      I never said it was easy. But people need to make an effort as well. Don’t hang out with people who will treat you like shit for being yourself, I know some circumstances you can’t but your friends aren’t your friends if they don’t actually like YOU. Therapy is great for most people as well.

      Like the writer of this article, I have worked in the same space. I myself did not do Only Fans but, I was an assistant to someone who did. I did promo and stuff for them across multiple platforms. Most men would say fairly quick into conversions with her that they can’t be themselves in front of their friends/family.

      When she did challenge them on that, they were completely unwilling to open up to literally anyone in their lives even if they thought those people would be supportive. I’m just saying, if people make an effort through community support, therapy, self work etc. Society will be better.
