Asking for a friend? It’s tough out here. No face shots.

    Ok if for some reason, let’s say I like, went viral for wearing a speedo on a dare, and suddenly the whole internet is like “yo wheres his OF at?”

    Absolutely. It’d be a quick few fucking million dollars.

    But like, as a nearly 40 year old dude who has no general recognition? I would earn $0. There are tons of penises to look at just like mine out there for free.

    Yes, especially with no face shots. That being said, I think it’s brutally competitive these days. You are probably better off checking the beer money reddit sub if you are having trouble making ends meet and can’t find a proper job.

    Only the top percentage make good money. Doubt it will earn more than a minimum wage job unless you do some weird fetish.

    As a cornfed brick-shithouse built Midwestern hairy dude in my late-30s, I’d do it right now if there were a market for chubby hairy dudes but I know better and I’d rather not embarrass myself.

    Selling yourself is not an easy job. If you can, then sure, go for it. But for each person making thousands there are thousands of people making pennies.

    If I knew I was going to make some money? Sure. But I hear it’s super difficult since so many people do the same. But if you think you have a gimmick, or are super attractive, you could make a but of change.

      You really need to put in a lot of effort to market yourself. Being attractive helps, but it’s not all.

          As someone who has never paid for porn, I’m always surprised when I know someone that does. I always thought this was a boomer thing. There’s so many free only fans samples on twitter.
