Sex workers are having a moment, but is the discourse missing the mark?
Sex workers are having a moment, but is the discourse missing the mark? The internet is talking about sex workers. A lot. They were in the spotlight during Oscars season − "Anora" won five awards, including best picture − and OnlyFans stars are gaining popularity on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, becoming pseudo-celebrities in the week, the discourse reached new heights. On June 11, The Economist published a profile of controversial adult entertainer Bonnie Blue titled "Welcome to Bonnie Blue's Britain." The 26-year-old made headlines by staging a since-canceled "petting zoo" stunt to give male fans unfettered access to her. The move angered fellow OnlyFans creators, like Sophie Rain, and made headlines. So what's going on? Sex work is having a moment. But some sex workers, whether they work in strip clubs or as online adult content creators, feel their lived experiences all too often get ignored in the discourse. 'Sex work is work' has become a party line for progressive politics, says Marla Cruz, a 30-year-old sex worker. Signs with the phrase can be found at women's marches and bedazzled T-shirts. But Cruz, along with half a dozen sex workers and OnlyFans creators USA TODAY spoke to, say that while recognizing sex workers' labor is important, the spotlight belongs on the financial and legal barriers to their safety and agency, which they say requires a deeper understanding of their work. 'There are plenty of people who will destigmatize the concept that sex work is real work, which it is,' Cruz says. 'But just because you recognize that it's real work, that doesn't mean that you respect the worker behind it.' What health & wellness means for you: Sign up for USA TODAY's Keeping It Together newsletter. Controversial OnlyFans stunts make 'a joke out of all of us' In December 2024, Lily Phillips made headlines for having sex with 100 men in 24 hours and documenting it for her OnlyFans. That documentary accumulated over 10 million views on YouTube and ignited passionate reactions. In January, Blue said she slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. Rain, a Miami-based influencer with over 500K fans on OnlyFans and 20M followers across social media platforms, called out Blue for turning the platform into a 'clown show.' Rain is a member of the Bop House, a content creator mansion of eight Gen Z OnlyFans creators. Her posts toe the line between sensual and sexually suggestive but never involve full nudity. 'It's no longer women empowerment. It's shock value, and she's making a joke out of all of us. We built this space to take control of our bodies and make money on our terms,' Rain said in a statement. 'Brands don't take us seriously anymore. Media doesn't take us seriously. I'm tired of having to explain that not all of us are doing circus acts for clicks.' Adreena Winters, who has worked in the adult entertainment industry for over 15 years, starting with studio porn before transitioning to OnlyFans during COVID-19, also worries that customers will 'lose trust' in sex workers if these stunts are just tactics to garner media attention. Still, she hopes these larger conversations can continue the positive trend she's seen in dismantling stigma against sex workers. She attributes this 'big shift' to OnlyFans' presence in books, documentaries and mainstream music. Artists like Lily Allen and Cardi B have used the platform to promote their music or release exclusive content, and Bad Bunny's track "Te Mudaste," which mentions OnlyFans, landed on Billboard's Top 100. But Winters says the acceptance hasn't extended to other areas of sex work, such as studio porn. 'I feel like it is very OnlyFans related. OnlyFans is quite ambiguous, people don't just jump to the conclusion that you're doing hardcore porn,' she says, adding that there is also a 'ridiculous amount of stigma and discrimination in the business world.' Keily Blair, the chief executive of OnlyFans, told the Financial Times that one bank turned her down as a customer. Both Winters and Cruz have struggled to access banking tools in the U.K. and U.S., they say, with Winters resorting to 'obscure, online banks' after having her accounts closed. Sex workers frequently ask for advice on Reddit and exchange tips for setting up a bank account to process their OnlyFans earnings. And, FOSTA-SESTA, a U.S. law passed under President Donald Trump in 2018, attempted to shut down websites that facilitate sex trafficking, including the popular advertising platform Backpage, which had been taken down a few days prior by U.S. federal authorities. But sex workers say that in the process, it damaged an online infrastructure that helped keep them safe. A 2020 study of FOSTA's effects on sex workers showed it increased economic instability for about 72% of the study's participants, and nearly 34% reported an increase in violence from clients. Cruz argues that repealing SESTA-FOSTA, which 'goes hand-in-hand' with decriminalizing sex work, is a crucial step in improving their working conditions. OnlyFans and AI are impacting girls: This author wrote a book about it. Sex workers need worker protections, not just attention Cruz's introduction to sex work was as a sugar baby when she was 18 to help pay for college. After working an office job, she began stripping and offering "full-service," which includes exchanging sex for money. She's moved around the country. At one strip club, Cruz faced the 'worst working conditions' she'd ever experienced. In those moments, the least of her concerns was whether or not people saw her labor as 'real work.' While working as a stripper, she was strangled in the 'champagne room,' where clients would go for private services. When she turned to management, they encouraged her not to involve law enforcement. 'Whether or not somebody thinks what we're doing is normal is totally immaterial to whether or not we are safe at work,' she explains. 'I need an emergency button in the champagne room. I need a bouncer by the champagne room to be there if a customer is abusing me.' Online, some young female OnlyFans stars make their lives look aspirational. Rain's 'Bop House' squad has a combined following of nearly 90 million users across social media platforms. 'I wanna be like you when I get older,' one follower wrote under a video of the women dancing. "I need to join the bop house,' said another. But while Cruz has said committing to the industry was the best decision she has ever made, she doesn't encourage other women to follow in her footsteps. On 'Stripper Twitter,' an online community of in-person sex workers, they look out for each other. Part of the reason that community is so strong, Cruz says, is because they understand how 'difficult, lonely and isolating' the work can be. More: Online, young female OnlyFans stars make their lives look aspirational. Is it problematic? Sex workers want better representations of their lived experiences Cruz had been excited for the release of 'Anora,' but was disillusioned by the film. 'Anora' follows the whirlwind relationship between a 23-year-old stripper, Ani (Mikey Madison), and her client-turned-husband, Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch. The romantic dramedy was marketed as a Cinderella story, and an early screening to an audience of sex workers, who clacked their heels in approval during the end credits, swiftly circulated on social media. When the film dominated awards season, other sex workers began expressing their disapproval. One of Cruz's biggest criticisms is that it depicted sex workers 'through the eyes of customers and consumers and not as workers performing labor,' which she calls a 'disrespect of our work.' To her, the film was a 'reminder' that the lived experiences of sex workers like herself, and the tensions between sex workers and consumers, will 'not be portrayed accurately' unless sex workers are in control of that portrayal from start to finish. ''Anora' embodies the dehumanizing consumer fantasy of a devoted worker who loves the consumer so much she does not conceive of her servitude as labor,' Cruz wrote of the film. In Mikey Madison's acceptance speech for best actress at the Oscars, Madison recognized the sex worker community: 'I see you. You deserve respect and human decency.' For Cruz, those sentiments fell flat. 'Advocacy for sex workers cannot be ambiguous,' she says. Instead of awards, she'd like to see real, tangible change.

Millennial Woman Shares Clingiest Pet—No One Expecting What She Reveals
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman has gone viral for showing of her "stage-5 clinger" pet—a duckling who has become incredibly attached to her. Alissa Gore, 32, lives in Alabama with her husband and four children on a farm they have started running together. And on that farm, there was a duck: named Eleanor, who has formed an extremely strong bond to Gore. "Ever since she was little, she would sit in the hood of my sweatshirt while I cooked dinner," Gore told Newsweek. "Once she got too big, I started putting her in a baby carrier sometimes. "All of our ducks enjoy a hug, but they don't like to stay in our hugs for very long. Eleanor wants to be held for long periods of time," she added. A video to Gore's TikTok account @alissagore on May 17, viewed close to 10 million times, proved just how clingy Eleanor can be, as Gore recorded herself trying to put the duckling down so she could run to the store. In the clip, Gore holds the duckling like a baby, with its neck and beak tucked over her shoulder. And the second she tries to put Eleanor down—while apologizing for having to do so—the duckling starts kicking, flailing and making upset noises. Alissa Gore shows how much her duckling, Eleanor, loves to be picked up and cuddled. Alissa Gore shows how much her duckling, Eleanor, loves to be picked up and cuddled. TikTok @alissacgore The battle of wills goes on, as, each time Eleanor gets upset, Gore puts her back into her nestling position. But once she tries to put her down again, Eleanor starts flailing and cheeping miserably, with Gore apologizing repeatedly. "I'm sorry," Gore tells Eleanor—and, by the end of the clip, the duckling remains in Gore's arms, the trip to the store being put off until later. She said: "She is a lovable, silly duck with such a big personality. We all love her so much and love learning about each of our animal's personalities. "Tidbit, our newest duck, has also gained some internet attention, because he likes to sit in my armpit," Gore said, adding that her husband has "started calling me the animal whisperer." TikTok users loved the video of Eleanor, as one user wrote that she was commenting on the video "so you get paid and can get DoorDash instead of putting down that duck." "Get her a baby carrier and take her to the grocery store," another posted, while one comment read: "Must not show this video to my wife. She wants ducks. She loves ducks. If she sees this and we get ducks I will blame you." And another viewer asked: "How do I get a snuggle duck?" From left: Each time Gore tries to put the duckling down, Eleanor flails and makes upset noises. From left: Each time Gore tries to put the duckling down, Eleanor flails and makes upset noises. TikTok @alissacgore Gore said she has been told by "many people" that it is unusual for a duck to behave like this toward a human. Ducklings, like other birds, can imprint on a human, perceiving them as their own species if they hatch without a mother duck present. However, it does not necessarily mean the ducklings will be particularly friendly to that human, according to the Wildlife Center of Virginia. "It has been a blessing for me to see how many lives Eleanor and I have touched through our videos," Gore said. "If I could leave any impact in this world besides raising my children, it would be to make people smile and laugh. We need more of that."

Gen Zer Ranks Sister's Instagram—Result Is Brutal: 'Undeniably Millennial'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Generation Zer has gone viral after rating his sister's "undeniably millennial" Instagram stories, and he didn't hold back. As an 18-year-old, Nate Gilbert is firmly in the Gen Z category (people who were born between 1997 and 2012), but the same can't be said for his sister, Katie Walker. Aged 24, she is also Gen Z, but Gilbert told Newsweek that her "way of posting aligns much more with millennials." The siblings have a running joke about her online content seeming more like that of millennials, who were born between 1981 and 1996. Walker recently saw a video of two girls rating their millennial sister's posts, and couldn't resist asking Gilbert, of Seattle, Washington, to do the same. Needless to say, he was more than happy to oblige. "There's a story that she posted of her feet in the sand with the simple caption ' … I hate sand'. This is the literal epitome of a millennial post," Gilbert said. Nate Gilbert, 18, ranks his sister's Instagram stories. Nate Gilbert, 18, ranks his sister's Instagram stories. @nate_g727 / TikTok He continued: "Caption aside, many commenters agreed that the picture itself was undeniably millennial. I don't think you would ever catch someone on the younger side of Gen Z posting pictures of their toes in the sand unironically, but here she was, doing exactly that." What makes Walker's social-media presence so millennial is the sheer number of posts, Gilbert said. He added that she loves to post about everything from her breakfast to the weather, which her younger brother thinks is a common trait among millennials. While Gen Z tend to be more performative on social media and use it as a way of curating a brand, Gilbert said he thinks millennials just use it to "post their inner thoughts for all to see." "I've been openly critical of the way Gen Z uses social media, since it's all very artificial and fake. However, this does not mean that I will stop poking fun at the way millennials post," he said. Gilbert shared his ratings in a TikTok video (@nate_g727) which has since gone viral with over 874,000 views and more than 74,100 likes in a matter of days. The scoring system he used was a 1 for "too millennial, don't post that," up to 10 being more like a Gen Z post. Among his ratings, Gilbert showed an Instagram story of a dog that was captioned "smiley boy." He gave that a three out of 10 because it was "pretty millennial" but wasn't the worst. A photo of a plane window was deemed even more millennial and got just two of out 10 because of the stickers and emoji. Gilbert said that his sister wasn't surprised by his criticism, as she knew he "wouldn't hold back." The online response to the TikTok video is beyond anything Gilbert expected, with many millennials feeling personally victimized by his critique. Gilbert told Newsweek: "I got hundreds of comments about how my generation is miserable, even though I somewhat agree. Some people went as far as to come at me personally, commenting about how emotionless I sound. On the other hand, there were some millennials who were able to laugh at themselves and left positive comments." The video wasn't meant with malice, but rather just to offer a fun perspective. Gilbert certainly doesn't hate millennials; he just wanted to analyze the different ways they use social media to Gen Z. "I'm sure that, in 10 years' time, Gen Alpha will take our place and begin making fun of our generation. And I'm excited to watch what they come up with," Gilbert said. With over 2,300 comments on the clip so far, many TikTok users were quick to share their thoughts. One comment reads: "Gen Z is literally obsessed with us." Another TikTok user wrote: "all the millennials mad in the comments is killing me." A third person replied: "The fact Gen Z isn't using stickers is devastating news to me." One commenter added: "As a millennial, her stories speak to me." Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share? We want to see the best ones!
