OnlyFans is on everyone’s lips: whether in rap music lyrics, on social media, in articles and documentaries. OnlyFans attracts customers with everything from fitness tips to exclusive music content: the range of offers is huge. However, probably the most well-known use of the platform is the sharing of erotic and pornographic content<\/strong>. While this is often trivialized and young women on other social media platforms are recruited as new, promising models, there is a dark side: behind the glittering surfaces of supposed financial freedom and creative self-determination, there are dark abysses of sexual exploitation<\/strong> on OnlyFans.<\/p>\n

OnlyFans promises financial freedom and high income through direct payments from fans. The well-known \u201cOnlyFans stars\u201d proudly show how they can earn many thousands of euros a month<\/strong> and afford a life of luxury. For many people, especially young women, this is a tempting prospect. They see it as a way to earn quick money<\/strong> or as a way out of financial difficulties. However, the pressure to share more and more explicit content can quickly lead to a spiral that is difficult to stop.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the context of sexual exploitation on OnlyFans, so-called OnlyFans agencies and managers are playing an increasingly important role<\/strong>. These seem to have been proliferating for some time now, as men have discovered the lucrative business with women as commodities.<\/p>\n

OnlyFans agencies recruit young women with the promise of a \u201cgold rush effect\u201d<\/strong>, suggesting that success is just a click away. They often contact potential models via social networks such as Instagram using fake profiles. They advertise with slogans such as \u201cWe create the stars of tomorrow\u201d and promise career opportunities even without nudity. Typical messages include compliments and offers. They offer comprehensive support and guidance, from increasing reach, pricing, inspiration for content to marketing and fan communication.
\nBut once the women are on board, it becomes clear that the agencies exert a disturbing amount of control over their models.<\/strong> Agencies give detailed instructions on how the models should present themselves in order to be successful. They help with texting, posing and replying to emails. Often the managers run the entire account, while the models provide the pictures and videos. The managers even do the chatting with the fans<\/strong>. They think they are having dirty talk with the \u201csexy model\u201d while in reality they are texting with a man whose goal is to increase his profits.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Most of the founders of OnlyFans agencies are young, seemingly wealthy men. They know how men think and can therefore specifically control how women have to sell themselves in order to be successful. These agencies keep a high percentage of the profits and often exploit the models.<\/strong> They put considerable pressure on their clients to produce more and more explicit content in order to maximize revenue. In many cases, these agencies can act much like pimps, taking control over the lives and decisions of the creators.<\/strong>
\nSome agencies go even further and use questionable business practices to further exploit the models. These include falsifying models’ identities and manipulating their earnings. They systematically use emotional dependency to further control and exploit the models. This can lead to extreme psychological stress and a severe restriction of the models’ personal freedom.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There are now even online courses<\/strong> and networks that train men to become successful \u201cOnlyFans Managers\u201d<\/strong>. They are taught how to set up and run such an agency. One focus is on the emotional dependency of women<\/strong>, with courses that show how to \u201cimprison a soul\u201d and exploit women<\/strong> by falsifying income, for example.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
