Abstract
OnlyFans, a content creation platform where creators can perform sex work, has been making headlines since its internet debut. Its relationship to youth culture is complicated as it’s still developing. “Growing Pains on OnlyFans: A Coming of Age Story” looks into the life of a young woman who went viral for criticizing the glamorization of OnlyFans, and how the platform shaped her self discovery. This story analyzes the life cycle of entering digital sex work as a teenager, and exiting as an adult.
