrid, she started because she needed money to do a master’s degree, until then she worked in healthcare. The idea was to save with what she got for sharing her photos on ‘OnlyFans’, but he got the money he needed in just 3 weeks so he was able to enroll in his course in the capital. The speed with which she made money on the platform encouraged her to share increasingly explicit content, until she started having sex with other people. ‘OnlyFans’ (which maintains a company policy whereby it does not get into the content to restrict it) decided that it could not allow these practices with people outside the platform. So, in order to maintain her income level, Lara decided that instead of letting them see her in bed with sporadics (which were provided with consent), she would have to do it with ‘partners’ from the social network and she was launched. “now just live on it& rdquor ;, says an old friend. He earns so much money that what worries her the most is how he is going to pay the Treasury (she is self-employed). However, she is not impressed that her friends or people close to her family (older men) can see her. She knows this because the platform allows her to know which users have consumed her content, even if they have not contacted her directly.
It is not prostitution, but the platform allows you to charge for watching and listening to explicit sex (The company is based in London and its business spans Europe, technically it has to stick to EU regulations, but it somehow gets around the issue of prostitution.) Users (mainly men) must register with a credit card, whether or not they use it to ‘buy’ content (or to ‘tip’) the girl generating the sexual content. Subscriptions to a girl’s channel are around 5-20 euros per month, but there are up to 45 euros.
