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.

    I don’t think like a parent at all. I’m 18. I just can’t imagine someone in junior high being that clueless because none of my classmates were. Heck even the Mormon kids in my class, arguably the most sheltered and naive, knew what content is available online because even if they didn’t consume it, because they have friends and talk to their classmates.

    what’s more likely? that a bunch of hormonally charged teens don’t talk about sexual topics, or that some aspect of a teenager’s life isn’t known to their parents?

    The odds seem to favor number two, in my opinion. sorry.
