Long post alert 💐
It’s been a year since I began online sex work. While some of the insights I’ve gained wouldn’t surprise anyone, a few of the positive ones have shocked me. I’ve never considered myself the most embodied person. I’ve never consider myself very artful, either, whether in taste or in the creative sense. Knowing how to dress, decorate my living space, develop an aesthetic, or present my imaginings to the world are not things that have ever come naturally to me. But creating content for OnlyFans has radically changed my perspective on art, creativity, and the body. I’ve begun to think about shape, color, form, angles, framing, and beauty in new ways. Which pose best captures my essence? How might I thoughtfully present myself to a crowd of affectionate strangers? Where does the lighting make me glow? How might I curate an archive of my life that is both accurate and alluring? Where is the line between sensual and sexual? Here is a picture I was proud of last summer, and here is a picture I am proud of now. I hope watching my growth on this page is at least 10% as interesting to you as it is to me! These changes are profound, and impact my life well beyond my work here. If I can share even one taste of that journey with you, I’ll have done my job well, I think.
