Teens as young as 12 see OnlyFans as an appealing alternative to traditional work, study finds
www.psypost.org
A qualitative study involving Spanish adolescents found that many minors are familiar with OnlyFans and view it as a realistic source of income. The study raises concerns about how media exposure shapes adolescent perceptions of sexuality, gender, and economic opportunity.

A new study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture has found that many adolescents in Spain, including those as young as 12, are not only aware of OnlyFans but also see it as a viable and even empowering way to make money. In group discussions with over 160 teenagers, researchers discovered that platforms promoting erotic content are influencing how young people—especially girls—view economic opportunity, self-worth, and sexuality. Teens frequently framed content creation as a personal choice or expression of agency, while minimizing the risks.

    What a r/nothingeverhappens crowd this sure is.

    One of our kids friends also has zero fucking interest in TV, video games, or phones. Even when he has complete access, or his parents aren’t around. All he ever wants to do is go fishing or play outside. We SEE this happen in real time when they visit or at birthday parties.

    Another one only ever wants to read and write books. Physical books. Rejected tablet reading.

    Of course some kids we know play GTA. We talk with our kids and put context around things.

    But you know, impossible that some of these kids today just aren’t all shitheads and might not have heard of some porn out there, and impossible that some anecdotes aren’t universal truths.
