OnlyFans boom: X-rated girls make millions

The OnlyFans boom: the girls making millions on X-rated websites

 Model arrested in Hawaii for murder

(60 Minutes Australia) Posting highly provocative, often explicit photos and videos of yourself on the internet for the pleasure of thousands, sometimes millions, of anonymous oglers is not most people’s idea of a smart thing to do.

• An OnlyFans model is accused of murder in her boyfriend's fatal stabbing
• VIDEO: Maura Higgins reveals she was sexually assaulted while asleep in Irish taxi
• Study suggests shared reality plays a critical role in stressor reactivity, but only among women

So why then are so many young Australian women signing up to show off on X-rated social media sites like OnlyFans?

Well, they say it’s an easy way to a fast fortune. They also claim they’re not being exploited because they control what they reveal and what it costs. With so much skin in the game, these women are setting themselves up for life.

But as Sarah Abo reports, being risqué is not entirely risk-free.
