The consumption of pornography and prostitution has evolved in recent years, taking on new forms. One of them is the Onlyfans platform, an extension of the sex business that has young women as victims, and whose income has increased by 553% since the health crisis.
This is clear from the report “Onlyfans. A whitewashed space of the sex business”, prepared by the Federation of Young Women, which reveals that Spain is the fifth country with the most content creators on Onlyfans. 97% are women, compared to 3% men, while the majority user is a man between 25 and 44 years old.
In the presentation of the report, the vice president of the Young Women Federation, Raquel Pérez, warned that Onlyfans is a new form of sexual exploitation that attracts more and more young women and that develops the same patterns of prostitution and pornography, reproducing sexual violence against women and the “most atrocious” forms of male domination.
And, although Onlyfans prohibits users from sharing or redistributing the content, the right is assigned to disclose those images to third parties, so the content does not belong to the creators, but to Onlyfans and if the women unsubscribe, their photos and videos will continue to be broadcast on the platform. “It is an eternal revictimization.”
“Girls, adolescents and young people are captured who approach this platform innocently, when deep down they are getting involved in an entire structure of pornography and prostitution,” he noted.
Specifically, from this report they warn of the increase in the number of minors who are within the protection system and reside in shelters, who are very vulnerable women and who are increasingly using these platforms to escape this situation of vulnerability and generate income.
Because, although in theory minors cannot access Onlyfans, the reality is that you only need a name, an ID and a photograph that they can get of an adult, as the Cybersecurity Institute has already warned.
Pérez has warned that the pimping industry is taking advantage of the development of new technologies to be able to reach young women and create new spaces to practice prostitution.
“The Onlyfans discourse represents a new danger because it penetrates young women through social networks, where we see a series of discourses being reproduced that trivialize and glamorize prostitution and make it up as something empowering,” warned the vice president of the Young Women Federation.
The report demonstrates how Onlyfans generates millions of euros a year based on a series of relationships that are based on “lifelong” pimping: men who recruit women through these platforms.
But the greatest risk, and one that the minors are not aware of, is how they enter prostitution from the pornography business. “It is a gateway that facilitates prostitution discourse about women and normalizes the payment of money for the provision of any type of sexual image.”
And although it is women in vulnerable situations who access this platform in greater numbers, there has also been a significant number of university women who expose their bodies in a context of sexual objectification of women and the “false sense of empowerment” through hypersexualization”.
There is also – according to the Federation of Young Women – a whitewashing of platforms such as Onlyfans. Euphemisms such as ‘content creator’ or ‘sugarbaby’ are used, which also glamorizes what is actually sexual exploitation.
There is also the presence of celebrities who have profiles on this website and who brag about the income they bring in.
As for the pimps, they can be individuals, agents or even the girls’ boyfriends, who say they “support” and “help” the creators of sexual content, when what they do is make a profit from them. “They are networks of pimps capturing young women,” Pérez denounces.
Because the truth is that Onlyfans, as a pimp industry, takes 20% of the income that women produce with their content.
This platform has experienced an exponential increase in recent years, especially as a result of the pandemic. In the last year, the number of content creators increased 47% to 3.2 million, while the number of users grew 27% to nearly 239 million.
In August 2023, this platform earned 525 million dollars compared to 432 million in 2022.

Onlyfans: the new form of sexual exploitation that focuses on young women
Abandoned and tied to a tree in the woods of Colfontaine: Internet users outraged and moved by the story of a dog who owes his life to walkers
#Abandoned #tied #tree #woods #Colfontaine #Internet #users #outraged #moved #story #dog #owes #life #walkers
Indignation, anger, sadness and the desire that such acts finally be severely punished by the courts, animate Internet users. It must be written that the act is as cruel as it is cowardly. This Tuesday, a dog was found abandoned, tied to a tree, in the middle of the Colfontaine woods. The poor animal owes its salvation only to the vigilance of a walker who spotted it and took care of it.
On social networks, the publication denouncing the facts, with supporting photo, is circulating like wildfire. At the time of writing these lines, it has been shared more than 21,000 times, commented on more than 1000 times and recorded more than 2300 outraged reactions. The author of the publication is looking for information to identify the owner.
This Wednesday, the latter announced that it had achieved its objective. It now remains to be seen what actions will be taken. The fact remains that on the web, Internet users are disillusioned and are demanding sanctions commensurate with such an event, the dog having had no possibility of fleeing and therefore being left alone to its fate.

Still on social networks, an Internet user gives news about the animal. “I am a centralist for the 101 emergency line, currently in Mons. This Monday, at the end of the day, we received a call for a dog found by walkers. He was tied to a tree in the Colfontaine woods,” she wrote. “File created and therefore police notified. But no intervention possible for several hours due to lack of personnel. Being a born animal lover, I didn’t think for a second and sent my dad to look for him.”
The latter easily spots the animal. “He was always in the company of these nice walkers who had contacted us. But they didn’t dare approach him because he was barking. My dad, having understood that it was distress barking, freed him from his hell and left with him. This dog is a sweetheart. We called him Marius. It’s a male. The vet told us he was around 6-7 months old, max.”

In perfect health, the latter should be placed for adoption. The young woman also gives some information regarding her behavior with other animals or even on walks. “It’s a heart of love, truly. He has certainly experienced bad things but doesn’t hold a grudge against anyone. Another proof that animals have nothing to envy of human beings who disgust me more and more every day.”
And added: “I would like to find an association through which its advertising could be done so that the adoption is carried out according to the rules of the art, with contract, microchip, sterilization and treatment against parasites. We would be his host family for the time being.” A happy ending that everyone now hopes for poor Marius, who fortunately and visibly has a lucky star above his head.
