With the epidemic of males experiencing loneliness there has been a concurrent rise of Onlyfans
Onlyfans women are raking in millions for just filming/livestreaming themselves at home doing naughty things for lonely men.
this 19 year old has made enough money from subscribers to run a 7 million dollar real estate empire managed by her father.

She is by no means unusual. the rise in onlyfans has been quite dramatic

But who are the men paying for these services? I thought they were young incels. But I was wrong.

I was shocked to find it's older middle aged men like me are paying money to basically watch women who are barely teenagers online. What is wrong with these married men? Are they coping with the stress in their life using onlyfans? or are they just lonely? or bored or all of the above?

that's 250 million middle aged men looking to livestream/chat with barely legal girls globally. that's 3x more men than voted for trump.

Probably men who aren't satisfied sexually, or who want to boost their ego imagining those women care about them. Also a lot of men are just bored or curious, or they have a secret fetish/interest they're embarrassed to tell their wives. Some of those men are single. I'm sure there are women followers too, or maybe even couples together.

It's a double wammy
1. Single guys are willingly being exploited financially
2. Married men are basically taking away money from wife and kids
I have heard of men who get their rocks off going into debt to support onlyfans girls. the girls don't seem to mind causing social chaos (although technically its not their fault).

It's the same men who might have paid for Ashley Madison, skin magz or sex workers in the past.

Nothing to see here. Move along. *unfortunately*

It's like comparing online gambling with physically going to the horseraces or poker machines. Online has made thing worse. Perception might be much easier and safer to interact online.

That's more or less what I'd assume. This is probably the same basic group that goes to strip clubs along with the folks that are into things that they're too embarrassed to admit to somebody in person.

Personally, I don't care to get too judgy, it's mostly when the models are pretending to be the ones on the phone and aren't that I draw a line. Most of the rest of it is just stuff between consenting adults.

Most married men can't afford to go to brothels or strip clubs because
a. they get spotted by somebody who knows them then that's the end of their friendship
b. they get spotted by a co-worker they lose their job
c. they get spotted by wife's friend they lose their marriage

Onlyfans allows Mr Joe Bloggs to discreetly privately chat/livestream on his PC with a young hottie who tells him exactly what he want's to hear and she does whatever he asks on screen. His subscription is a few dollars a month and what he spends to livestream might be equivalent to beer money.

Of course, some men over-do it and blow their lifesavings. Onlyfans girls are like casinos. they purport to be legitimate businesses but rely on addicts to make their profits.

I used to work with a university professor who did this. He had plenty of money to spend (has more than a million in the bank at any time), as he retired from industry first before going into teaching. I have seen him try to flirt with female students before. His family (wife, two kids) has no clue that he is a creeper. Total piece of trash in my book.

I think it is sad that men would pay for this kind of thing. I would never spend any sort of money on OnlyFans, not even chump change.

The vast majority of OnlyFans creators make in the hundreds of dollars monthly, if that, and put in a lot of time and effort for that much. And for that the girls’ videos are on the Internet forever. It’s sick and manipulative.
