A study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior set out to determine the proclivity of folks who are subscribed to an OnlyFans page versus the general population.
Not only did the study determine that OnlyFans users and nonusers have similar attitudes towards things like casual sex and the importance of birth control, it also examined just who is exactly subscribing to OnlyFans.
And the results…will not shock you at all.
Study author Stacey Diane Arañez Litam, an assistant professor at Cleveland State University and owner of SDAL Consultation & Educational Services and the Brave Space Institute, told PsyPost that the majority of subscribers on OnlyFans were “were predominantly white, married, men who identified as heterosexual or bisexual/pansexual.”
Litam believes the biggest takeaway from the study is that “individuals who create and access SEM (sexually explicit material) content are not significantly different than those who do not.
“Based on the results of our study, OnlyFans users and nonusers endorsed similar sexual attitudes. I believe this finding is important because it directly challenges stigmatizing attitudes that portray SEM users as deviant, hypersexual, and sexually permissive. Ultimately, when it comes down to sexual attitudes, we are all more alike than different.”
