So, about 6-8 years ago I got into this on/off gig doing sign spinning even though I was getting too old to get really good at it. In spite of that it was pretty fun and actually paid well whenever I could get work for it. Most of the people who made the job work were in the prime of their lives, including my boss, who was a short girl and by my standards at least really attractive

I had to bow out of the job permanently because it was taking too much of a toll on my knees and back. Some time before then we started following each other on Instagram, around the time the pandemic was making everyone terminally online

One day after I quit she posted a story that said something to the extent of “DM me to get a link to something fun I’m doing,” I was clueless but I took her up on it, and it was a link to her Only Fans. That got me convinced to give the website a try. She mostly did solo stuff, which was exactly what I was into, and looked even better than I expected

It was fun to keep up with her on the site until I was an idiot and got my card permanently blocked because I fell for a different model doing a scam on a fake OF and my bank over-corrected when I reported by making it so my card just wouldn’t work for OF at all

Near the end of my misadventures with the site she seemed to have a different boyfriend from the one who was working with her in the same company. Around that time her content got more extreme and she started taking pictures with some gnarly bruises. Really hoping she’s doing okay now, she at least acknowledged the bruising and insisted she was fine

There was a teacher at my high school I’m pretty sure did some fetish porn when she was at uni. It looked just like her and she did some of it outdoors and the scenery looked very accurate for my state (in Australia). It’s also the sort of niche fetish where most of the people making porn for it are also into it themselves not just because they are being paid.

yeah, duh. my friends lol. why, who are you hanging out with that isn’t doing porn?

My brothers ex started doing onlyfans. I never saw it though because I dont know the handle, and if my wife discovered I’d been trying to find it she’d go spare.

A lady I talked to for a month or two years ago had an OF and casually told me I should subscribe. I guess that counts, but I never saw her material. 🤷‍♂️

This is a story from many years ago when I was younger and working in a coffee shop. Your usual mob of disaffected teens and twenty-somethings gossiping by day and drinking by night. A coworker’s birthday was coming up and she wanted to go to Seattle’s infamous HUMP! film festival. So if I’m going to be sitting there watching porn with my coworkers I might as well be plastered, right?

Unfortunately one of our number, K, couldn’t attend at the time as she was ~18 and too young to drink (in America). And yet who should appear on the cinema screen, larger than life, taking a full load to the face? Too young to drink but old enough to perform. We stumbled into work the next day hungover and there she was, beaming with pride, “So what did you think?”

I wish I could remember more but I’ve been blessed to forget. Unsure how much I actually miss my 20’s.

Why is there no ‘Your mom!’ answer here? What have we become?

My cousin Joseph. In the 80s. Very dramatic, very gay, very attractive. Successful in his field. Especially VHS.

He got AIDS. Set all the records for living the longest with it. Died around 2002 from liver failure due to the meds.

Came from a traditional Italian family. His grandmother would frame his (edited) magazine covers. His father didn’t take it as well.

Saw a porn actress at a regular movie theater in LA. Cant recall her name. She looked great in person.

Knew a guy socially that did porn. We named him Porno-Pete. Never looked up up his work because I’m not into dudes.

I used to have a Science teacher who was a pretty attractive ginger lady, probably in her 20s/30s at the time.

Someone found a topless photo of a woman online who looked just like her, and had been spreading it around the school to the point where the photo had been shared across nearly every kid’s PDA device. (For context: this was before the era of smartphones, but our school took part in a council trial scheme where they gave every pupil Pocket LOOX C550 PDAs. Yes, it was a colossal waste of money and no, they were almost never used in lessons.)

I always assumed it wasn’t her and someone just found a pornstar doppelganger. Found out fifteen years later from my best friend that she was fired after an investigation found she was actually doing porn to fund her university studies and PGCE.

A lady I connected with online (not a dating site or similar) asked if I was willing to help with a web site. I said ok and we met up at a nearby late night restaurant. It turned out it was a porn site and she was a porn actress, wanting to have her own site instead of the exploitive one that she was then on. We had a nice conversation about all kinds of things including web development.

The restaurant was not fancy but she spent a while picking out the cheapest things on the menu. I was the one who suggested the meeting place and I inferred that she was having cash flow problems while I was working as a programmer, so I figured I should pick up the tab when it came. It was just the considerate thing to do. When I picked it up, she freaked out as if I expected something from her because of it. She left the restaurant in a big hurry and I didn’t hear from her after that, oh well.

She was an interesting person, and attractive, and I didn’t anticipate that reaction at all. I like to think we could have gotten to know each other better if I’d let her pay her own tab. Shrug, whatever.

A high school classmate. We went to a Catholic high school. She came back years later, broke into the school over a weekend with a crew to film her debut porn shoot. The school tried to keep it quiet, but c’mon, I’m sure every student and half the alumni from previous 5 years knew about it before classes started the following Monday.

I had a neighbour who worked as a high end escort. Does that count?

She was an average looking woman, but good god, was she talkative. She could have an hour long conversation with a literal door knob. By far the most extroverted person I’ve known.

The saddest part of knowing her was that it was important for her that her neighbours knew who she was and she’d let the sane ones know what she did because it gave her a sense of safety knowing that there was a community of people who may shelter her temporarily or call the cops if needed.

I had heard two people from my highschool class (several years after highschool obviously) had started Onlyfans accounts.

One was a guy, one was a girl.

I was mostly just curious so I definitely subbed to both for a month. No regrets.

Always support a friend’s small business I say.

When I was still in high school, one of the seniors I didn’t know too well did some hardcore bdsm stuff under a pseudonym and it got out to the student population. Can’t confirm but I think she was 18. I saw it and while it wasn’t my thing, it was absolutely surreal seeing her get whipped and brutally fucked. Even had an after-care section, which was a good sign. Looked like she enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, this destroyed her school life, and her younger sister’s as well so they ended up moving. She was in drama, so it was expected for her to go into acting, just surprising what type. Hope they’re both doing good these days.
