We wholeheartedly support this development and congratulate Sweden on its commitment to true equality between women and men.
 
“Sweden's parliament has passed a law banning the purchase of sexual performances for viewing online, including those on platforms like OnlyFans, marking a major update to the country’s sex purchase legislation.
 
Under the new law, it is illegal to pay someone to perform a sexual act remotely – such as via live video – for the specific purpose of the act being viewed by the buyer. It also criminalises profiting from or promoting others who perform such acts for payment on demand.
 
“This is a new form of sex purchase, and it’s high time we modernise the legislation to include digital platforms,” said Social Democrat MP Teresa Carvalho, after the bill was passed by a large majority in parliament.
 
While viewing and paying for pre-recorded content remains legal, the law targets live, commissioned interactions, which lawmakers argue blur legal and ethical lines.
 
Some OnlyFans creators have criticised the law, saying it harms their livelihoods. Carvalho responded that the law is not aimed at targeting adult content creators, but at protecting young people and vulnerable individuals. She pointed to documented links between online exploitation, human trafficking, drug abuse, and grooming into more severe forms of prostitution.”

Are these softcore industries also that bad? Is it because they're gateways into worse stuff or they're rife with trafficked and abused women as well? I never really looked into OnlyFans, but I've heard feminists' negative attitudes towards all the pro-"sex work" women with OnlyFans accounts who sell feet pics and think that's more representative of the industry than poor women being prostituted on the streets.

There are women on OnlyFans and the webcamming platforms who are trafficked and coerced by individuals and many more who are coerced through poverty, lack of opportunity, and cultural grooming. Men paying a woman to perform sexually for your sexual gratification is anathema to equality between the sexes and feeds men’s sense of superiority and sexual entitlement and reduces their empathy – the exact attitudes that underly men’s violence against women and girls.

That companies are making huge profits from this is abhorrent. OnlyFans alone makes huge profits. Its net revenue for 2023 increased by 20% on the previous year to $1.31 billion, with the company’s pre-tax profit jumping 25% to $658 million.

OnlyFans has changed how this all works and brought it into the mainstream and exposed children to such content on a scale previously unknown. This is because, unlike most webcamming sites, OnlyFans does not promote creators or send traffic to their content. This means that OnlyFans creators are on their own. If they want ‘fans’, they must go out looking for them, typically by promoting themselves on social media – through, for example, short clips of their sexualised content – which means that it gets pushed on the feeds of a much wider audience, including kids.

This has led to women, like Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue, doing ever more desperate stunts to attract ‘fans’ and the money they bring. Women are caught up in a gladiatorial-style race not only against each other, but also with films of military and terrorist violence. This begs the question of where it will end and what is the real cost.

According to Josephine Martinez, “every generation Z girl knows a girl who has been or is a camgirl”. This is hardly surprising since young women are told that ‘sex work’ is a job like any other and that stripping and pandering to men’s sexual demands on camera is both empowering and financially enriching. In fact data shows that the vast majority of OnlyFans content creators do not make much money.

We recommend the recording of our webinar on OnlyFans, which explains all this in more depth:
