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.

      On the contrary, I exist, therefore not a contradiction in terms.

      Unless of course you think I’m some existentialist figment of your imagination?

        Rather, the contradiction means you’re wrong about one or both of those labels. But I doubt you haven’t heard all that before.

              No, I’m asking you if you know a rational Christian when you were given examples of them.

              The guy who invented calculus, and the guy who made millions of children happy by telling them they were worthy both strike me as rational beings, wouldn’t you agree?

              Both of them were Christians.
