    I’ve met three women at my workplace who’ve done OF material (they wanted me to sub to them on their instagram, I neither do Insta nor am I really interested)… None of them were particularly traditionally pretty, but I guess some dudes out there are into it. Feet pics, fart p*rn, asmr… I’m kind of in awe at their ability to make money off this, because a) as a man I cant and b) clearly the job aint paying enough. The moral outrage needs to twist from what she does to what employers pay.

      It’s clearly a recent balance update - women get lower salaries but they can get free cash for a few pictures! /s

          I knew a guy that did a few BG porno scenes. He told me he made between £150-200 a scene. It took about 5 hours to shoot the scenes iirc.

          I am not arguing that a male stripper makes more or less money. I am arguing against the shockingly widespread and completely delusional idea that seems prevalent online that all women can just simply earn money online by posting any pictures and apparently are all just too dumb to do so.

            Woah.

            You haven’t made any arguments though. In fact around this I see 2 comments from you that are just simple questions. It’s not delusional to say that Women have more immediate access to a larger market share, and men do not.
            Whether that be for social or sexist, or whatever, reasons is not making that untrue but you seem to be immediately taking that as to also equate a different position entirely. One that seems to be based on projection considering the “dumb” you pulled out.

            Be upset over how people are being treated that people feel the need to turn to being sex objects to survive. Not at the people just jealous of thinking they would be better of if they could just be one too.

        I mean you can, but the market is a lot smaller.

        Aside from that, there’s nothing stopping you besides pride, and going through the efforts to make yourself attractively presentable. Grab some filter apps, and selfie editing apps, and prepare to spam your advertisements everywhere possible. Maybe even network a bit on different socials too. It’s absolutely not zero effort, I’ll say that.

        There’s give and take though. Men have access to a lot of easier to get into fields.

        I’ve never met any men doing it tbh. I only ever hear of women doing it and male customers. I’ve never heard of women customers of male material? Or even gay customers of that sort of thing. I’ll always accept of I’m wrong on that.

          The gay customers definitely exist. I suspect some guys out there make a living off of women, but by reading. Women are more attuned to audio, in general, than men. We tend to be attuned to visual stimulation.

            Women pay for a lot of hentai too.

            I think the whole “women are less visually attuned to sex than men” thing is more social conditioning than people realize.

      The moral outrage needs to twist from what she does to what employers pay.

      Seriously, this needs to be screamed from the rooftops. We need to stop kink shaming and slut shaming, and start shaming corporations and billionaires.

      Why “clearly”? Maybe the job does pay enough, and they just want to make some money with a side hustle. Would you say the same thing if they were, like, selling soap on Etsy?

      The funny thing is always wanting more rarely has anything to do with what employers want to pay.

      You think if these ladies were making 6 figures they wouldn’t be doing OF for extra money? Ok…lol
