laidOnlyFans Models Come in All Shapes and Sizes

OnlyFans is a platform that’s technically for almost any type of content, but let’s be real – when people talk about OnlyFans, they’re talking about adult content. From posting feet pics to acting out elaborate sexual fantasies, OnlyFans creators have found a place where they can develop their own unique niches, and find audiences who appreciate them for who they are. This being the case, it should come as no surprise that OnlyFans models are just as diverse as the types of content they post. Sure, most of the top content creators are what you’d expect from webcam models – but not all. And when you explore the models who aren’t necessarily top creators, but are still finding success on the platform, you’ll find a much wider range of shape, size, type of content, and more. Some of them end up on “Best OnlyFans of 2022” lists on sites like Lustfel, while others just focus on growing their loyal fanbases and developing their own brands. Whatever the case, there’s no doubt that OnlyFans models offer a little something for everyone.

How OnlyFans is changing the webcam model landscape

Just like with many sex cam sites, a lot of OnlyFans models join the platform to make a little extra money, and hopefully have some fun doing it. For some, though, the main motivation was actually financial due to being laid off during the pandemic. Either way, some people were surprised when their viewers seemed to appreciate what they considered to be “problem areas”, or less-than-desirable traits.

While they’d been considered only moderately attractive in the real world (or not that attractive at all), on OnlyFans they were celebrated for their physical traits. A guy who started off selling feet pics could quickly graduate to full-on adoration from his fans, whether it was for his thick body hair, or his slightly chunky build.

For many OnlyFans models, the journey starts with simply selling nudes

A popular way to dip your toe in the water is to sell nudes on OnlyFans. You have complete control over what content gets posted, and it’s a fairly effective way to garner support. However, once a fanbase starts growing, viewers start asking for more interaction. Some OnlyFans models started to recognize the names of regular viewers, and realized that everyone who’d had a crush on them since they were 20 was coming out of the woodwork. When this starts happening, the obvious strategy was to capitalize on this ready-made group of fans, and diversify the type of content they were putting out.

In some cases, OnlyFans models realized that they were actually losing money by hanging onto full-time or part-time jobs. Why? Because these jobs were forcing them to turn down more lucrative offers online. Some models had viewers that wanted more personalized interactions, while others realized that the time was ripe to start ramping up their rate of private video production.

What started out as a series of regularly posted nudes could turn into one-on-one interactions, dick ratings, live cam shows, private videos, and everything in between. And the best part? These OnlyFans models aren’t all svelte 20-something women – they also include gay bears, middle-aged butch lesbians, transgender and non-binary individuals, plus-sized models, 50-year-old mothers, and much more.

Why do some OnlyFans models find success, while others don’t?

We could talk about the mysteries of the algorithm, creating content to fit demand, desirable attributes, or even great personalities – but it usually isn’t that simple. For a lot of successful OnlyFans models, their success is due to a perfect storm of factors coming together to bring them the right viewers at the right time.

For one OnlyFans model, his success was partly due to the fact that he already had a podcast with a dedicated fanbase. Even better, his audience was primed and ready to join his OnlyFans efforts – they already knew what they were getting into with the podcast, which happened to be named “The Manwhore Podcast”.

Another OnlyFans model leveraged some skills that she’d previously used in college. She’d offer to sell nudes to guys online for beer money, get the payments, and disappear. This time, however, she was doing it for real – and she was actually pretty successful.

For others, it’s a matter of finding the right niche or fetish. From plus-sized models, to models who offer to humiliate men for money, some people are seemingly able to hit the ground running with ever-growing fanbases.

OnlyFans can help models cultivate self-love

It’s generally assumed that in order to be a webcam model, you usually have to look a certain way. You know – toned, tall, or otherwise conventionally attractive. There are exceptions for certain fetishes, but even then the models have to fit into a pretty narrow category.

With OnlyFans, on the other hand, you can find regular people being celebrated for their bodies – bodies that they didn’t always like, in some cases. Whether their problem area was a squishy midsection, a FUPA, or a double chin, some people decided that they weren’t going to wait until they had the “perfect” body to start modeling on OnlyFans. And guess what? The reaction they got taught them that there was nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, they realized that they could value their own appearance just as much as their enthusiastic viewers did.

The body positivity movement encourages people to feel beautiful as they are, but the truth is that people who don’t meet conventional beauty standards simply don’t get drooled over the way “attractive” people do. But as it turns out, you don’t always need body positivity to admire a more “normal” body type. OnlyFans models have described what they perceive as less-than-desirable features – and then described how their viewers gush over those same features.

The takeaway

So what does all this mean? It would seem that, even though the internet’s insatiable appetite for a certain type of webcam model remains unchecked, there’s also a healthy demand for models who defy beauty stereotypes, and decide to do their own thing as OnlyFans models.
