Men at Work: Selling Sex Online

2023 · 52 min · ★ 6.0 · Documentary

Sites like OnlyFans, Flirt4Free, and JustforFans have destabilized the traditional production, distribution, and monetization of X-rated entertainment. The potential and risk to make the big bucks, along with all the headaches of running a business, is now in the hands of porn stars and starry-eyed newcomers working from home. Performers have become their own studios, producing, shooting, and casting their own work - often from their homes. And just like a Netflix account - people pay to watch. Sure, porn is still popular but it’s a one-way experience and guys don’t want to pay for it. They want the opportunity to get to know somebody they’ve seen in a magazine, on TV, or on social media. Meet your roster of online boyfriends.
