I’ve never visited OF; only speculated what could be happening on a website like this.
😂😂😂
Lots of lotion.
I’ve never visited OF either; only speculated on the number of people I know that have their own page. 😂
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
nice one
"Just because something isn't criminal, doesn't make it a good idea" I need this on a bumper sticker!
Similar to Judge Lynn Toler's comment : just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should do it
There’s a scripture too: all things are lawful, but not all things are advantageous
Definately needs to be a tshirt.
Hahahaha!
drinking 6 liters of water in less than 2 hours is completely legal
"The members send pictures of their members." I died.
😆😂
His delivery was SO on point for that one too!! 😂 😆 😂
amazing
And rate them on a scale of 1-10. I'm not sure what measurement Dr.Grande was referring to here :-)
That was so funny!🤣 Seriously, who the hell wants to critique that? Just give every 'member' a 10. They'll keep coming back. Can you imagine how they'd feel if the creator rated them a 1? lol. 🤣
Dr. Grande I am actually interested in hearing your thoughts on the psychological effects of pornography. Especially with modern internet pornography, and its effect on young people.
Yes me too, I think it’s been partially the cause of the extreme increase in child pornography, kidnappings and killings. Sorry to piss on your fun folks, but it is a dose of UNwelcome reality.
I totally agree .
Not sure that it is. That's a horrid and extreme fringe activity and there are many millions more users of pornography. If you were right then countries where porn is illegal / banned or have extreme penalties for usage would have much less of a problem and that's the exact opposite of what we find. The difference nowadays is porns ubiquity and social acceptance. I mean I don't think it's a very healthy medium all round for either producers or consumers but it absolutely is the bete noire of USA American conservo- evangelicals as it's something you can point to that appeals to something they consider a sinful vice despite wrecking much of the world with their aggressive violence. So I'm claiming hypocracy here.
I'd say study the history of the industry. I mean porn used to be shown in the US as a fundraiser in colleges and fraternal orders etc.
What you're saying is akin to blaming rape on sex. Again I emphasise I'm not a fan of the fact pron exists but it's far too much of a reach to say that horrible crimes are encouraged by it. And there's little to no evidence.
@@inahandbasket288 Is their an increase in child porn? I don't want to google that sh**!
A former prison guard I know told me porn was show once a week in prison up until the 80s ,they stopped because the men would be so aggressive after wards .

I don’t like when they say it’s empowering to women, look if it’s empowering to you man or woman that’s fine, that’s u personally. I don’t care what strangers do, hope ppl stay safe and do what they want, but it’s not something I would promote to my daughter or anyone in my family.
I would really be afraid it would come back and bite someone in their future. Even imprudent Facebook post about drunken shenanigans have cost some people jobs. There are many jobs where good character and reputation is essential to the employer or the stockholders.
Anything profitable is considered "empowering" and for many women that seems to always involve trading sex for cash. Not sure how exactly that's empowering, but many seem to believe it is and I won't impose my feelings on anyone.
We can at the very least acknowledge that onlyfans provides one of the safest environments for sex workers so there's that, but then again I guess that also encourages even more women to become sex workers. And yes, selling explicit content such nude photos/videos and yourself engaging in sexual acts IS sex work.
I agree. Reducing the stigma around sex work and sex workers doesn't mean promoting it as an empowering way to make a living. It is just work, not a fantasy. And oftentimes the work is dangerous and exploitative, as many other jobs are. Not to mention that porn is also harmful to its consumers. "Empowerment" is just a selling point.
Antonia Stan however it's really not sex work. It's mostly people from middle class backgrounds sitting behind an expensive laptop and LARPing as sex workers with none of the horrific encounters or dangers associated with true sex work, which is no kind of empowering job for anyone. It's soul depleting.
When OF takes 50% of your profits and you still need to put another chunk away for taxes, I would argue that it’s empowering to the states and men behind the code.
Knowing a lot of models on Only Fans in a professional capacity (video editing and so forth) I find a lot of them to be neurotic narcissists. It's a weird tug of war between thinking you're the greatest gift to mankind and constantly feeling like you're worthless.
No offense, but I'm not sure how they can think they are the greatest gift to mankind? I try not to judge, but they are not the world leaders, deep thinkers/intellects, of a society etc.
No one is going to them for advice or leadership and I do not believe they are taken seriously. It's just to view their content and bodies. So I'm not sure what the confusion would be.
Great comment
@@9395gbbecause they are narcissists. It’s called delusions of grandeur
@@9395gbbecause people are paying money just to interact with them.
They’re getting paid to just exist. There’s you’re answer
Does the content have to be explicit? If not, I kinda want to start an only fans where I make videos dressed matronly, telling members I’m proud of them and they are worthy of love. And to eat their vegetables.
No, the content doesn't have to be explicit.
Only fans actually started as a non explicit platform, throughout the years it just became that
Do it that would be awesome lol
That sounds so sweet I would sub
@@crimeslime5419 he will sub to matron
Aw, I love it! I think we would all be surprised how many people crave something like that.
Dr. Grande talking about d*** ratings being unscientific SENT me 😂
☠😂😂😂😂
that bit made me cackle... that dry af Dr. Grande humor hits different ;)
I literally thought the same thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Men...when you say,
oh baby, I love your big big😊brain☹️
I guess d*** measurement inflation is a bigger problem than we thought
I modeled for 7 years. I had a busy schedule. There was a cowboy that frequently showed up at my shows and appearances. He pretended to be with a newspaper and got my schedule info. He started getting behind the stage and then dressing room. He was convinced we had a "connection". Even after i told him I was much younger than thought. It didnt stop him. It got a bit creepy. I dont think its worth putting yourself out like Only fans. Theres plenty of ways to track down where you are located. Its a false sense or security being online.
I have had a crazy amount of people end up with my phone number, and I don’t give it out. People can definitely track you down. Thanks for bringing that up.
Girl how did he even sneak in there?
The world is getting to be a “Black Mirror” episode.
It's halfway there.
I see this joke/reference a lot and never get it. Could you explain please?
@@dnap0lymerase171 there was a sci-fi/horror show on one of the pay channels. They were very much a dystopian view of society overtaken by technology. Great show!
There’s the one with Dallas Bryce Howard that turned into reality in China just about a year ago with the star/point system for people. In that episode, people are assigned points as sort of review on their behavior (like you would an Uber driver) and the lower the points in their personal profile (which is online for all to see the moment they get close to someone or walk into a place) the worse choices they have in life and less places they are allowed in. To the point that they can’t get cars rented, buy houses or go into restaurants and people isolated them. Like credit score, but worse because it includes personality and behavior even if the ‘review’ is one sided.
@@dnap0lymerase171 You're out of touch, but not out of time.
hi Dr. Grande! this comment isn’t related to today’s video, but I started my first psychology class today at college, and during my pretest one of the questions asked “what are the five big factors of personality traits?” i knew right away, because of the acronym OCEAN!! it made me so happy! i’ve learned so much watching your videos over the last few months and I’m so excited to be learning more in school!!
@@mrsmacca126 virtual sadly :( its async so i really rely on resources like dr grande!
@@lis5827 I’ve been using my school papers as an excuse to watch his show more. I’m working on a Master’s in chemical dependency counseling.
My school used to be in person but now it’s online due to Covid-19. Having done it both ways, I’m missing so much of the experience now, especially since the department is the first one I’ve really fit into, in terms of the people. It does depend on the teacher, though. Some can facilitate great discussions and others really check out. Hang in there!
I am a retired clinical.psychology professor...I envy you being NEW to the material. You can end up like me a Lifetime learner of the subject.....I adore my field and it has grown exponentially since my under education.
I'm only a fan of Dr Grande 😍😍😍
never thought i’d see the day where Dr. Grande’s face and the OnlyFans logo are next to each other in a thumbnail 😂😂
It was only a matter of time
He covers it all, that's one of the reasons I love him. I'd never heard of this.
🤣
Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ analysis. This has been an encouraging day in America all around!
He is open to experience and low on neuroticism.
"That is to say the object they are rating is better than it really is, which isn't dangerous in itself, but it is anti-science." LOLL good one Dr. Grande
Same 👏👏
Hilarious 😂

Yeah I don't think the creators are too worried about the integrity of science
just a reminder i'm not diagnosing anyone, only speculating if Dr. Grande has an only fans.
@@imnotpishedhic
LOL 😂🤣😅
I feel like it’s monetizing the objectification of women. It isn’t really progressing anything, i think its encouraging the exact thing feminism is claiming to fight.
And somehow they managed to make it seem like it is feminist.
@@bdaarmy9736This! I literally got called a SWERF, just a bit ago on another video arguing about how OF shouldn't be a thing. (I had to look up what it was, didn't even know it was a thing.)
It feels low vibration to me like porn. I can’t describe it any other way and I accept that not everyone feels this way.
I like how the concern is all directed towards the creators and not the users who are being financially and emotionally exploited.
@@Scorpion122178 I agree!
People NEED to quit this stuff. I'm telling you. It's how narcissism and codependency come together in a sick way. I can go on an on.
You're correct but sadly there will be no end to it.
Yes, people need to go back to posting nudity for free
@@ischray4089 😂 😭
Dr grande did not like this so I know you're wrong
@@ischray4089 that is even more narcissistic than charging for pics
I HATE what social media is doing to women's egos and how competitive it makes the market for men. OF is a huge part of this problem, Tinder, in my opinion, being the primary motivator. Great video, would like to see you expand on this topic some more.
It could certainly destroy a fragile ego.
Ditto!
The thing I have the most problem with is sugardating, because I know there are younger women who are vulnerable and dont understand what they are getting themselves in to. I knew a girl like that in high school. As long as we are upfront about what it is, and what it is not, when ppl are trying to color it as innocent because they dont want the stigma normal sexwork brings, I'm gonna call it out.
If you need to solely use money and rely on it to attract someone, that in itself is a huge red flag in my books. They tend to target the younger women.
I've been approached by sugar daddies. My answer was always "No" It always will be. Some are persistent. They don't want to take no for an answer.
It is what it is. Sex work. Glamorized sex work. Problem is, you can wind up with someone who is very controlling or already married with family. An abuser.
I watched a good documentary on it last year.
Young ladies get into it but they have no idea what they are about to walk into. Too young and naive to see the potential dangers.
Some of them who used to be sugar babies now warn others about this type of lifestyle. They learned the hard way in regards to what it's really about.
Why are women only considered vulnerable in such situations? I understand that the male may typically assume a dominant role in such relationships, however the woman wilfully attracted that man into their life to benefit from this kind of transaction financially. It’s usually an arrangement by which both parties use each other in their respective ways. The element of victimisation can arise from structural circumstances, such as the need for money. Although I personally think it is naive to generalise dynamics across such relationships.
@@markusboyd4834 I would tend to agree with you if we are talking about women over a certain age. I would not call, for instance, a woman over age of 22-23, or whenever our brains are more developed, who enters this type of relation to be victims. My biggest issue is the sleazy way sugardating is sold, such that some younger women gets lured in to something they will forever regret.
@@ronnie5329 Sure. I read recently that the human brain reaches full development at 25 which, at least legally speaking, is distinct to sexual maturity. Without question, there are women (many will be young) who are exploited in such relationships. Dr grande has actually covered this topic once before in which he discusses mental health consequences for the “baby”, so to speak. I think at the end of the day, Young people seeking such relationships should approach them with rationale and respect for the other party, and seek the same qualities in that person being sought. Easier said than doe, however, and I can imagine most arrangements are conducted in an impulsive manner.
@@ronnie5329 do younger women just not have principles and self-respect?
"Republican party, Democratic party and Underwear party" ... I don't think the world truly appreciates the quality of Dr. Grande's shade skills!
Dr. Grande spared no expense in “researching” this topic for his loyal viewers.
I was wondering if this was going to be stuck behind a paywall haha
He needs do more research as a creator lol 😂
My thoughts exactly, LOL. I'm wondering with the dimmed lights, how difficult it was for him to report on his findings in this video....
There is no way sex work is empowering, that is just ridiculous. I can't decide who is taking advantage of who in this situation. Are the members taking advantage of the sex workers/"creators", or the sex workers/"creators" taking advantage of the members?
Esp for only 700 bucks? Is that even minimum wage?
I am always asking who’s taking advantage of who? The man who exploits a woman by paying her for sex or the woman who hustles him out of his money whilst receiving sex for free?
I agree. It sets the stage for somebody terrible nastiness down the road. Both for creators and buyers.
It's a voluntary transaction between consenting adults. There's no "taking advantage of." If it's not appealing to you then you don't have to subscribe.
The members are obviously the ones being taken advantage of. Only women have that power over men.
OnlyFans's main mission is to profit by exploring the loneliness of many men who don't have guts to approach women.
Truly is sad
Exactly!
Yup
OF owner is a man. Men use women to extract resources from other men.
The market speaks, I guess.
Dr.Grande addressing society's latest problems 🔥
What was the problem before this one?
@@alastor8091 'Nudie Magazines'
I think it’s weird how society consumes so much pornography and what not, but harshly judges those who work in it.
Because consumers arent the ones fucking and getting naked on camera.
@@vice2versa If they think it’s so disgusting then why do they watch it?
@@ChantelCarter-cc7cu It IS unnecessary AND harmful but that's not why the general public looks down on it.
And usually it's only the women they criticize, not the men (except maybe for Ron Jeremy). You hear about women being ID'd from porn or OnlyFans and getting fired but never men.
Kari I find that it’s telling on how far society has degraded....I think anyone involved in any of this have lost their moral compass.
The whole thing is really tricky . A lot might say “ porn is free “ but if users are paying for attention and the feeling of being ‘special’ I get it . A lot of the world stereotypes us men that we just want sex . While sex is a factor it’s definitely not the only one.
Take strip clubs for example ; in my opinion you’re paying for the attention , not just to see naked girls. It’s nice having girls come up to you for a change, and want to talk to you, sure it’s fake but it still feels good . Only fans is like an online strip club. The danger occurs when you can’t separate the fantasy from reality .
In the long run it REALLY screws up both parties mentally. But not everybody is lucky enough to find someone to have a healthy, long lasting relationship with , oh well.
One could argue that both parties were already messed up.. 🤔
Bad porn is free, good porn is only free if you know where to get it. There is so much bad porn though its very uninspiring.
@@jellyfishi_ It doesn't work that way. At all. Actual sex is infinitely more exciting than porn.
If porn affects your relationships you have a deeper psychological problem.
And Ted Bundy was being manipulative during that interview, as always. You fell for it.
@@DingDongDaddyFromDumas I don’t doubt Bundy was being manipulative, but manipulation works best when there’s a bit of truth sprinkled in.
@@jellyfishi_ What the hell is Pron? I don't think anyone is watching that. I think most men prefer to watch porn. You enjoy your pron if it makes you happy.
We dont really need to hear about how excited you get to make a doo doo though. TMI

Thank you so much for doing a video on this. I have tried so hard explaining to friends why this isn’t healthy
My life is complete seeing Dr. Grande and the OnlyFans logo together
It's scarey what our children are being taught is normal online , we need to bring back strong family values .
Had Only Fans existed during the Victorian age it'd make a ton of cash.
Teach your children as you wish. It's within your control
2 years later OF is still going strong, sickening, signs of a civilization with no moral compass
All it took for me to drop everything I was doing was to see Dr todd Grande and onlyfans in the same title
🤣
I hope you were not holding your toddler
Thank you for this video Dr. Grande. I am an onlyfans creator and have been on the platform for over 2 years. One thing that worries me is this kind of work being glorified or peddled to young teens. I agree with you that it can still come with some mental health consequences, I see so many young women on social media “excited” to start one who I don’t think are fully emotionally prepared to have strangers see them naked. Just my thoughts.
Yeah it’s incredibly bad for mental health..... especially for young people
I think you’re slightly off with thinking the creator would generally have low neuroticism - as far as the many people I know who’ve started on it and just general knowledge, anecdotal knowledge etc; it seems magnetic for women with very low self esteem, depression, anxiety etc. You’d think it’d be the opposite but a lot of creators I know are as troubled as the members. That’s generalising a lot of course and perhaps only a small aspect of it.
Some of it seems to stem from a desire to feel validated.
Am I pretty?
Do people like me?
Am I desirable?
Am I in control?
Stuff like onlyfans gives the creators a sense of influence because they are the people generating the content themselves so in a sense that may feel empowering for some but not everyone is doing so because they are confident but because they want to FEEL confident.
@@caldw615 No i´ve noticed in my social work with traumatized women, they can´t hold a normal job due to depression, ptsd, anxiety et cetera. This work is more free, because they can work on their good days and will only interact with people online which feels safer to them.
@@jellyfishi_ Agreed 100%
I thought that was an incredibly fair and informative analysis. I know someone with an only fans site and worry for the way it might affect her life now and in the future as she is young and “invincible” and entirely too trusting of online forums and the people who participate.
Dr Grande needs to make an onlyfans where you can talk to him personally and have him psychologically analyze you.
@@matteframe without question
No we want sexy pics too
And my soon to be ex!!!
@@matteframe Ha ha ha, that is funny 🤣
Imagine what it would be like being married or living with Dr Grande.
Not Dr. Grande talking about Onlyfans. Omg I love this man 😂😂😂
Thanks for this important input Dr. Grande. I don't think people like to admit the downsides to sex work- completely removed from a position of morality. There is always going to be a trade-off with all things.
In this case, setting aside morality, I see two things at play. The first is the sex work. The second is validation. Young women who feel stress or otherwise don't feel good about themselves turn to posting nudes to receive praise, failing to perceive other ways in which they're valuable.
@@jbinmd And some of them are only doing it for the money. Don't care about the subscribers, about the morality of it, and think of it as a good paying job. If they're doing it and not making money, then I'd think they had problems.
I really hope sex-work stigmas and communities will change, I always see selfishness, violence, and just all-around negativity whenever I go to just watch porn or something.
It seems like people get so wrapped up in the fantasies that they forget that the people are *real* and have their own lives.
It kind of reminds me of how celebrities are treated almost, no privacy, a sense of entitlement from their fans.
@@benny5020 I don't need any validation outside my circle, don't be patronizing. I do it because it's a great job that I love. People liking sex and depictions of sex are not a problem, it's our nature.
@@clarice3978 This is very true. I wish more people would be willing to acknowledge nuance in both "good" and "bad" aspects of this debate. When we can have a more fleshed out conversation free from bias, maybe then we will find ways not to stigmatize sex and sexuality, while keeping everyone and their mental + sexual health safe.
Appreciate you posting this! I hear people say "Porn isn't bad because it's been around for so long". And that couldn't be further from the truth. Porn addiction is a topic none of the "content creators" want to hear but in reality men ( and women) get addicted and it ruins lives! My mom divorced my dad because he was so addicted to porn. I even remember opening his closest and coming across a VERY LARGE box FULL OF PORN. Dude was hooked and probably still is to this day. And often it starts at a young age. Sex is promoted all over social media and its getting easier to access. Instead of young men going out and socializing with women young men will have full blown (IMAGINARY) Relationships with these E-girls. The girls know it's real but men Know they're paying because they can't get it in real life.
In my opinion, Porn and Virtual Sex makes us so disconnected from reality and human intimacy. It deprives us of natural dopamine release, and makes us addicts. I don't watch pornography or subscribe to any such websites, I figured it was better for my mental health. I don't judge those who do it to make money, but I'd rather pay a musician or watch a documentary. Thank you, Dr. Grande. The pink shirt really suits you. Take care.
Just a reminder, I’m not diagnosing anyone; I’m only speculating about what could be happening in a pornographic platform like this.
😆😆😆

My mornings are never complete without Dr. Grande! I'm loving your new set-up and cute plants 🥰
It’s a Yukka plant I think
Yucca
I used to have an Onlyfans where I’d post skimpy photos of myself along with my smoothies and my diet plan photos like “eat what I eat or drink what I drink and you’ll look sexy like me” you legit have to do or dress how or what your customers want. The more dirty the better and it hurts more than helps because if you don’t do what they say they will unsubscribe the next month. Ex’s or other people that hate you for some reason can stalk you and get ahold of your photos and while it’s illegal to show your photos online without you knowing, 50% of the time you won’t even know it’s happening til it’s too late. Even tho the person gets arrested/sued, by then everyone you know has already seen your photos blackmailed across the galaxy. There’s days when I want to make another one even tho I went through all this not because I totally want to, but because it’s so addicting. It’s addicting to get the attention from more than 40 people a day. My attention seeking is trapping me. I have a boyfriend and he loves me I know he does, but since my self image is so damaged I don’t see or refuse to see that he cares because he’s not 50 people admiring me, he’s just one person and one person is not enough for me. It’s a sad sad life. My mother and father were really fucked up and my father is also in and out of jail to this day. I barely ever speak to my mother I believe she is a covert narcissistic and sociopathic mix. She’s a pathological liar and uses others to her advantage

To any dude considering using OnlyFans, DON'T! Save your damn money and time.
Awww honey you had a favourite didn’t you? It’s ok. We make them all feel special. Until they can’t donate anymore. ❤️
just use a tube site like a thinking person
It's a rip-off. You pay money to subscribe to them and then you often must pay a separate charge to get their actual videos; although their pictures are usually free (but not worth it). This is like having to pay $10 just to enter an adult video store, and then pay a separate fee to buy/rent the video you want. At least on ManyVids, you just pay the cost of the video.
@@jaredjones1752 What people really need is a better use for their time and money.
Read a book, go to the gym, pick up an instrument, start a new hobby, learn a new skill, play video games, ANYTHING.
What if you are practically bed ridden by cancer and your wife is asexual and disinterested. That $10 a month is a lot cheaper than therapy and it might just keep you sane.
You should do mental health videos on historical figures such as Saul, Genghis Khan, or king Leopold. That would be interesting to see.
not even possible lmao. this is like asking for adolf hitler's thought process
Pretty good if they were that motivated.
I'd love to see a breakdown of Terry Davis. He was a successful tech guy until his schizophrenia slowly detatched him from reality and he documented a lot of it online.
Didn't he do Terry Davis already?
If he covers Terry Davis he might as well cover Christian Weston Chandler.

Why would Onlyfans attract narcissistic females?
The issue I see with OF is the supporters that go “Yaas, queen! Slay!” Without realizing the long term effects. Dr. Grande said it best: future employers now go deep into your social media and it can cause one financial problems in the future, especially if they want to earn other forms of income that doesn’t include OF.
I’m all for: “Do whatever you want, but know that for every action, there’s a reaction.” Also, the moment it’s on the internet, it’s there forever. It’s on a server, flash drive, USB, SSD, etc...however, what do I know? I’m just the garbage man.

Can we get Dr. Grande to read the lyrics to WAP now please. I would pay for that.
Hahahahahahahah....thanks emlonewolf
I didn't want to laugh, but couldn't help it.
HAHAHQHAHQHA
oh no not the P word!
Omg same
Dr. G, you're really in the pink today! Lookin' fabulous.
Society is becoming More and More ‚liberated‘. Yes maybe I am old Fashioned but I don’t think you can TRULY love yourself if you do onlyfans
In my case, I am only one of the fans of Dr. Grande.😉
Wow, this video has so much content worth exploring. A lot of concepts in philosophy, sociology and psychology comes to mind....
Thank you for this thought-provoking analysis Dr. Grande!❤️
That’s got to be racist, or classist, or colorist, or priviligist, or something -ist in our new administration.
This was very interesting. I didn't know what OnlyFans was until you explained. It did make me think a bit about whether it's the stigma for the line of work or the work itself that would be more mentally distressing or destructive and I felt that it is the work itself. There are many other jobs that leave the person in a terrible mental state of wellbeing because of the toll the job takes on their mind and emotions.
9:35 "it is anti-science". Was that another super-dry zinger from Dr Grande 😆
There was a recent Law & Order SVU episode of a young woman who "cams" for money to pay her grad school tuition and her father's long-term care. A subscriber who becomes obsessed with her somehow find her private information, tracks her down and attacks her. It's an interesting episode that looks at the dangers to the creators of private, explicit content and the instances where the odd person who subscribes to the content may wind up deluding themselves of a relationship that doesn't exist.
These kind of lunatics existed before such kind of platforms and still exist targeting people outside such platforms. Even though any kind of public exposure probably increases the risk somewhat, from being some sort of web celebrity or even a waitress or something.
Dr. Grande, I am so appreciative of how consistent you are with uploading your content. Thank you for your work!
Imagine asking this question in a non rhetorical way.
Easy test to determine if this is harmful behavior. Would you approve of someone you love doing it?
Good one, and the answer is a resounding NOPE! Thanks for making it REAL.
This is the video everyone was afraid but excited at the same time
@Ernest Samuels Assuming nervous to see what Dr. Grande thinks of you if you are either A: An OnlyFans creator or B: An OnlyFans subscriber 😋
I was 'afraid but excited', and I will tell you all about it on onlyfans 😀
Not at all. Why?
The “Rotten Tomato’s“ rating system came to mind, for some reason...
Go to my onlyfans I’ll be your “girlfriend” for $50 a month.
Thank you for sharing your insights on this topic. As having a family member that’s a content creator, I personally worry for their mental health long term.
I think you absolutely nailed this topic in explaining the controversy surrounding it. I also just enjoy your videos because I feel like I'm opening my mind up to see things in a different view. Your voice is a nice plus to your content as well.
Hi Dr Grande! I would love to hear your thoughts about the idea of "parasocial relationships" between creators and audience, and the associated positives & negatives.
I'd love to hear about that too!
Lets be honest...we are here for dr grande's stand up routine. The mental health knowledge is just a bonus
It's sort of the "chicken or the egg" argument to many people, but to me, it's pretty obvious that being on Onlyfans doesn't cause mental health issues in its self, but many of the people on Onlyfans have BPD and other issues, and have had it for years.
Yes new Russia, and most of them don't have anyone willing to pay their bills and put food in their mouths otherwise.
I don't think it's so obvious, I agree that a lot of people already had mental health issues before joining OnlyFans, but maybe this issues can be significantly increased because of OnlyFans.
What's BPD?
@@josehenriquefs888 but then again there is no correlation between mental health issues increasing over spending time in explicit websites like only fans. It's like there's been studies that suggest that video games and r rated movies don't give violent tendencies among people and those that do have these violent urges have been having them before engaging in these activities.

Onlyfans is just another down grade in society. The internet has caused us to devolve, in my opinion, as far as society's mental state as a whole. I'm not putting anyone down but, stuff like this is not healthy to live in a alternate reality with people judging other people's members. I mean, why? It can't be good.
I think you're incorrect. Consider instead that OnlyFans, and other similar online platforms, may be a manifestation of sociological and behavioral patterns latent in our societies during much of their history.
I must also express that commenting on people's genitals could be a constructive activity, although I'd be quite opposed to rating systems. They seem unreliable.
@@benny5020 I don't like any of it, creep
I said the whole internet, games, sex, all of it, the alternate reality.
@@benny5020 no, I said ANOTHER down grade in society, I meant all of it
@@nico.f. yes I would agree with you on our history, but judging people's genitals, don't get that
Really enjoy your content, Dr. Grande. You offer such a broad array of topics and insights. I'm currently working remotely and whenever I throw a playlist on with your videos, my breathing seems more measured and my focus is definitely grounded. Keep up the great work and stay safe 👍
OMG I didn't know I needed this from you so badly. Hearing you describe everything was just.... *chef's kiss*
I asked and he delivered. You just earned a subscriber. Thank you. I’ll try to watch and engage more.
This video confirmed my thoughts. The comment section makes me glad. There are far more women against the ideal of sex work or objecting women body as liberating.
From my time on CZcams and the people I’ve spoken to in the world. I see tons of people lack reasoning skills. They don’t question information given to them or reflect on themselves. It’s a constant go. Makes me think reasoning beyond the text is something that should be taught in high school or a college requirement.
"The long-standing struggle between the republican, democrat and underwear parties." Dr. Grande, you're a legend!
And a cut immediately after it. Cut out some own laughing?
There was a documentary on this a few months ago and I have to say its really depressing that something like this exists, something that basically exploits everybody involved in it.
@borray s you are right of course, they are all commercial entity's with only one real objective.
“Hi there, I’m a member of the “underwear party” 🙌 sounds like some horrible pickup innuendo 😊
Dr. Grande, when I saw this video I clicked on it right away, but I was so nervous because I am such a content creator, and a fan of your content as well! I didn't want to feel "let down". But I do appreciate your academic approach to the topic, rather than taking the partisan activist stance I have regretfully seen some highly educated people in the mental health field take. As well at analyzing factors that may affect both the seller & buyer. I didn't expect you to depart from your usual style/presentation this time around necessarily, but this can be such a loaded topic for people especially right now. Another great video.
I love your stance on this - a lot of people do condemn people who use or create on onlyfans and You said it beautifully how it can be both harmful and positive. It depends on q situation. To me as I girl who struggled with self image issues due to body shaming and hatered I think oversimulation with sex and sexy content somehow makes people dissociate from how most people are. I see it harmful in that perspective- anywhere you go there is a beautiful abled bodied people. And even if those sites have disabled people or plus sized people - often it is to cater to a particular fetish. But yes the financial freedom, the ability to be safe while empowering yourself sounds great
So glad you're doing this! I'm too embarrassed to ask my daughter about it, and I don't trust Google 🤣🤣
It’s not that hard to learn research skills. This is a boomer phrase
Maybe you should ask her about it.
@@camogrrl Boomer phrase? Ageism on Dr. Grande's channel? Nah.
I have no issue with people choosing to engage in sex work, but I agree with you here. I have several close friends who were or are strippers. They all have been impacted by this line of work-not trusting men, becoming disgusted by men, negative body image, etc.
I don’t know anyone personally that is on Only Fans. I do know from some of the creators I watch that within a years time they’ve gotten more extreme and done things they never thought they would ever do, by their own admission.
It’s a tough subject. It’s been shown time and time again that women in traditional porn are poorly paid and often abused. You say yourself, and I agree, that online sex work is safer than in person sex work. At LEAST with Only Fans these women have control over what they post and get the majority of the money they earn on the site.
Personally, I’ve never even entered a strip club 🤷🏼♀️ call me a prude, it just weirds me out.
Today’s question is: Should Dr. Grande create an Only Fans?
😂
Obviously
Maybe. I doubt having a channel of 660k subs and a PhD are paying the bills lol
Yes
@@nah_. you clearly have no idea how much revenue CZcams ads make content creators.... it’s a shit ton. Especially because he uploads so often and puts 3+ ads in every single video plus his Patreon and podcast... yeah the guy’s making BANK.
Thank you, again, Dr. Grande, for providing all this extensive information in a fair, balanced, well-researched, and thoughtful manner.
Sir, I have neglected to wish you a safe and happy New Year. It seemed like last year had about 6 extra months in it. Also, the new look for this year is very clean and crisp. I always enjoy your content. I learn so much about people and their problems. And, at times I recognize some personal “quirks “ that need adjustment. Thanks for what you do. Peace
At least the models on OnlyFans are in control of what they decide to do, unlike the increasingly aggressive porn that seems to abound. From the recent Girls Do Porn scandal where barely legal girls were tricked into doing exploitative pornography, being slapped and spat at in the face and verbally abused.
"Models"
I think the women on OF can still be manipulated and hurt. Especially with stalkers
I know! Same exact thing with Pornhub. They got caught at the beginning of last year, but the media cared more about COVID :/
I agree, but being better for women than the porn industry isn't really saying much, and it's not where society should be in 2021.
Still have to consent to that. Those girls put themselves in that situation.
Theres this crazy and insane concept called, personal responsibility. Nuts, I know.
Please do Onision. You are the best, Dr. Grande.
Yes! This would be a good episode
He has done him but if you really want to get a deep and accurate analysis on him, go to Live Abuse Free. She's excellent and my second favorite analyst on CZcams, after Dr. Grande, of course.
@@polarbearsrus6980 awesome thanks!
@@ChardeeMacdennis339 She goes much deeper in her analyses. Unfortunately, she doesn't put out as much as Dr. Grande but the actually goes into their psyche... love her analyses of Chris Watts. She actually tells us what he's thinking and why.
Im here for the plants 🤣
I think a nice ceramic pot could work? 🇬🇧
plant*
Where's the cactus, or am l delusional?
@@annfisher3316 exactly what I thought.
@@annfisher3316 maybe he broke it while filming his OF content. Poor plant.
Dude. Your channel kicks ass. You're over half way to a million subscribers. You deseve them and many more.
I always enjoy your insights and your humor! Fantastic sprinkling of humor added, sir!
“Which isn’t dangerous in itself , but is anti-science”. Delivered with Dr. G’s inimitable panache, this made me burst into laughter. I’m getting my “I’m not diagnosing anyone” mug and T-shirt any day now, and I can’t wait to show my merch off! Dr. G is the best 😀
I had to laugh about his idea of the risk of sending underwear. I was thinking about hygiene as he mentioned some legal stuff😄
@@Picca65 Absolutely!
I think it’s the myth of “easy money” - you can say this about anything. CZcams, twitch, bandcamp, anything creative, etc. There is no easy money. Maybe there is, but for how long? The one common thread with all of those things is that the people doing them tend to be incredibly awful business people with no skills. There’s these people, who are unskilled and have zero experience or even an idea of how to run a business, and then there’s Dr. Grande, a mental health professional with education and experience, and I’m sure he’ll tell you it’s still incredibly difficult to get traction or make enough to live off of.
I’m glad someone is having this conversation, young people choosing to become onlyfans creators are definitely swimming in the deep end before they can even splash in the kiddy pool .
Hi Dr. Grande! I have a safe addiction to your show and surprisingly it helps greatly with my anxiety and depression. I recently heard a story about a Vancouver woman, Bethany Storro, who burned herself with acid and blamed a black woman for the “attack.” She claims she suffers from BDD but there’s definitely something else going on and I know you can crack the case Dr. Grande. You’re wonderful sir!!
Dr. Grande, being as thorough and conscientious as he is, no doubt spent long hours researching the many ins and outs of this complex website. Kudos!
