An unlimited amount of free p*rn in different genres is available on the internet and still, the OnlyFans business has seen tremendous growth in the last few years. A common question that pops up in the minds of many people is – ” Why are people paying a hefty price for something which is available for free? It does not make sense economically, there is enough supply for the demand.”
Let’s first understand the human psyche being buying customized items even at a premium.
The psychology behind buying customized items is rooted in the idea that people have a deep-seated desire for uniqueness and self-expression. Customizing an item allows a person to make it their own, adding a personal touch that reflects their individual tastes and preferences. This personalization creates a sense of attachment to the item, making it more valuable and meaningful to the owner.
The same applies to the case of the OnlyFans subscription. People who pay for it get a sense of ownership over the OnlyFans models. The OnlyFans models cater to their online demands in chats and videos which makes the experience personal for subscribers. They ‘perform’ as per the whims of their ‘customers’, shake their bodies, and make steamy moves as demanded by the payer.
Lonely men enjoy the sense of attachment
Personalized interactions with the models evoke a sense of nostalgia or sentimentality. Loneliness can create a strong desire for social connection and companionship, making it difficult for lonely men to be alone. When they meet a woman who they feel they can connect with, they may become overly attached in an attempt to fill their emotional void. This attachment can be driven by fear of being alone, a need for validation, or a desire for emotional intimacy.
Lonely men who have failed at making healthy relationships with women in real world find OnlyFans clubs as a way to feel proximity with women who can cater to their desires and enjoy attachment with models by simply paying a premium.
Loneliness can also lead to low self-esteem, making it difficult for lonely men to believe that they deserve relationships with women. In these cases, they may become attached to a woman as a way to boost their self-esteem and feel better about themselves.
Paying money to feel the attachment compensates for that low self-esteem as they feel that they have ‘worked’ for it and did not get it for free on a platter, unlike free adult content.
Fandom
Most of the OnlyFans models cultivate a large number of fan followers on various social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. They interact regularly with their followers through social media posts and are ‘celebs’ in their genre.
By subscribing to their OnlyFans accounts, these fans get a chance to interact personally with their ‘celebs’ who will perform and expose skin as they desire. This makes the experience unique for the payers.
They enjoy the sense of exclusivity and ownership over their celebs by having personalized and interactive experience.
Many men see this as a way to support the models economically whose fans they are.
Lust
Lust can make men pay for their satisfaction by driving a strong desire for sexual gratification. Men who are experiencing strong feelings of lust may be willing to pay for access to customized sexual experiences or material, and online services. Attraction to the good looks of some models may drive them to pay to see the models expose and perform steamy moves online. It’s like asking a personal dance performer to dance to the ‘vulgar’ songs of one’s liking and the dancer fulfilling his demands, something which cannot be accomplished by watching a similar stage dance performed in a crowd of millions.
Conclusion
This article educates that how platforms like OnlyFans flourish despite the availability of free adult content. The insecurities of young men and the emotional vulnerabilities of lonely men provide ripe grounds for the growth of this trend. If men are able to work on their personalities and make healthy relationships with women in the real world they won’t need a defense mechanism to cope with their insecurities.
It is important to note that this behavior can also be harmful, leading to risky sexual practices, and the exploitation of others, and can be indicative of deeper emotional or psychological issues. We have been educating about such issues in different articles.
