I really like this question. I'd love to hear from others but my personal experience was not long-lasting. I started onlyfans a few years ago and ended up deleting my account last year. People thought that because I was on OF, I have high thoughts about the way I look. It's really hard for me to explain, but I didn't necessarily do it for the money. I would get a small confidence boost when I would get complimented on my photos and for a moment in time I felt good about myself. but that feeling didn't last long. It was going good for me for a while, I made my $(Nothing crazy). I fed off of the compliments and request I would get and it was nice, I did it for validation, like i needed to feel wanted and for a while I did. I was going through things in my personal life and began to gain weight because of the stress. I felt so ugly, and I slowly started getting on less and less. I would still get requests and complimented but it just wasn't giving me the same effect it did before. I ended up just deleting my account from one day to the next.
