Audrey Aura
Audrey Aura, a top 0.4% OnlyFans model, bares all by discussing what it is like to be an online sex worker in todays society, and how whorephobia is still extremely prominent despite the enormous growth of the porn industry over the pandemic.
"We are belittled, slut-shamed, body shamed, and disregarded on a daily basis for our job. People don't see us as people once they learn our job title. We have come a long way from merely 5 years ago, but there is still a huge road ahead of us until the industry is destigmatised," Audrey continues, "I am often told that I must have no morals or self respect to be in this industry, but often those are the same people who go and watch porn for free, which is likely pirated and obtained immorally."
OnlyFans themselves tried to ban explicit content in August 2021 despite that being what the site is known for, which caused an uproar among the community of sex workers. Although that ban was suspended only 5 days later, the site's demeanor towards the community is still widely negative. OnlyFans has no home page, categories, or easy way for users to browse through model's accounts in order to find some they may be interested in. OnlyFans models are left to market themselves through other means, which is a struggle in itself. Social media platforms constantly shut down accounts, even if they're not breaking any rules or posting any racy content. "Just by having an OnlyFans account, you open yourself up to a world of hate from people you never would expect it from," Audrey says.
OnlyFans models are consistently told that their work is not "real" work, as society only sees the content that is being produced. "The amount of people who think that all we do is take some nude photos every so often, is astonishing. The reality is, we're often working 12+ hours every day on marketing, customer service, sales, editing, filming, scheduling, bookkeeping, and so much more," Audrey explains.
OnlyFans models also face stigma and shaming when it comes to dating. Men will watch porn, but refuse to date someone who does OnlyFans, and claims that we are degrading ourselves by putting our bodies out there to be viewed. "I'm lucky enough to have already been in a solid relationship when I started OnlyFans, but I have many friends who are also in the industry, and now are struggling to date because so many men are threatened by them, refuse to date them, or even goes so far to verbally harass them because of their job title," Audrey says.
Audrey aims to help destigmatise the industry, by spreading awareness and hopes that providing a constant conversation on the topic, will normalise it. Audrey will be releasing a masterclass on how to successfully start and grow your OnlyFans account, covering everything you need to know to become a successful top 0% model.
