And welcome to the podcast, Valentina. Thanks guys, good to be here. Yay, so excited to chat with you today. I know Joe and I for a while have been trying to find someone in this industry to chat with us about OnlyFans and their experience in the sex industry. So we're really excited to have you on today. Yeah, excited to chat about it. Yeah. Cool. Okay, getting straight into it. The question I have seen pop up the most is how to start. There are so many people so keen to start it. Like that kind of. Yeah, it's crazy. I started in 2000, January, 2020. So it was just at the start of COVID and I knew no one doing it. I didn't even know it was. Like I just feel. So my background is photography and videography and all the shoots got canceled because of COVID. So my partner in time, he wanted to do a course as well, because he was a photographer as well. And he got the idea of doing an online sex education for men. And then he did lingerie photos. I did lingerie photos for him to advertise it. And then we're on camera. And then we did a script. It was like the educational stuff. So he's like, I just want a pretty girl, just stand next to me, you look good, just stand there, it's fine. Then he's like, oh, you may as well just read some of the script. And then he's like, now we have to demonstrate. So I came from an educational background from this. And then it went on YouTube and it kept getting banned because it was too sexual. Then naturally it went to Pornhub and then OnlyFans popped up. And he's like, oh, this is the platform we can use to make money. I was like, oh, okay. So yeah, it was literally, so people helped how to get started. is, I'd really consider it before you just jump into it. Cause a lot of people just like, oh, I need to make extra money. Let's do an OnlyFans. It's an easy option. But it's like, once it's out there, it's out there. You know, you can screen party, people can, you know, screenshot it. Yeah, so. I just realized how bad I still am at this podcasting thing because I didn't even ask for you to tell us a bit about yourself. I think I've read, so I'm like, I know a bit about you but all our listeners wouldn't know a bit about you and as soon as you started talking I was like oh that would have been a good starting question. So my background is, so I come from England and I've been here 10 years and I've always done photography, professional photography and videography. Yeah, so I've done that the whole time and then I've always been pretty... I've always joked about it. Like I've always been like, oh yeah, maybe one day I'll get into shooting porn. Like I've always joked about it. Oh my God. And then like some boyfriends have always said in the past, like, oh God, you'd make a good porn star, just joking. Cause like I've always really enjoyed sex with being sexual, but like, I think it's in the bedroom. I just kind of like let go and just, you know what I mean? Like, so they're always like, oh my God, you make a good porn star. And I was like, oh, and I always joked and laughed and I can't believe I'm actually doing it now. But I love that. Oh my god. So it's like you're calling and I didn't realize that this was this was as a result of covert because you're like top 1500 on porn hub as well. I knew. Yeah. Which yeah, I know. I don't even really go on porn hub anymore. It's more only fans to do. But yeah, so yeah, well, the stuff covered happened like I did wedding photography, all the weddings got rescheduled and stuff. And we get all my other corporate advertising jobs got We scheduled and cancelled so literally we couldn't see any me and my partner at the time. All I work got cancelled So we were like, oh, okay. Well He was always in the sexual like realm anyway, like doing filming like tantric events and stuff so naturally he said let's do a accept such online sex education for men and Then it's funny because at the time just before I met him because I'm a photographer I was in good shape at the time and I was working out consistently and I was like, I really want to do a boardwalk shoot. And then I met him and he was a photographer and he's like, I need a model to practice doing boardwalk shoot. Then he's seen like he did the shoot and he's like, I'm pretty confident in the front of the camera. So then he's like, yeah, we'll do this course. Can you be my model? I just want to take some lingerie photos to advertise the course. I was like, yeah, of course. And then he's like, right, I've got a script. So can you just stand next to me? and then I'll just record the script and you just stand there and look pretty and I was like, you look pretty. And then he's like, well why are you here? You may as well just read some of the scripts. So I'd done acting when I was younger as well so I was like, oh I've practised my acting, okay. So I was practising, you know, I was reading the script and then he's like, right, demonstrate what we've just talked about and I was like, okay. And then our very first video was the top 10 best sex positions or something like that. I did it in lingerie and it went on YouTube We got millions of views, it was really going really well, but we kept getting banned because it was too sexual. So then naturally we went on to Pornhub and then people started making personal requests, you know? And then it just, that's how it happened. So I didn't just wake up one day and go, I'm gonna start OnlyFans, I'm gonna get into porn. It wasn't like that. It literally just progressed naturally from, you know, the content creation of being a photographer, video, and we've been able to create like content ourselves. Like- Amazing. Yeah. And so what do you what do you prefer? Do you prefer like what's the difference between having content on Pornhub versus OnlyFans? Well mine is Pornhub, like I feel like OnlyFans is more personal. Like you get to make a relationship with the you know the people they get to know you. They feel like they're your like online girlfriend maybe. I think it's a lot more personalised, they create personal requests. Like I feel like with Pornhub it's... people just scroll and just see it and watch it and move on. You know, where it was like, they're subscribed to you because they like you as a person that only fans. Yeah. And it's more, I think it's more personal in terms of its daily uploads. Like I will post like, you know, maybe stories on there, daily photos, captions, and to get to know the real, like more about you. Ah, I see. Oh, that's quite cool. Do you post like a bit of your life and stuff as well? Or. When you say they get to know more about you, I'm like, I'm not sure I'd want people to know more about me. But yeah, I might be like, oh, today I went laundry shopping and what you could this outfit, you know, like just like, Oh, yeah, yeah. Or like, um, yeah, just what I'm doing in that moment and post photos and stuff like that. Interesting. Cool. And does it feel like when you're posting this stuff? So I guess it would feel like a safer space, like a safer platform, then Pornhub or something, right? Because I'm like, surely if you don't like someone that's subscribed to you, you can block them. Yeah. Ah, so you kind of have control over who sees your content a little bit as well. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's great. I think we might have chatted about this before, Jo, and how it is actually so cool that OnlyFans is putting that power back in the hands of the creator in a way. I like that it's more personal, that's really cool. One of the questions that we often hear from people when we went out to our audience and we asked them, what do you wanna know, is what kind of content do you have to... create for OnlyFans. I think there's always an ongoing joke about, can I just sell my foot photos? Like you're obviously talking about all these like, you know, going out shopping and talking about your life. Is there one stock standard way to approach it? Or do people do different things? It's not something that I've browsed a lot, so I wouldn't know. I think you'd have better insight than the both of us. Yeah, so many different things as niches, like the reason people just do foot things or like that people post a lot of things that people can full-on post, full-on nudes or not, you don't have to. Like you don't have to do that. On the wall, so leave the wall. How OnlyFans works is you've got your feed and then you have an inbox. So you can be as explicit as you want on the wall, it's up to you, or you can save it for the inbox. Ah, cool, I like it. It's like a sales funnel. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So you've got control, the creators got a lot of control. And talk us through how, and again, another question that comes up is in terms of the promotion of this content. So I think we see a lot of creators on Instagram promoting their OnlyFans channels, but how different ways that you can get people over to that channel. Was PornHub one of the ways that you got people over to be subscribers, or are there other ways about going about it? Yeah, PornHub is definitely one of them for me, because I've got like, I think I've got like 40,000 subscribers, seven million views. So, A lot of people do because I don't post on OnlyFans anymore. I'm sorry, I don't post on PornHub anymore. So I always put the address, like if you wanna see more daily content regularly, then that's when they come across to my OnlyFans. But other than that, for other people who don't wanna be on PornHub, it's like you could do shout for shout out with other creators. So yeah, you like, you know, like a collage and say a bit about you. You can put like a little spiel, like, you know, it might be that they have like a You know, they specialize in or a niche in something that they post daily foot photos or whatever. So people can, you know, go and subscribe. Um, the other way is just collaborations with other content creators. Like you do shoots with them, whatever you want, photos, videos. Nice. Do you, do you think from what you've seen on there, does body size matter? That was another question that came up from our followers. No, not all. Body size. It's got all different shapes and sizes. Yeah. Amazing. Yeah. It should not pull anyone off the body size guys, like, you know, have different tastes or, you know, yeah, everyone's different. Yeah. I get, you know, like bigger girls, some guys like smaller girls. Yeah. It really doesn't matter. Yeah. So cool. And do, do many people close to you know about your career and how does. How do you navigate those conversations? Oh my gosh, accidentally, yes, everyone's found out. Like, you know, when I started it during COVID, I don't know what I was thinking. I thought it was like this little bubble that was in, I was never gonna see anyone again, because he was like, I just like was doing this stuff, I don't, looking back, I don't know, like it just seems so normal to progress, but didn't really think of the concept, and I just thought no one would find out. So what happened is, my Pond Hub- is quite big so I think I unblocked it for a week just to get a few more views. And during that one week all my family found out in England, my hometown found out, people from high school found out, like everyone that I probably knew close found out in that one week. I had both sides of my cousins, like two guys, on different sides of the family, don't speak, don't know each other, literally both texting that week saying, hey, so I've noticed you've gone in a bit of a... different direction these days. And was it easy just to own it? Or I guess when you're talking about, um, male family members, that can be pretty awkward. Oh yeah. It was pretty, I will be even before that I'd gone through a process of. Like a bit of anxiety trying to yeah. Own it one minute. And then I'm like, we track one minute and go, Oh no, what am I doing? Because it was just knowing. It was out there on the worldwide web and I have no control. Like this is not OnlyFans, this is like... and stuff like that and then it gets a screenshot and gets out there. But even with OnlyFans really, you've got to be prepared for it to be screenshot. Yeah. So then you don't even know who is subscribed to your OnlyFans because people don't always, guys, they don't really put a photo so you don't actually know who it is. And that's like UE54351, you don't even know who it is. So you don't know. And I've had people message me like who know me but won't tell me who they are. That's a bit, you know, it can be a bit weird sometimes. Um, yeah, it was like, um, that was like, remember there was that, uh, God, what was it? The data got stolen from a, it was either like a sugar daddy website or it was, um, it was some kind of website and all these people had signed up with like their work email addresses, like government email addresses. Yeah. What was it? It wasn't a dating one. I'm sure it was like, do you remember that? I do remember that. Yeah. So people aren't like, surely, I mean, some would, but people are a little bit smarter now, I feel, than to sign up with their like, you know, work email address. I'm not sure if everyone is smart enough. No, not everyone, not everyone, but you know, it's not that hard. No, you would hope that would cross their mind, yeah. Well, like, way before that, though, I'd always like, you know, I went through a stage of, everyone's gonna judge, no matter what you do, I could be the pope. people would judge, you only live life once, like it's a very short life, I don't care, as long as you're having fun and you're enjoying it, I don't care. Yeah. And I think the irony in that as well is that, the people obviously who found out during that week, I don't understand how they can, I mean, I guess that's society's fault, not theirs, but also theirs, that there's, you know, they perhaps associate that with shame or whatever, or that like, that's not a great thing to do when really they're the ones consuming the content, so I don't see how that isn't. You know, it's ironic, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. They're shaming you for doing it, but yeah, they're consuming it. So I'm like, well, I'm getting paid to do it. So, and you'll pay for it. So. Yeah. If you were gonna go, if you were gonna go and start your, like, your porn or your OnlyFans career again, was there anything that you would do differently or anything that for those who are perhaps considering going down this career path, what they should be mindful of? Yes, I would say start slow. I feel like I got thrown into the deep end real quick, like with just full on quite full on things that have been, since that have been, I did go that way and then I was like, whoa, I'm gonna put it back. But a lot of my fans have seen, you know, I've seen more like stuff. So yeah, I would say start slow, do what you're comfortable with and have it out there. Don't feel pressured to do things that you don't because once it's out there, it's out there. You know, you can't. Yeah. Really, you can take it down on OnlyFans and stuff like that, but you never know who's screen shot it or who's got it. And also a massive thing I would say is for girls and people who want, mainly girls, is prepare for the judgment as well and the mental health issue. Like you've got to be really pretty strong, you know? Yeah, hopefully there comes a time where, like with female pleasure, the shame is kind of taken away. from it as well, but surely the world's changing in the right direction. Yeah, completely. I did it as well because I feel like I don't look like people have a stereotypical, what they call your porn star to look like or to be like, and I'm not. So I kind of wanted to do it to break that persona or something as well. You know, like anyone can do it. You don't have to look or act like a certain way. And I wanted to do it for like, like feeling empowered as well. Why should it be a shame? Everyone has sex, why not? If you enjoy it, why not make a living from it? And how about the perception, like you mentioned, what is the difference in the perception between you mentioned your experience and say, was it your ex-boyfriend who you were doing the scenes with? What was the perception, the difference in perception between him being a porn star and you being a porn star as a woman? Was it more accepted? Yeah. Yeah, well he called himself a sex coach. He was like, you're the porn star and I'm the sex coach. Um... LAUGHS Wow! LAUGHS Oh, yeah. Wow. I think it was more accepted for him, I reckon. Yeah, for guys, he's probably more not as a big a deal. Yeah, like what about when his family, obviously his family knows, like, oh yeah, his family and his community and stuff like what was the response? I don't think they're really surprised really. What? Yeah. I don't know. I think, yeah, I think that response would be different for a guy. Yeah. Hugely. Yeah. Which I think speaks volumes. Yeah. Have you found it hard to date since that being in this industry? Luckily so. So, okay. So when I was with my ex, we, um, we still kind of did content together afterwards. We weren't together, but we did content professional, you know, just go in and you just, yeah, we just did content. And then I did meet someone after that. But, um, and he, he knew what I did from the start. So that's ideal. Oh yeah. So that was good. That, um, yeah, but I think, um, I think I actually did meet someone just before that too, briefly and yeah, if it was great and stuff, then he found out, well, tried to tell him, started to tell him what I do. he's like oh you're new today? I was like oh I've just been doing some content today. He's like what kind of content? And I was like oh trying to like feel him out first. Like I was just doing lingerie photos. I was like where did they go? I was like oh I'm not OnlyFans and he's like okay so who sees them? I was like my subscribers. He's like talk to them. I'm like yeah and he's like right well where's the line? When does that become cheating? And I'm like oh you like They just try and I'm just telling them a content. Like it's a mass message to all the guys. I don't even know what they look like or where they're from. It's not cheating. Like, and he said, I'm not open to speak any further about this. So I was like, okay, best not go any further. Like, yeah. Wow. I did try and then my boyfriend now he, he knew fully what I did, but yeah, it can be challenging. I think for him sometimes, cause he thinks that, you know. guys, it's all online though. It's never like, you know, it's never face to face. It's, I don't want to say these guys just want content, you know? Like message me, can you send me video 55 or can you do this request? It's not really like, yeah. I think we get desensitized to a lot of things that come through, like on confessions and everything like that. And I guess for you, it comes a stage pretty quickly that you just kind of. Become desensitized. Oh yeah. And so we have a couple more questions that have come through from the audience. And I mean, some of them have themes as what we've already talked about, but there are a couple of new ones here. So how about do you need to be advertising it on your socials to make it big? Or can you keep it quiet? So I guess this relates to if someone was starting brand new afresh, like how would they go about doing those collabs with other people? Or how would they go about doing the shout outs? Like, is it like? you know, like businesses and influencers on Instagram where you can pay people for these shout outs or You know, we would someone look if they were just very beginning and maybe they didn't want to put it on the Instagram bio Yeah, I think you could get on only fans. Yeah, you can do it. Yeah people do pay promotions in the platform of only friends So you don't have to go on your social media You can do yeah shout out if you telegram that's not really a social media app. So it's yeah, so that's fine Reddit and Twitter are probably, we don't want it on that. Um, yeah. And collaborations I'd say. Cool. Um, and another question by a lot of people actually is, is it taxed? Yes. Yeah. So it's just like any work. Yeah. Yep. So only fans as well take 20%. Okay. Yeah. So they take 20% and then yeah, everyone's taxed. And then text on top of it. Wow. Oh my gosh. Only fans is making a killing. Yeah. And you get to choose how much people pay to subscribe and stuff, don't you? Yeah. It's all in the creators. Yeah. And right between the lowest is like $4.99 to like $50. So you can charge whatever you want between that. But you can have a free account and you can just do PPV pay per view. Ah, okay. But you're free, your wall's free, so you post photos for free, like people can see, but then you charge for your videos on the wall. Ah. Yeah. Ah, okay. And is it possible to keep your identity secret while you're on OnlyFans? I guess this comes back to the question around... You know your different niches are there people on there who never show their face or is that something like you say? It's a real personal platform. So is that something that people are looking for? I Think he yeah, I'd say but you definitely can keep your identity a secret. I know people who have yeah And so they just don't post their face or ah Yeah, ah, that's interesting. That's why I intended to do the beginning Well, then I went all out because I think someone said all your face is like one of the best parts So I ended up, oh my God, yeah, I ended up doing him. Yeah, it was in the middle of the video, I was shooting like a video, and I was like, don't get my face, don't get my face. And then like, yeah, I didn't get my face, and it was just out there, so. Yeah, ideally that's why I did it. Okay. I love it. And how about, what do you do when someone you know personally subscribes? Oh yeah, so my very first boyfriend, when I was like 19, his older brother subscribes to my only fans. So yeah, I just kind of like, well, they're here for a reason, they're here, you know, I get a bit like, oh God, but then I'm like, well, you know what? They're here, they know what I do, and just treat them like anyone else, any of the other subscribers. Yeah. Yeah, that's why, and they're paying, you know, so I can't, you know, but yeah, like, or it was someone really close and I felt. uncomfortable. Like I didn't feel like it was just a, I don't know, my friend's boyfriend or something like that. No, that's not happened, but I probably would block them out of respect for. Yeah. I think, yeah, there might be a line too, hey, where it affects, um, I guess something you're about to post, you know, you wouldn't want somebody, you wouldn't want to not post something just because, oh, that's right. This person's on there, can't post that or something. So I guess there's There's a bit of a line somewhere for people. Yeah. It depends on the person, but yeah, you can, um, definitely block. Yeah, you can block people. So you've got a bit of control who, um, I've had people kind of weird, like it got to a point where people were recognized, recognizing me a lot, um, out in public and I went to a, was in a cafe and I went to the toilet and I got, she chased me and was like, well, I'm Tina. And I was like, yeah, I'm on your only phones. And he said he's username and I was like, Oh, no, him. I was like, Hi. And he's like, Yeah. And he's like, Oh, you know, I want to pay for the real thing. And I was like, I really need to pee. I just ran in the toilet. Yeah. Oh my gosh. That was a bit weird. Bit weird. Just a little. Yeah. Have you had any have you had any other experiences like that have kind of make you made you freak out a little bit that's definitely crossing the line of it, I guess. But they might not know that. Yeah, I feel like some people do pretend they don't, well I've had this experience where some people meet you and you don't really know who you are. The more comfortable the more drunk they get they're like I've had people admit oh yeah I've been a big fan of yours for a year, I've been your only fan for like a year and I'm like wow and I had this is when I realized like wow this is when I thought this was just like still kind of coming out of Covid, I didn't think no one knew and I had this actor my friend was friends with this big actor, a big Australian actor And when I first met him, obviously, I've not seen any of his work, he's been in big, big films. So obviously here's me meeting him, like, you know, like not knowing who he was, knowing, kind of knowing who he was. And he pretended he obviously didn't know me. I didn't think he did. And I was like, oh, so nice to meet you. And then, like, we're seeing him like three times. And the third time, at the end of the night, he got quite drunk. And he's like, I've got a confession to make. I was like, what? I've seen all your work and I'm a big fan. And I was like... Where did you see it? I didn't see it. He's like, do people recognize you in the street? And I'm like, no. At the time he didn't. I was like, no. You're the actor. Do people recognize you in the street? Oh gosh. But then he got really cautious of like, we were walking on the street together and then like, he was like, people might see us together and he goes, you do that work and they might assume I'm, yeah. So it was like- Oh, so, oh, that's hard, isn't it? Yeah. Also actually I find as well, I've experienced the feeling of people being a bit, um, cautious sometimes about being associated with you because you do what you do and they don't want to get the reputation, you know, that's not, yeah. I started, it used to bother me. It used to, it happened that much, but now I'm just like, oh, well, you know. Like they're not worth it obviously, but. Yeah. Wow. And it's funny because I feel like people who have known the longest before I did all this, judged me the most. Oh, wow. That this is not you. This is not you. This is, you know, I've known you all your life and you're not like this. And I'm like, you're still the same person. And then just because like you can be who you want in any moment, can't you? You can be different. You can. People change people. I'm still the same person at the core. But whatever job I do, money's not gonna make me different. And you said, like from our conversation today, you sound like you've done a lot of work. You sound like you've had to go through quite the journey of being really true to yourself and having, there's almost these like mental tools to make sure that you, you know, almost, God, what's the word I'm looking for? Like further makes you feel like, you know, you're doing. the right thing or like you say, you know, like it's on the internet now, there's nothing you can do about it. So the way that you like process that, have there been any like specific tools that you've used or anything that you've read? Or has it all just come from within? And just been a process for you? I get so excited to talk about this because I've been through the whole process that it's, I think really exciting to talk about because it has been a massive journey. So yeah, I read this a lot of not giving a fuck that before I think it was just before I got into it as well. and then I think, oh, was it just when I was in it? Yeah, that actually helped. But the things I've been through in my life, from being young, my resilience has really built up. I lost my dad when I was seven, and then four years ago I lost my sister, and it was just thinking, life's just two shots of give fucks, really. Just do what you wanna do. Because everyone's not even, you know when you think about it, people are not even bothered what you do. People are too bothered about their own. life and they've got their own issues but you're thinking oh my god what are they gonna think what i'm doing but really it might be a passing thought and then it's gone so you're like going all right or do it because what people think but you can't please everyone anyway yeah i love it oh i've been obviously to my head i mean i feel like i'm finally just like let go of all that battle and be like it is what it is i do what i do i like it you know it's What's the word? It's um... Empowering. Yeah, it's, you know, empowering. And I think of the why I do it. It's a lot of people comment on my work or my videos and say it's real. It's like real, it's authentic. And that's what I would like to do is like change the game of the sexual content of being real. It's not storylines. It's literally me when I do my content. It's real. It's literally like let's do a scene and it's real. It's not like... Yeah, I don't know. It's nothing wrong with the storyline, it's just me. I prefer it's like surreal, raw, you know. You even got the pizza delivery man turning up or anything like that. I'm like, yeah. And surely that's the way. I don't know. Surely that's the way the world's going, right? That porn needs to be more real. Like, um, that was, that gave it everybody a very. bad start to their sex life, I feel. Watching old school porn that just isn't anything like real life. Yeah, because it just makes guys well, like, you know, not like guys consume a lot of it. They have this, you know, expectations of what sex is, but, you know, it should be crazy sex, like really, you know, overstimulation. But really, I really like to. Like actually, you know, do really like slow and sensual videos too, because I think people need to even especially like younger guys coming in who have only watched porn. I feel like they need to be educated on how to really turn a woman on and foreplay, you know, foreplay, you know, how to have foreplay. Like, yeah, body takes like 45 minutes to actually warm up. I feel like. They need to be like educated and see the other side of this, you know, that's what I mean. Amen. Yep. Couldn't have said it better. Yeah, I think you need a why. You do need a why. And I think that's what I do. That's what I like to do is like with the education stuff as well. And the why is just like, yeah, trying to change the, the game of pawn, like the, yeah, just real. Amazing. That's awesome. That's so great. And I just have one more question here on my list. And someone is asked, is it hard making sure your content is not stolen or reposted anywhere? Yeah, yeah, it is. But you can, you know, there's people that you can pay to take it down now. Ah, well, like hackers. Like, well, they have to like, program that can like, yeah, take it down. I know someone who, who does it. If anyone's like interested about if they working, you know, um, email under the, uh, website. Yeah. So it's pretty, um, it can get out there. Yeah. Wow. Well, that's good. If there's ways to get it taken down. Yeah, that's cool. Well, um, I guess it's just like, it can always, you never know who's got a copy or you never know where it can end up. Yeah. And I think, like you said, if you go into it, just knowing that it can go anywhere, then you can't have any expectations really, hey, when, if you, if you find out that it's long gone. Yeah. I just think you've got to be prepared. Yeah. Because you just never know. Yeah. What? Where it came up. What? Yeah, I'm okay. I'm like, I've got pretty much this journey of like not being okay and then I'm okay. And then. People will say they see me on this and I'm just like, oh, good for you. Like, oh, people message me, like, screenshot my own stuff and send it to me. Like, yeah, I know. I took the photo. Yeah. That's so funny. We'll try, some people will try and shame me for it as well, jealousy. People like, oh God, shame me for it if you don't wanna, I had a guy who, before I met my boyfriend now, like, wanted to make content with me and I wouldn't. I'm very, that's the thing as well. I'm very, I only make content with people who I'd have actually have sex in real life. I don't just have sex with people just for content. I just, cause it's gotta be real. It's gotta be, you know what I mean? It's gotta be a connection for me. Yeah. I love that. Amazing. I feel like jealousy must have something to do with like old friends and stuff like that too, right? Like it, it wouldn't. it wouldn't just be the industry you're in. I'd say a lot of it would be jealousy as well. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I've had friends say, oh my God. Oh, actually advice, advice for people just for having advice. If you don't want to be seen, I come up with a stage name maybe as well. You know, like, so you don't have to use your name. So in the future, when you get Googled or whatever, you know, you've got a stage name. So you can leave at one point. Yeah. And have less chances. Yeah, that's really good, yeah. Yeah, so I'll do that. But the thing with friends, old friends, I've had people, friends comment like, you need to go and see a psychologist, you know, this, you know, trying to say there's something wrong with me. But no, this is my decision, I'm happy, it's fun. Like. You live in your life, you're just living your life. Exactly, and the thing is, if you didn't wanna do it tomorrow, you don't have to. You can just stop. Yeah. Yeah, it is your choice and go you. And it's freedom to, you know, only friends does offer like, you know, freedom of your lifestyle and you it's good. It's really fun that you can, you know, pay for hotels and like do, do scenes and you know, claiming and stuff. Yeah. That is so true. Oh my gosh. Perks of the job. Um, and so where can people find you if they want to find out more about what you do, maybe ask you questions. Uh, what are your social channels and perhaps even your OnlyFans? Okay. Yeah. So. My Instagram is miss.valentinarose and yeah, you can contact me there. Did you want my OnlyFans link? Oh, it depends. Wherever you want to send people to. OK, yeah, you can just do Instagram. Yeah. Amazing. Perfect. Well, thank you so much for coming on the podcast today. I know our followers and our listeners will get a lot out of that. So excited to see how this one goes. But honestly, the key takeaway is, yeah, like, honestly, Start slow and be comfortable with what you're doing. Don't just do it for the sake of it. And I would say, yeah, stage name. So you can probably protect yourself in the future. And yeah, really be prepared for like judgment and stuff and mental health. Like you've got to look after yourself mentally, I think. Go and get the saddle out of not giving a fuck book. Yeah. That's great advice. But yeah, I just thought, you know, it's just. Yeah, you live life once, like it's too short for not to do what you want to do and have regrets in life. How cool is the story? Like, oh, you're 85, you know, old lady's home. Oh, yeah, when I was younger, I was a porn star. I love it. How cool? I think it's so cool. That would be a great story for your grandkids. It's so great. And I think I just like to see how happy you are and you've obviously been on that journey and figured it out for yourself. And I think that that's the main thing, right? I think not a lot of people can say that they love what they do. So if you found it in Only Fan and Porn then all the better, all power to you. Yeah, you know, sometimes you feel like, you know, if you're with so many, sometimes you can get in the little thing of comparing like, oh, they've got a proper job. I do want to have sex with people who actually, like partners, like literally I want to make contact with my partner, really. Like partners, like my ex partner, um, made other contact with other people, like, you know, the girls and when I was with my ex, like, you know, like one or maybe one or two other guys, but yeah. Yeah. Amazing. Yeah. And it's so, it's so good that this platform, I think, has allowed the creators that freedom to do it, how they want to do it, to get paid, what they want to get paid. to have that freedom. Lost my word. Just the control, I think, over blocking people and stuff like that as well. Yeah, as well because I come from a photography background so I'm able to do, I know how photography and videography, I know about that. And luckily my partner, my new partner as well, he's a photographer and videographer as well. So he does all that fun. So he's happy to get involved in that way as well and support me with doing my comp. That's so cool. Yeah. Amazing. Yeah. Well, thank you so much, Valentina. That was okay. Thank you, friends.
