A debate over adult site OnlyFans has caused a huge debate on one of the leading social media pages in Ireland.
As one of the biggest subscription services on the planet, OnlyFans made headlines recently after the platform was forced intoa u-turn on a new rule change which would have prohibited “any content containing sexually explicit conduct”, though non-sexual nudity would still be permitted.
The site has millions of users, some who post explicit content - and according to one post in the Ireland reddit page, it might be about to get another.
One user took to the page on Monday to explain a delicate situation they had found themselves in.
They wrote: "Had this disagreement with my girlfriend last night when she said (possibly joking possibly not) she'd start an only fans. We'd already discussed this before briefly and I expressed that anyone being able to view my partner in a sexual way would make me extremely uncomfortable and I wouldn't be okay with it. She began to ask me why would it be so bad since its "just pictures and you'd get paid" which still doesn't sit right with me and I'd almost consider it cheating and would make me question my own worth in the relationship.
"Our relationship is so strong but this genuinely has me questioning if we both feel as strongly about the relationship."
And the comments section was extremely split on what the original poster should do.
One popular piece of advice read: "I wouldn't outright forbid anything OP, that backfires. I would be honest that you are uncomfortable with it, and ask her some of the more probing questions about it to see if she is fully comfortable. Look into it together, does she know what it fully entails? Ask how she'd feel if someone wanted x picture or a gf experience, ask if she'd feel comfortable pretending to be on love with guys who send slimy messages at all hours"
A second agreed, adding: "Hey mate sorry that this is causing you trouble, I think it needs to be communicated that it’s not just herself that she is exposing. It’s also you that is going to be exposed to backlash from friends/family etc. Explain to her that you would rather not be put in this vulnerable position. Hopefully she respects you enough to consider your feelings on this matter. Best of luck!"
However, another person urged the original poster to make a tough call, writing: "Red flag. She wants to sell her body on the internet for strangers to jack off to and isn't taking your feelings into account as her partner. I'm not saying break up or anything but yikes."
A fourth said: "Sorry you're in that situation. If it was me, I would nope out of that relationship," while another chimed in with: "I'd breakup with my gf if I found out she was doing it. Not that I see anything wrong with it, I just don't want a partner that does that."
