An OnlyFans star recently revealed that the subscription-based platform was the end of her relationship, but probably not for the reason you may think.
Australian content creator Maddi Miller recently shared why she broke up with her boyfriend in an interview, and it wasn’t because she creates adult content on the platform. It turns out the 20-year-old’s boyfriend had been scrolling through explicit content on OnlyFans, and that he had even subscribed to some of her friend’s content.
Miller revealed in the interview that discovering him scrolling through that content felt like a betrayal and “a huge breach of trust.”
“I wouldn’t be asking his mates for nudes. It’s the same thing. It’s betrayal,” she said. It wasn’t really that the content was explicit. As an adult content creator, Miller is comfortable with porn and partners who watch it. But this particular man seemed to only want to look at women that Miller knew — and without Miller’s awareness of it.
“If my ex had maybe asked to watch some content together, or he had expressed that he was curious, then we could have had a conversation about it. But the fact that he was deliberately looking at porn created by people I knew was not okay.”
It didn’t help that he tried to hide it. Miller added, “I only found out because I saw it on his phone one night over his shoulder. He tried to cover it up, and said his mate sent him a link that he opened it without knowing what it was.”
If that was true, then Miller said she could have let it go as a one-off bad decision. But it turns out that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
She went on: “But once I investigated further, I could see in his emails that he had subscribed to multiple women that I knew. The timestamps on the emails showed that he had been laying in bed next to me while he did it.”
For Miller, who makes nearly $20,000 on the platform monthly, that was a dealbreaker.
But for some women, just using the platform at all is their breaking point. A recent Australian study found that over 60% of women agreed that using OnlyFans is absolutely cheating. 35% of women said that “it depends on the interaction” compared to the 46% of men who said the same.
There are many Reddit forums that are asking similar questions. In one forum, a woman asked if others would consider OnlyFans cheating.
One user wrote: “I had this same problem last week. Found my husband’s OF account. He knew how I felt about it beforehand; there is a plethora of free porn everywhere on the internet. I have no qualms with him looking and downloading for free. Paying for it with a bank account we share, with my hard-earned money in that account, is a big no-no.”
Another suggested: “Cheating is when you cross your partners boundaries in a relationship with regards to certain, usually sexual, acts. Sure there are levels in how serious certain acts are and boundaries also need to be communicated. Porn especially can be a grey area if it’s not communicated clearly where the line is drawn. I would say that buying from onlyfans is porn + an extra emotional component because you’re directly interacting with the seller, it’s also very expensive as porn goes.”
Most other comments in the thread agreed that using OnlyFans was cheating, especially if the couple had already set boundaries around the platform. And at the end of the day, that’s really the question at the center of the OnlyFans cheating conversation. What are you and your partner’s boundaries? If one of you breaks them, then that’s where the line is crossed.
