How 13 Parents Handled Finding Out About Their Kid’s OnlyFans Page

Answers sourced from Reddit in 2023.

1. The Quick Acceptance

“My daughter accidentally sent the wrong video to the group chat. I am a bit disappointed, but I thought she was selling drugs or something terrible because she always had money but no job. I hope it doesn’t have any long term consequences for any future careers she might want, but at least she is making money and no longer mooching off me, so that’s a plus.”

2. The Surprisingly Supportive Cousin

“I was catching up with a cousin and he told me he just found out his daughter had an OnlyFans and was working at a strip club. He was very upset… because he said it ruined strip clubs for him and he couldn’t look at the girls the same way and would never enjoy them again. Otherwise he didn’t really care.”

3. The Family Discount Joke… We hope…

“My kid offered a family discount.”

4. The Protective Dad Defender

“Someone leaked a video from a live on Facebook and there were several comments made about how ‘wow, her dad must be proud.’ Eventually someone tagged my dad and he commented saying ‘she’s 23, she’s served our country, she has a career outside of this extra work she does online, and she’s a good person. My daughter is wholly independent and confident, just the way I raised her to be. And let’s face it, some of you do much worse for free.’ Daddio shut everyone the fuck down.”

5. The Denial Mom

“She was very persistent with questions about what I do because she knew I had all this money but from her view, I ‘never did anything’… I finally told her, I sell audio porn… Her response is the same. She pretends we never had the conversation and will frequently bring up the alternative fantasy timeline that she lives in… When I told her about my audio porn, she said ‘I’m so glad you don’t have to work anymore and you can spend your time relaxing and doing hobbies’.”

6. The Fishing Pole Dad

“My dad said ‘I should get 10% since my balls contributed to you’ and also ‘I do need a new fishing pole, in case you wanted to buy me one.’”

7. The Mortified Mother

“A classmate posted my Daughter’s ummm… content on Twitter. I was mortified and absolutely enraged. She was in her first year of college at the time.”

8. The Small Town Fallout

“My now 24 year old daughter decided to get married at 18 and be a stripper… We found out about her OF and other services because she has teenage brothers and parents of friends that frequent those sites and found out. Her brothers have been devastated by the embarrassment of it. While I try to love and support her it has to be from a distance because socially it’s been a very humiliating thing to know that half our county has seen or received services from my daughter.”

9. The Pragmatic Parent

“I found out but wasn’t too worried since she never sticks with anything longer than a month. Sure enough i was right a month later she shut it down.”

10. The Boss’s Open Approach

“My former boss daughter did onlyfan… once it was known at work, he was open about it and even shared the link of her instagram. There was even a rumours that one of the guy we work with was one of the guy she used in a video. I guess he wasn’t happy but since it was out in the open he must have been ‘fuck it, at least she’ll make money.’”

11. The Sex Work Supporter

“My daughter was brought up with the understanding that sex work is work. We’ve always encouraged her to be happy, healthy, and safe. She was pretty upfront with us about setting up her account, and able to share achievements with us like reaching top 2%. We’ve always been supportive, helped her with her taxes, etc. It’s a job that pays a hell of a lot better than most of what’s out there.”

12. The Dad in Denial

“I still had access to her bank account. I saw deposits of a couple hundred a month. I knew she didn’t have a job. When I looked up where the money was coming from it eventually lead to OF. In a way, I was relieved because she had a a scummy BF at the time so it could have been much worse. I unlinked our accounts shortly after.”

13. The Heartbroken But Accepting Mom

Trending

“A mom here…kind of broke my heart that she chose this way to make some extra money. I found out when she got the W-2 form and looked the name up. She says it’s normal and common. Not the way I was raised, but I just told her I want to make sure she’s safe and treating herself with respect. Haven’t even tried to find her posts…wouldn’t even know how to or do it if I did know. She also worked full time at a day care so did this on the side. Just hope it doesn’t affect her negatively (emotionally, professionally, etc.).”
