Is the DWP morphing into a pimp? This new article is a follow up to our previous one on how UK job centres are encouraging OnlyFans as self-employment for unemployed women. This new article explains more about how that encouragement works; why OnlyFans is not an easy way to make

The idea of reinventing 'sex work' to make it safe and profitable is a folly. You can only profit if you do more, give more. It's inherently expoitative. The only winning more is not to play.

No amount of making a website that "just a horny girl with a camera" wants to use will make that a viable business if the men who buy these services don't pay. The vast majority of women on OnlyFans earn very little. I suspect it will be the same with this new site too, for the

The problem is that punters drive this industry. No amount of making a platform for performers will change that. If the content doesn't please the punter, he won't buy. If he can't get his niche content, his 1-2-1 with his chosen favourite, he won't buy.

I understand being sick of the OnlyFans model. We've pointed out before that earning rapidly depends on 1-2-1 contact (virtual or not) with demanding fans, and this becomes hours and hours of each day if you want to earn. Punters want more for less, more extreme, more niche.

However, if the world decides that women like this are 'sex workers' and should be listened to, ignoring those of us who are working on the street, in brothels, or via pimping websites, any ideas of the safety of this 'sex work' will be completely distorted.

It's also curious to note this woman and 'creators' like her are called 'sex workers', when they are creating porn, most of which is solo. We've long said that the only difference between porn and prostitution is that there's a camera present in one of them.

Moving to a dedicated platform with 18+ checks is far better, of course, but it's an interesting admission to how many 'creators' deliberately flout the no-porn laws on mainstream social media. The article mentions 'Gen Z' are souring on porn - when it's shoved in your face

The woman interviewed complains of 22 TikTok accounts banned, and circumventing censorship by using slang. No thought of 'perhaps I shouldn't post porn on this platform', just carrying right on doing so, allowing more people (& children) to see her porn without any checks.

Good evening, Sian here. The Guardian has a story on a new apparently 'ethical' porn site to rival OnlyFans. The difference? Their algorithm promotes old content as much as new, 'creators' earn 2% more. What's curious is the complaints about porn on the rest of the net.

.@AshReganMSP said, “My Unbuyable Bill has one clear purpose: to draw prostitution into the light of legislation and out from the shadows of shame and the slick global rebranding of the pimp lobby, whose only purpose is profit." https://t.co/Iuf9gshwgl

We suggest you read this brilliant article on @nordicmodelnow's website, which explains why they support the #Unbuyable bill that has been put forward by @AshReganMSP. https://t.co/4QqH5lDMGB MACS supports this bill too and we hope that you do too. If so, please help raise

feelings of despair about the women’s pain and the punters’ lack of understanding of the consequences of their actions. Then the idea of one-sided criminalisation of the punter struck me like lightning. The idea ... gave me a sense of everything falling into place. C. Høigård

the punter was done... Eventually the women came to feel worthless, dirty and disgusting. These stories were very similar to accounts we’d heard from victims of... incest, rape and domestic violence. The research group disagreed about many things, but we shared the same

Survivors of prostitution face the brutal reality of physical and mental health harms from this exploitative global industry, including complex PTSD. I welcome the Government’s constructive response to my call for sustained investment where it is desperately needed, to support

Such an incredible moment in time today being introduced & recognized in the Canadian Senate Chamber. Thank you Senator Julie Miville-Dechêne (@mivillej) for this once-in-a-lifetime experience - another Parliamentarian ally who is passionate about sexual exploitation in Canada.

Another shocking #surrogacy story from the United States. Cindy Bi, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, used two surrogate mothers at the same time. One went through an emergency C-section and a #hysterectomy. The other lost the baby at seven months. Now, the commissioning
