OnlyFans Creators Bare All

Evan Lamicella, the twenty-seven-year-old son of a Vietnamese war refugee, calls himself “your fav Wasian.” He believes that there aren’t enough Asian male sex symbols in pop culture and sees his OnlyFans work as part of the change. Evan, who lives near Seattle, wants to pursue acting. “My manager said Hollywood’s pretty accepting,” he says. “But obviously I can’t be a Disney star.”

Allie Oops, an L.A.-based creator and adult-film producer, was a marketing consultant for A24 on “Red Rocket,” directed by Sean Baker. She has also worked as an intimacy coördinator, including on ads for the dating app Bumble. At nearly six feet four inches, she attracts subscribers with a giantess fetish. “One guy said he wanted to be shrunk and get stuck in my bra,” she says. She has videos for such scenarios: “I put a glass to the camera and say, ‘Drink my potion.’ ”

Jasmine Sherni, a former I.C.U. nurse from Louisiana, joined the site after leaving a controlling relationship. “I finally had rights over my body and my pleasure,” she says. “I wanted to explore that.” She frequently does “collabs” with other female content creators. “OnlyFans has been a journey of realizing that I get to be all parts of myself—bisexual, South Asian, femme, into kink,” she says.

Andre, left, and Sean, brothers from the Bay Area who run a joint account called the King Twins, frequently reject requests to perform sex scenes together. “First of all, we’re straight,” Sean says. “Well, actually, first of all, we’re related.” The brothers, who had a small general-contracting business, now do OnlyFans full time. Andre also just launched his first single on Spotify. “I was, like, Shoot, if I’m comfortable showing myself naked, I could be comfortable singing and playing guitar,” he says. “Songwriting is very vulnerable.”

“We were joking that, with content-creator relationships, first base is like having sex raw on camera, and then second base is like ‘How was your day?’ ”—Elle

Elle, right, a contortionist from Brooklyn who calls herself Knotty Natasha, appeared in Amazon’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” “You know when Donald Glover finds cannibal porn on the computer?” she says. “That’s me. I’m trussed up on a table like a turkey.” Her partner and collaborator Bruce, who performs anonymously, used to work in a mental-health facility. “I go by Bruce Wang on OnlyFans. I loved Batman as a kid,” he says. “Now I’m able to pay my bills and student loans, and still have money for myself.”

“When I told my mom, she was, like, ‘Yes, the most important thing in the world is money. Stop caring about what everyone says. It doesn’t matter. We are all gonna die, so just go for it.’ ”—Anna

Anna Malygon is a twenty-three-year-old model and fashion influencer from Kharkiv, Ukraine. Her OnlyFans feed includes nude pictures of her with strategically placed seashell emojis and the like. ($9.69 “unlocked” one post.) Now based in L.A., she often travels back home to record footage of the war. This initially drew criticism from some Ukrainians: “They say, ‘This girl is promoting her OnlyFans,’ but that money pays for donations.” Anna has supplied the Ukrainian military with surveillance drones.

Michele Chesnut, a cowboy-boot-loving grandmother in Alabama, goes by redneckbaddie4u on OnlyFans. “One fan wanted me to put on something sexy and chop up wood with a chainsaw,” she says. “Nothing else!” Her fiancé, Bobo, who starred in the reality show “Redneck Island,” is supportive but complains that she only leaves the house to go to Walmart. “There’s a guy that works there,” she says. “He was, like, ‘Oh, my gosh, me and my wife love you. I gotta get a picture.’ ”
