In 2020, Paris Bush had just lost her job and was struggling financially as a single parent. On the suggestion of one of her Instagram followers, she started an OnlyFans account. She had no idea that this would be a pivotal moment in her life — in less than a year, she would rise into the top 1% of OnlyFans creators and make her living from online sex work.
Over 300 million users subscribe to OnlyFans, seeking content from over four million creators. The popularity of the video subscription site exploded in 2020, and it has become known as a key online space for sex workers and their customers. But for those who have turned sex into a career, how does selling sexy online affect their offline relationship with sex and their bodies?
Host Anita Rao talks to Paris about her journey to creating content that runs the gamut from nude and spicy to spoofy and comical. Paris describes how sex work pulled her and her kids out of poverty and allowed her the financial freedom to pursue her dreams.
Anita also talks with online sex worker Maxim Lupin, whose work explores the intersections of kink and sex ed. He explains how important it is for him to be a trans man of color representing kink on platforms like OnlyFans, and he tells Anita why online sex work is the profession that best supports his mental and physical health.
