So when is a sex worker not just a sex worker? Well, all the time—because sex workers are multi-faceted people just like anyone else you meet. But according to Bonnie Blue, the reason she isn’t “just” a sex worker is that she’s also a self-proclaimed educator. If today’s your first day on the internet, Bonnie Blue is an OnlyFans star who has a knack for keeping her name in the spotlight, usually because someone is mad at her for doing what she does for a living—banging barely legal dudes and introducing them to the world of sex.

Bonnie Blue has recently gone on record insisting that her content serves an educational purpose, offering viewers “realistic” portrayals of sexual intimacy. According to Blue, most traditional adult-entertainment content is overly staged and very detached from the real-life experiences it’s inspired by. Blue’s content is a little less polished than the highly staged pornographic material the adult-entertainment industry has become known for. Given that Bonnie Blue is famous for stunts where she has sex with 100+ men in one day, I’m not sure how realistic that aspect of her work is for your everyday Joe looking to get doinked. You do have to give her credit, though—her lessons are VERY hands-on, even if you have to wait for the 80 guys in front of you to have their turn with teacher first.

Blue has made no bones (see what I did there?) about her preference for newly-legal men when it comes to the partners she engages with for her OnlyFans channel. Concerned citizens of the internet are perpetually wagging fingers at Blue, breaking out their best performative outrage as they cry, “Who will think of the men?” But these same critics are mysteriously silent when it comes to male content creators who pursue newly-legal women. Blue has had travel visas to Australia and Fiji revoked due to the nature of her work and the faux concern over the young men of those countries, but no such concern over male sex workers doing the same thing ever seems to trend on social media. Curious, that. Apparently, society has no problem with a May-December fling as long as the older party is the man, not the woman.

What is remarkable about Blue is that despite the public scrutiny of her work, she has a rigorous consent process that all potential partners must undergo before a sexual encounter with her. All participants must prove they’re of age with an ID check, sign a written agreement (and check a box stating they’ve read said agreement prior to signing), and submit to a breathalyzer test to ensure sobriety immediately before their planned encounter. She doesn’t cut corners when it comes to legality! While her name may continuously do the rounds on social media for her preferences for younger men, she’s providing a fierce example of what it truly means to seek and attain consent prior to engaging in sexual congress. If you don’t learn something about sex from her content, you’re certainly going to be schooled on consent.

Whether or not Blue is a sexual educator, we’ll let someone else decide. But her work points to a continued societal discomfort with women taking ownership of their sexuality rather than submitting to men who exploit it. One has to wonder: is the backlash against Bonnie Blue really about her, or does it have more to do with society as a whole still struggling to accept a woman who fully celebrates her own sexuality?

Bonnie Blue may not be for everyone, but you have to give her credit for forcing a conversation about double standards and consent. You might not agree with her teaching method, but if she truly is an educator, we’ve all been schooled in hypocrisy.
