Teens as young as 12 see OnlyFans as an appealing alternative to traditional work, study finds
www.psypost.org
A qualitative study involving Spanish adolescents found that many minors are familiar with OnlyFans and view it as a realistic source of income. The study raises concerns about how media exposure shapes adolescent perceptions of sexuality, gender, and economic opportunity.

A new study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture has found that many adolescents in Spain, including those as young as 12, are not only aware of OnlyFans but also see it as a viable and even empowering way to make money. In group discussions with over 160 teenagers, researchers discovered that platforms promoting erotic content are influencing how young people—especially girls—view economic opportunity, self-worth, and sexuality. Teens frequently framed content creation as a personal choice or expression of agency, while minimizing the risks.

    Do you think most kids by the age of 12, haven’t seen any porn, at all?

    I know lots of neighborhood kids who are clearly patented much more closely and have no clue about this stuff.

    You then know a lot of neighborhood kids who have lied to you about their knowledge of this stuff.

      Lovely how so many of you are just settled that all kids are liars and all kids are ruined by the internet and all kids are exposed to porn.

      Any other boomerisms from you? Sexist tropes? Bigoted stereotypes?
