> selling real interactions with models For some value of real... At least a stripper is actually there in front of you.

  But she's also there in front of you. I don't think people grasp how dissonant social isolation can be. I know a couple of guys that are sorta hikikomori and they both want human contact as well as don't want it. They would not enjoy at all to be in the strip club to leave the house, for people to be around. They just want to consume the same content but with some personalization like her saying their name. It's quite strange and I think we'll get many more people like this over time if we don't change something.

    > I think we'll get many more people like this over time if we don't change something. What is equally puzzling to me: "No one" is talking about what happens to women after they decide to stop doing sex work (I consider any sexual content on OF as sex work). What are the mental effects? Are they able to form meaningful, healthy, long-lasting relationships? I doubt it. Also, does it have effect on their employability?

  it may seem similar to a stripper or an escort but onlyfans is not just selling nudity or porn, they are selling faux relationships.

    > it may seem similar to a stripper or an escort but onlyfans is not just selling nudity or porn, they are selling faux relationships. The “but” there suggests you don’t really understand the things you are comparing to OF. The illusion of companionship has always been a major part of those in-person services.
