    I had heard two people from my highschool class (several years after highschool obviously) had started Onlyfans accounts.

    One was a guy, one was a girl.

    I was mostly just curious so I definitely subbed to both for a month. No regrets.

    Always support a friend’s small business I say.

    Went to high school with someone who went into porn a few years after graduating. Just checked her profile on pornhub and it has >500M views, surreal to think about

    A lady I connected with online (not a dating site or similar) asked if I was willing to help with a web site. I said ok and we met up at a nearby late night restaurant. It turned out it was a porn site and she was a porn actress, wanting to have her own site instead of the exploitive one that she was then on. We had a nice conversation about all kinds of things including web development.

    The restaurant was not fancy but she spent a while picking out the cheapest things on the menu. I was the one who suggested the meeting place and I inferred that she was having cash flow problems while I was working as a programmer, so I figured I should pick up the tab when it came. It was just the considerate thing to do. When I picked it up, she freaked out as if I expected something from her because of it. She left the restaurant in a big hurry and I didn’t hear from her after that, oh well.

    She was an interesting person, and attractive, and I didn’t anticipate that reaction at all. I like to think we could have gotten to know each other better if I’d let her pay her own tab. Shrug, whatever.

    My cousin Joseph. In the 80s. Very dramatic, very gay, very attractive. Successful in his field. Especially VHS.

    He got AIDS. Set all the records for living the longest with it. Died around 2002 from liver failure due to the meds.

    Came from a traditional Italian family. His grandmother would frame his (edited) magazine covers. His father didn’t take it as well.

    Yeah, I used to shoot amateur/only fans stuff a few years ago. I’ve seen 3 women and 2 femboys naked so much it stopped being interesting. I’ve never chanced upon porn of someone I knew just like randomly though.

    Just a reminder for everyone reading the comments here. You’re probably imagining everyone way more attractive than they actually were.

          You know, that actually describes it perfectly. Because what most people who others describe as 10’s kind of give me that uncanny valley feel.

          Yeah that’s a way better way of saying it

    Yes, was 19 and frequented a bar underage. Waitress that worked at the bar was late 20’s, and had been flirting for a while. One night convinced her to go out with me and some friends. Night progressed started making out, then she asked how old I was. Told her, and she bailed. Few months later she moved to LA and never saw her again. A few years later I heard she was doing porn. Looked her up, and was not good. Really poor quality hardcore anal porn. Must not have worked out for her because only had like 2 scenes. Both were pretty disturbing, and kinda made me rethink porn in general for a bit. Same girl just kinda dead behind the eyes.

      I think the reason why I don’t have one is because I don’t watch straight porn. And not a lot of it.

      There’s lots of really predatory shit out there, especially predatory for women. Often times they’re drugged. I forget the site name but they produced a video with a girl who turned 18 that day, and drugged her/other girls/women.

    One of my long time friends of 20+ years did a lot of sex work including films and images. I photographed her a million times, sometimes for her site and publicity. Sometimes just her feet. The sex industry is weird but interesting.

    Not in porn, but I saw a girl from my friend circle in high school as a stripper.

    I used to work on the road and as a result our crews spent a lot of time in hotels and bars across the country. One place we were at had a strip club, so after work we had stopped in for a few beer. While we were sitting there, the next show was about to start, a girl rushed by our table and towards the back part of the stage. Something about her seemed familiar but I wasn’t sure why until she started her bit and then it clicked. A few minutes later she recognized me and waved at me from the stage.

    After the show she came over and we talked for awhile and got caught up. She was talking about how a lot of guys used to make fun of how she looked but “look at me now! They wish they could get a piece of me with my new boobs!”

    It was nice to see she was happy. Personally I didn’t think she looked any better with a boob job but that’s just me. The foreman on one of the other crews was in love with her though and collected all of her posters, plastering them all over the work van, so I had to see those bolt ons every time I went to the other mill for the rest of the summer.

    I went in a date with a relatively popular OF model. I didn’t know until she shared it during the date. She was cute but there wasn’t chemistry and chatted as friends for a bit but then she tried to sell me on her OF, at which point I said no thanks.

    A handful of my regular friends do OF on the side.

        Cuz I was stalking my ex’s social (as one does, I am trash and do trashy things). I guess I assumed she thought it was a good idea because I can’t think of another motive for doing it. I did try to reach out and say “hey be more careful” but she doesn’t really listen to other people except sometimes her jailbird of a dad. The sequence of events her posts followed was:

        Normal (average for her) towny drama

        Niche pseudopsychology interest I won’t get into

        Ai images and videos

        Spat with another ex

        Many MANY ai images and videos, mentions of large personal cost sunk into tokens

        Nude images and videos

        She’s chilled a bit lately, mostly posting about the forementioned niche interest but there’s still nudes from time to time. She still lands a date around once a year so I’m kind of hoping she can pull out of the spiral

    Professionally? No. Amateur? On joystick (twitch for horny), bluesky (before that, twitter), telegram, tumblr (before the porn ban), pornhub (before the purge). They are an ex. There are likely a couple more friends and exs doing the same, but I don’t have links to those, just a strong hunch.

    A different ex had a side job as a stripper while going to uni. They were eager to please, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it went beyond just showing off the goods. No records though, of course.

    E: and I’ve been dipping my foot into this sort of thing as well, but not enough to count myself in this list :p

    I popped into a Mexican restaurant for a beer and recognised our waitress from one of those casting sites. She seemed normal. I guess it was a one-off thing and she lived with the assumption that the geo-block for that site would keep locals from seeing it.

    Sort of.

    Playboy did a college football themed feature many years ago that featured women from various schools. I recognized one girl from a sorority at my college.

    There was also a short-lived softcore porn site produced in my city. It featured a handful of women who attended my college when I was there.

    One of my physics lab partners did a nude photo shoot for an art project. That doesn’t really count as porn, though.
