OnlyFans Is Only For Now

Last week, the company behind OnlyFans, a platform where sex
workers can generate income by providing adult content to paid
subscribers, announced that it would ban sexually explicit uploads
starting October 1. Less than a week later, the company reversed
its decision after public backlash. On today’s episode, Rachelle
and Madison talk about the rise of OnlyFans, and its importance to
independent sex workers. Then they interview Slate sex columnist
and OnlyFans performer Jessica Stoya about her experience on the
platform over the past year, and why this sort of fight isn’t
anything new for those who’ve been in the industry. Jessica Stoya’s
recent piece on OnlyFans is, “I Made Thousands on OnlyFans. I Have
a Dark Suspicion About What’s Coming.” You can read more from her
by checking out Slate’s How To Do It sex advice column which she
writes every week with Rich Juzwiak. Podcast production by Daniel
