There's a lot of pressure on OnlyFans creators sometimes.
You see other creators being extremely successful, and maybe you're not quite there yet, or you're just not having the best time.
That can be tough, but you need to remember that all content creators on OnlyFans go through rough patches, weird moments, and sometimes even embarrassing issues. And that's OK!
You need a support network and one of the best places to find that is over on Reddit at r/onlyfansadvice. Creators use that subreddit to share all kinds of questions and stories, including some that are odd, a little embarrassing, and even outright funny.
Here are some of the best, to help show you that creators are all in the same boat and that there is always someone with a funnier or more embarrassing tale to tell!

1. For Your Own Enjoyment
It can be really frustrating when you're dealing with a fan or a subscriber who thinks they are doing you a favor by supporting you, and even as this exchange shows, that you're in it because you need their company and their sexiness, rather than the other way around.
Thankfully this creator nipped it in the bud and made sure the fan knew that they weren't interested in receiving sexts ‘for their own enjoyment'. It's really important to keep those boundaries in place and make sure your fans know that you are a business, you are professional, and that you expect to be paid for any interactions like this.
Don't be afraid to put your fans in their place if they overstep.
2. Air Got In Places
Our bodies can be weird sometimes, and they can betray us at really inopportune moments, such as when you're on a live show with your fans. This creator suffered an ‘air-related incident' which caused quite a loud noise, but did the best thing they could and just carried on through it.
Here's the thing – those kinds of noises can happen during regular sex, so for it to happen to a creator during a sex show isn't anything too weird. If the viewers even noticed it, I'm sure some found it a bit funny but also a bit endearing. Some might've been put off, but screw them – those aren't the kind of people who will become long-term subscribers anyway.
3. Don't Be Afraid To Joke
A lot of content creators will set themselves up to offer specific dom/sub content, but many won't. You need to find your own niche, and for a lot of people that won't be domination in any way. So when you then have a sub or a fan asking questions like this out of the blue, the professional way to handle them is to advise that it's not a service you offer and to look elsewhere for that.
Or, you can have some fun with it, as this creator did. Understand that there's a 50/50 chance the customer will either find it funny or get angry with you, but as long as you don't mind either way, then you can still handle it.
Don't be afraid to snap back a little if someone crosses a boundary, though if they go too far, it's best to block and report.
4. Honesty Is The Best Policy (Sometimes)!
While a lot of people want to stay ‘in character' in their sexy talk throughout all of their interactions with fans, others take a more honest approach – and that can lead to funny little exchanges like this one.
Honestly, it's not always a bad idea, because the more human you can appear with your fans, the more they're going to build up a ‘relationship' with you and become long-time subscribers.
There's a limit – you still want to be sexy for them, and you don't want to let them down, but you can have some fun in your interactions.
5. Some People Don't Get The Message
Another example of what can happen on OnlyFans when your fans get in touch, this shows that some of them will refuse to read your bio and will happily cross any lines.
It's a weird interaction because you have clearly spelled out what is and isn't acceptable, and yet there they are, asking questions that you don't want them to.
It's best with these types of fans to just be blunt, block and ignore them. You're never going to get a good rapport with them so why waste your energy?
6. OK, Maybe Honesty Isn't The Best Policy
Remember how we said that there are lines that shouldn't be crossed in honesty? That goes both ways, not just for you being honest with your fans but also for their bluntness with you.
How would you handle this? It's a fan that most people will struggle to build a good conversation with but maybe you could just leave it for a while and try to spark up the conversation again later, in a bid to keep them interested and paying.
It's not even like he had to reply to that. His reply was 50 minutes after the first one. So he clearly thought this would just be a fun or, worryingly, sexy thing to say.
7. Easy Money
Hey, sometimes you can earn on OnlyFans with very minimal effort!
Offering a girlfriend experience typically means a lot of back-and-forth, and you need to charge a premium for it because you have to tailor your responses to their needs and their messages.
But maybe once in a while, you'll make an easy buck with a client who goes cold on you but has already paid. Wonder if their real-life partner caught on, or if they just regretted paying?
8. Don't Ruin Their Imagination
It can be embarrassing being on camera with your imperfections if you don't have a lot of body confidence. It shouldn't be, because your fans and subscribers are interested in the real you, but at the same time, we understand why some people might worry if they had something like a rash.
At least sometimes you might get a fan who is so confident and misguided in what they think they see, and you can just play along. You don't have to lie, just don't correct them, and you can then relax a little!
9. A Good Support Network Always Helps!
While many content creators will keep their careers secret from family and friends, it's usually better to make them aware of what you're doing if it's something they'll be OK with, even if there's any initial awkwardness.
At the very least, you can avoid potentially awful situations where they accidentally find out, especially if it's because of a clumsy mistake you've made like not hiding the evidence of what you're doing when they come to visit you!
Thankfully no harm was done to this creator, but if your loved ones aren't on board, maybe do a quick sweep of your home before they call around to remove any evidence.
10. Sometimes You Get Attached (Not Literally)
It's a good idea to pick up some toys and accessories to spice up your content, and you might end up a little bit attached to some of the first ones you buy – just like this creator who explained they were crying when their first dildo was no longer properly usable!
When you're working as an OF creator, you never know what's going to impact your mood and you might end up crying over something random! Don't freak out if you do, because sometimes it's just a bit of burnout and sometimes you might just not have realized what connections you have with different things that you use every day.
11. Always Check Your Backgrounds
When you're posting photos or videos, you'll naturally focus on what you're doing in the foreground of your content. And, you would hope, that's what your fans are doing too. This means it can be easy to get complacent and forget to do a quick scan of the background before you post.
While this was a funny example that saw a post get deleted, it is a serious thing to consider, especially if you're posting anonymously. You need to make sure there's nothing that could be linked to other social media accounts of yours in view, even if it's not completely clear.
12. Pay Attention To What You're Doing
Can you imagine the utter embarrassment if you accidentally posted a spicy video or photo set in the wrong place, especially if it was a public social media account that your family and friends had access to? You'd be utterly mortified – and it'd certainly be an interesting way of outing yourself for your career.
If you notice yourself making little mistakes, maybe wait to share your next content update until you've had a rest, to avoid disastrous results. This creator got away with it, but maybe you won't be so lucky if you work too hard!
13. Payment First, Every Time
Never, ever, trust a customer who claims they will pay you after the fact. If they have the money to spend on you then they have it upfront.
If they want to pay after, then that means they're going to withhold it if they aren't happy with the content, or they aren't going to pay at all. Don't let them get away with it.
14. Know Your Value
You always have to know your worth when you're working as a content creator, and that means you don't let it slide when someone tries to claim the work you do isn't worth the money.
It sucks when someone tries to devalue the hard work you put into something, and you're fully entitled to snap back if you want to. Over time, though, you'll find this happens a lot and you may as well just block and ignore.
15. It Can Happen Both Ways
If you find yourself getting attracted to a subscriber or a fan, don't panic, you're clearly not the first person to ever do it!
Having said that, it can sometimes lead to some questionable decisions if you're not careful. There's no harm in offering a small discount as a treat for them, but don't let it go too far by giving them free subscriptions or encouraging anything more.
We're sure you don't need to be told to keep it strictly professional but everyone, guys and gals, can get a little giddy when they find someone hot. After all, that's part of the reason you're able to make the money you can.
16. Why Proofreading Matters
Always be careful when you're posting content, especially when using your phone. You never know when autocorrect will strike to try and embarrass you!
A glance over your posts, before you push them live, is usually enough, but don't panic if you make a mistake, even one as embarrassing as this would've been if it went live. It shows you're human and honestly, it could lead to even better interactions with your fans.
Final word
Hopefully, these stories make you realize that working on OnlyFans isn't all about being super-professional all of the time and that sometimes it'll have weird moments or something embarrassing will happen, or just something funny that you can share with friends or other creators.
