Some adult OnlyFans creators target niche audiences to boost their success, but this targeting can cause those audiences to feel a manufactured and often misleading sense of connection.
OnlyFans is a platform known for its creator/audience relationships. Its model allows consumers to message creators and pay for exclusive content. The idea of intimacy is a factor that drives people to watch and chat with adult content creators. “People want to be seen and understood. It’s no surprise that those feelings of loneliness are what often bring people to pornography.”Drug, F. T. N. (2024, October 2). OnlyFans “Chatter” deception.

Unfortunately, this manufactured intimacy can normalize parasocial relationships.
Parasocial relationships
Parasocial relationships are one-sided, with a consumer feeling deeply connected to a celebrity or content creator. People may feel a strong sense of intimacy. However, those feelings are not reciprocated. It is a psychological bond that is not based on reality. Viewing pornography and chatting with creators can create this type of connection: a partial relationship. Niche categories further drive this idea of exclusivity – of intimacy.
In a guest article by Dr. Angie Henderson, who would interview men arrested for buying sex, she says, “Regardless of how soon we get there, we hear over and over one word: loneliness.”Peterson, J. (2025, February 28). OnlyFans star, 36, tours nursing homes to find elderly men to appear in her X-rated videos.

We all crave deep relationships because we are human. But watching porn is not going to give you what you crave. In fact, “Those who viewed pornography were more likely to experience loneliness, and those who were experiencing loneliness were more likely to view pornography.”https://fightthenewdrug.org/study-reveals-how-porn-fuels-cycles-of-loneliness-in-consumers/ Copy
Indulging in niche porn and chatting with OnlyFans creators is not going to cure your loneliness. If anything, it is a band-aid slapped onto a gunshot wound, trying to heal a much bigger problem.
Standing up for true intimacy
Real relationships are worth fighting for. You might see a phrase around Fight The New Drug: “Reject all counterfeits.” We say this because we believe authentic human connection is more significant than any manufactured relationship. We believe in fighting for genuine intimacy; in struggling for real love.
“Porn can’t fight for you, it can’t look after you, and it won’t make you appreciate the little things in life.”https://fightthenewdrug.org/why-love-is-better-than-porn/ Copy Porn leaves you feeling ashamed. It tells you that temporary pleasure is more important than those around you. What porn has to offer is a fake, cheap love at best. “On the flip side, love offers companionship, friendship, and a close bond that no porn can rival.”https://fightthenewdrug.org/why-love-is-better-than-porn/ Copy This companionship pushes you to be a better person, to be healthy. Pornography is a disease, slowly sapping away your strength.
Take a stand today to reject all counterfeits. Push away misleading and manufactured parasocial relationships. Choose the real thing.
Choose love, not porn.
