COL602: LTAS: JustForFans / OnlyFans

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the cubs get sexy online. For this installment of Let’s Talk About Sex, the guys discuss the creator-driven content sites such as OnlyFans and JustForFans and their recent uptick in popularity during the pandemic, particularly for those wishing to share their body positivity and other sexual exploits for profit. As the guys share their thoughts on these sites and their popularity, what kind of impact is this having on traditional pornography? Is this another fad or the eventual evolution of the porn industry?

Lets Talk About Sex: JustForFans / OnlyFans

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 shifted the world economy in serious ways. Prior to the global pandemic, the landscape of self-promotion as an artist was already taking off in the digital realm. Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube rose to the top of the field. However these entities expend a lot of effort, time, and energy to limit access or remove adult content out of their own legal protective interests. Sites like XTube have recently taken actions that have limited adult content creators options. 

Now it’s 2021 and over that past year it appears that the LGBTQIA broader community has become more familiar and possibly comfortable with sites like JustFor.Fans and OnlyFans.com as platforms where personal freedoms are housed for body positivity, sexual expression, art/modeling, and more. 

What do we think about this development? How much have these options helped people financially through the past year plus? Is this a natural evolution while portions of society struggle with conservative vs progressive viewpoints?

Hi again, cubs!

First, I would like to thank you for giving me a shout out in your last episode. I am glad my email was able to clarify some of your questions and I hope your episode was able to answer other people’s questions as well. Second, I was gladly surprised to receive a public invitation to your podcast! I’d be happy to try it out as I have never been invited to a podcast before. I am going to be moving to Albuquerque, NM this Friday and will not have internet at home for a few days… or many (if you have comcast you may know what I mean). However, let me know how you’d like to start this.

Best,

Francisco Salgado-Garcia (aka Cisco)

I will not be silenced by fear.

The father of Omar Mateen, the suspect who shot and killed more than 50 people at Orlando’s gay nightclub Pulse, said that his son didn’t like it when he saw two men kissing recently in Miami.

Go out and kiss. In public. Make seeing a kiss a common thing. Take away it’s “shock” value. Do it for those who died, and those who won’t because you had the courage to express your love.
