Bonnie Blue is making headlines again. If you’re active on the internet, then you’ve likely heard of her—it’s hard not to. The OnlyFans content creator is known for her preference for newly minted legal adult men and had planned to travel to Australia for, as she put it, a marathon of encounters with them. Unfortunately for her, the Australian government caught wind of her intentions and revoked her travel visa. Someone has to think of the young men, amirite?
Bonnie Blue has been active on OnlyFans since 2023, consistently boasting multiple six-figure months on the platform. Part of her appeal—and the controversy surrounding her—is her preference for younger men. Eighteen-year-olds, to be specific. While her choice has sparked debate and accusations of predatory behavior, her actions remain fully within legal bounds.
Last week, however, the Australian government decided to cancel her work visa. Blue had mentioned plans to take paid work while in the country, which raised concerns of legal violations. The government’s actions were perhaps spurred by a change.org petition that garnered over 20,000 signatures, urging officials to deny her entry on “character grounds.” Her reputation hasn’t been helped by the consistent outrage on social media, where her name trends alongside a flurry of criticisms. Interestingly, this backlash rarely affects male sex workers engaging in similar practices.
If you zoom out from this latest Bonnie Blue controversy, the decision to revoke her visa highlights a broader societal double standard against women in the adult entertainment industry. Despite a well-documented history of predatory behavior by men in this industry, they rarely face visa bans or similar scrutiny for their intentions to pursue younger partners. Even male celebrities don’t experience the same level of backlash for controversial relationships with younger women, as seen during the Demi Moore-Ashton Kutcher era, where Moore faced a disproportionate amount of criticism.
Society stigmatizes female sexuality so deeply that women in the sex industry are often seen merely as objects to fulfill others’ desires. When they express their own preferences, however, they’re quickly penalized. Gone are the days of scarlet letters—we now simply revoke travel visas.
Nothing Bonnie Blue has done is illegal, and she takes extensive measures to ensure her partners are well-informed and consenting. She enforces background checks, ID verification, and even a breathalyzer test before any encounter. If a partner arrives under the influence, she won’t engage, upholding a strict policy of clear-headed consent. Despite her diligence in adhering to legal standards, the judgmental pearl-clutching persists, leading to restrictions that more often target women in the sex industry.
This is just the latest controversy surrounding Bonnie Blue, a flashpoint that underscores broader biases within the sex work industry. Her case exemplifies the ongoing pressure on women to be “better” than their male counterparts in the same line of work. If we’re truly aiming for equality, then sex workers—regardless of gender—should be held to the same standard.
