Asking for a friend? It’s tough out here. No face shots.
As a cornfed brick-shithouse built Midwestern hairy dude in my late-30s, I’d do it right now if there were a market for chubby hairy dudes but I know better and I’d rather not embarrass myself.
If I knew I was going to make some money? Sure. But I hear it’s super difficult since so many people do the same. But if you think you have a gimmick, or are super attractive, you could make a but of change.
No. I’ll probably try to set up my own website.
I would do OnlyFans just for fun if i was female and or attractive
I don’t think I could make money on onlyfans.
If I was attractive, yes.
If I thought I could actually make even $5 on OnlyFans, I would have one right now. Ain’t nobody wants to see a 40 year old, out of shape, awkward geek dude jack off or show his butthole.
And if you tell me you actually would: gimme $5 and I will.
I’m not married anymore, so I don’t have anyone to compete against either. 🤷🏻♂️
I mean, there’s market. The biggest problem is marketing yourself to people who would pay. Most people don’t want to pay for porn unfortunately (but they sure want it, so they use leaks or piracy). Also, payment processors for adult content have very high fees.
I am doing it but not on OnlyFans and not for money. I’d be more than happy to monetize it if it was that simple but I’m a guy making quite niche content so I’ll stick with the crowd of few thousand Twitter users following me.
No and not for the reason you’d expect:
To open an account, OnlyFans requires you to do social media and prove that your social media accounts are yours, and of course they require you to hand over your real identity with your real ID card or passport and a selfie.
This is beyond dystopian. You have to be suicidal from a privacy standpoint to do OnlyFans.
I’d sell a lot more than that for riches.
That’s actually fucking ridiculous. But I guess if you’re willing to put your asshole and face together on the Internet, you’re probably not to concerned about these extra steps.
You miss the point.
What if you want to have a Facebook with the name “Joe Smith” and an OnlyFans with the name “Queen Georgina”? Even if your OnlyFans shows your face - which isn’t a requirement by the way - it’s not your real name. And you may not want to put your face or your real name on your Facebook at all, and keep the two completely separate.
OnlyFans basically destroy the separation between your accounts and links both with your real identity, your real government-issued ID number or SSN. And they collaborate very closely with Facebook in case you didn’t know. I know that because I asked them.
As for asshole pictures, as far as I know, asshole recognition technology isn’t as developed as facial recognition technology yet.
“As for asshole pictures, as far as I know, asshole recognition technology isn’t as developed as facial recognition technology yet.”
Fecal recognition technology.
They’re developing a toilet that can recognize people based on unique asshole prints and track, analyze, and store data on your waste on the cloud. It’s a privacy nightmare I didn’t think I needed to worry about. https://futurism.com/neoscope/scientists-toilet-identifies-butthole
Nope, this isn’t real, I’m high as balls and back a decade ago when AdultSwim did the SmartPipe joke informercial, I’m just hallucinacting being in 2025.
Yep.
Just really high right now, certainly not living in the pedophile toilet future timeline.
I immediately was like “smart pipe!” No fuckin’ way.

It may save lives one day.
What point do you think that I am missing? I was making a half-joke saying that people on Onlyfans probably aren’t super into privacy measures.
Im going to assume OnlyFans doesn’t do that because they want to. They’d likely be harassed by government if they didn’t.
Pornhub had to remove all unverified videos (which was most of their videos) and now anyone who uploads must follow similar rules that OnlyFans has. Pornhub posted an announcement saying they reported 118 instances of child abuse materials while Facebook reported 84,000,000 but that somehow they’re the ones being threatened to be shutdown unless they implement more rules.
If I remember correctly the pressure came from credit card companies and not any government.
Im going to assume OnlyFans doesn’t do that because they want to. They’d likely be harassed by government if they didn’t.
Only partially.
They don’t legally have to require you to do social media. All they’re legally required to do is to verify that you’re a consenting adult. In that respect, I get that they require a form of ID and a photo.
But the social media stuff is something they pretend to require to add an extra layer of legitimacy to your account, and make extra-sure you’re not a fraud. It’s of course complete bullshit. They only do this to collect data.
And don’t think for a second you can open an empty Facebook account and tell them “Here’s my social media account”: they want an old account with lots of real activity. And only certain types social media accounts are accepted. In fact, they’re very heavily biased towards you having a Facebook account, and it’s a lot more difficult to validate your OnlyFans account with anything other than a Facebook account.
They’re in cahoots with Facebook on the social media verification scam. I believe a good portion of their revenue stream is deanonymizing sex workers and selling their data.
What about Fansly?
You’re right!
It’s to keep kids off the website and even with all that, there’s already been cases. I think they dont do enough tbh.
They need all that to be able to give you your money.
It’s how you get paid.They don’t need to know under which name I access Facebook to pay me.
It’s not like you’re using your personal social accounts for this stuff.
You’re not going to want your friends and family anywhere near it.Only Fans want to know your public social accounts. The ones that are part of your “Brand”, that would drive your “Business”. That’s what matters.
If you’re worried about privacy on those accounts, you’re doing it all wrong.And you don’t need to provide them with it, either. A friend of mine does OF, and has had no such requirement to verify her social media. Unless this is a new requirement that existing members aren’t obligated to go through, or required for a specific feature of the OF platform, then I believe providing them that info is otherwise optional.
Yes, especially with no face shots. That being said, I think it’s brutally competitive these days. You are probably better off checking the beer money reddit sub if you are having trouble making ends meet and can’t find a proper job.
No, I would rather do a side job than selling my nude body - even if I was to keep it as anonymous as possible. I feel very strongly about unauthorized people seeing my private parts - and by unauthorized I mean anyone I don’t have a sexual affection for.
And I would be ashamed even more if friends, colleagues or family got a hold of my OF and somehow figured out it was me (for example super drunk me could easily leak myself for whatever stupid reason).
I am aware that I would likely have a fanbase as I am a slim short king in my early 20s but I am making enough with my job and the regular IT stuff my friends and family come up with (building & upgrading PCs, fixing software & hardware issues, helping with privacy issues, selfhosting and smart home tech… the standard stuff) and I feel that I would make less or have less relaxed quality time if I was to do OnlyFans.
As for your friend. If they have any hobby they could make a side job (like I am doing with IT service) I would do that before. I got a creative artist friend who makes artworks and puts them on Etsy and another one does music & patreon and keep OnlyFans as the nuclear option.
It’s actually extremely hard to earn money with OnlyFans. You’re not the first one to get the idea. There’s massive competition and if you’re not seriously willing to do a lot of marketing (which basically means going on social media and messaging thirsty dudes/people and being flirty with them), you’re only going to earn peanuts if anything at all.
Unless you’re really top 0.01% beautiful, but yeah as you see that’s unlikely.
It’s basically as much work as any other job, so yeah, might as well do any other job.
I feel like the top 5 - 10% could probably make money, not just the top .01
As a dude no, just because I don’t think that I would make enough to justify it.
Quick! Everybody pay this man for dick pics! He needs a self esteme boost!
Please don’t, I trust that there are people who would appreciate them but just not enough to pay bills.
I’ll gladly step in for you. Pls send moneys
I mean im an older dude so my guess is I could not make much money. Oh and its not like im in great shape or anything.
Already have. If you want to limit the exposure to e.g. not damage any future career opportunities then just make it expensive. I did it for £12.99 a month, no free page, no PPV, no RP etc.
Converted from existing audience of older men I had on YT (3k subs back then), minimal marketing, mostly 1-2 GIFs a week spammed to various subs for it that didn’t have too much effect (ig i was being downvoted by bots/other women?) and had about 5-6 users total across a few months so I ended up having close to ~£100 total which was good groceries money (pre the mid-2022 price inflation) for the month or so I was out of a job, not enough to live on on its own but a good bonus, meant I could eat something other than bread and beans once in a while.
Fwiw it was fun and a great ego boost ngl, kinda almost makes me wanna do it again even though I def don’t have to.
