Uncertain times for OnlyFans or when paying for porn gets complicated


OnlyFans has been around since 2016 and it is best known for letting creators upload any kind of content, including porn, and lock it behind a paywall. Last week, the UK based company announced it would no longer allow ”explicit sexual content” in the future, only to suspend the plan after outcry from users, a few days later.

Why did OnlyFans try to ban porn?
The OnlyFans board management announced on 19 August 2021 it planned to ban the posting of any sexually explicit conduct, citing a need to comply with banking partners and payout providers. “In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform, and to continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines”, according to a statement provided to the media.
A few days later, OnlyFans reversed course. On Wednesday, it declared that it had “secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community.” It suspended its plans for the new policy, and as of this writing, there’s no indication it will reimplement the ban.
Mike Stabile, director of public affairs at the adult industry group Free Speech Coalition, explains that launching a platform requires establishing a direct relationship with a bank or using a payment processor that accepts adult industry clients. In turn, banks and processing gateways need to comply with rules set by Mastercard and Visa. (American Express doesn’t support digital adult content at all.) “At every point, there’s a potential where someone is not going to want to work with you, because you’re adult content,” says Stabile.

Why don’t financial companies want to work with adult sites?
One of the main reasons is an unusually high risk of disputed charges from customers who make a purchase but deny it out of embarrassment, for instance, and try to get their money back. Another reason would be a ripple effect where financial companies worry about violating Visa and Mastercard’s adult content rules and may act even more conservatively, exceeding the mark of the actual policies.
Anti-porn activists scored a major victory when Visa and Mastercard cut off payments to Pornhub, the site run by adult services juggernaut MindGeek, following a New York Times report pointing to nonconsensual pornography and videos of children on the site. In April, Mastercard introduced new rules for all adult services, requiring them to verify performers’ ages and their consent to have content posted. The rules are set to take effect in October.
Nevertheless, the site was hit with severe backlash – from subscribers, creators, and the media alike – with many pointing out that OnlyFans used sex workers to grow powerful, and then it sold them out. Sex workers claim they had built OnlyFans into a multibillion-dollar subscription platform, and after the news, many have explained why the proposed change was such a betrayal. They helped make the company valuable, and in return, it nearly kicked them out.
We may never know the exact reason why OnlyFans tried to ban explicit adult content on it’s platform, but for sure it drove a lot of attention to the matter. Even Elon Musk used the recent controversy surrounding the website OnlyFans and tweeted “The dark side of OnlyFans” alongside a photo of real table fans. Read more articles here

Kiiroo’s Guide to a Sexy Valentine’s Day: Tips for Every Relationship Status

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and whether single, coupled up, or in a “situationship,” there’s no better excuse to turn up the heat. Kiiroo offers a fresh take on making this day more exciting, from indulgent gifts to playful experiences beyond the traditional dinner-and-roses routine.


1. The Gift of Pleasure

Valentine’s is the perfect time to indulge, whether treating yourself or a partner. Singles can explore self-love with luxury toys like the Keon + FeelStar combo, while couples can spice things up with wearable vibrators such as Spot, allowing for discreet and thrilling moments on date night. Those in undefined relationships can also embrace intimacy with a new ProWand—ideal for solo and partnered play.

2. A Party for One—or More

Who says Valentine’s has to be a quiet, intimate affair? Singles can embrace the holiday by hitting the town, meeting like-minded individuals, or even exploring the thrill of a spontaneous encounter. Meanwhile, couples and open-minded partners might consider adding an extra spark through swinger events or sex parties, where communication and consent are key.

For those preferring a high-energy environment, Spot by Kiiroo offers a hands-free, sound-responsive experience that syncs with the rhythm of a night out. Even at home, AI-generated music from Nova Luxx combined with interactive toys can set the perfect mood.

3. Pushing Boundaries and Exploring Fantasies

Valentine’s is an excellent time to explore new desires, whether solo or with a partner. G-spot vibrators like Pearl3 or the Lumen vibrating butt plug provide thrilling ways to experiment. Long-distance lovers can stay connected through Kiiroo’s interactive toys, allowing intimate play from anywhere in the world.

Couples can start small with a “yes-no-maybe” list to gauge mutual interests, while those feeling bold might explore public play or even invite a third party into their dynamic.

4. The Power of Words

Writing might not seem inherently sexy, but it’s an underrated way to build anticipation. Singles can craft steamy short stories, while couples can exchange handwritten love letters detailing their deepest desires. Even casual flings can benefit from a surprise note left unexpectedly.

Couples can create a “fantasy jar” for a playful twist, pulling random desires for a spicy surprise.

5. The Art of Edging

Enhancing pleasure through edging—delaying climax to intensify release—can be an exciting way to spend the holiday. ProWand and Titan by Kiiroo offer deep vibrations and interactive features that sync with adult content for an immersive experience. Couples can use edging to heighten anticipation and pleasure, whether together or from a distance with the Keon interactive masturbator.

6. Sexting and Digital Foreplay

Building excitement before Valentine’s festivities doesn’t have to be physical. Sexting can create a playful buildup through teasing messages between partners or engaging in flirty conversations via dating apps. Even casual connections can turn steamy with a well-placed “What would you do if I were there right now?”

7. Turning Up the Heat with Games

Games are a perfect way to blend fun and intimacy. Singles can engage in strip poker or interactive toy-based games, while couples might enjoy Twister with a sensual twist or steamy truth-or-dare challenges. Those looking to elevate their role-play fantasies can bring scenarios to life through creative outfits and immersive storytelling.

8. The Slow and Sensual Approach

For those who prefer a low-key yet intimate Valentine’s, relaxation can still be sexy. A candlelit bath, massage with scented oils, and slow, sensual touch can set the mood without elaborate plans. Whether single or partnered, this is a night to prioritize pleasure in every form.

Valentine’s Day is more than just a celebration of romance—it’s about embracing and exploring desires, whether alone or with a partner. Kiiroo’s innovative lineup of interactive toys ensures something for every situation, making February 14th a night to remember.
