New professional figures emerge in Gianmarco Onofri’s photography, embodying the modern world and making profits with the factory of sex and sexual exploration in the time of taboos: OnlyFans
Sex workers and sexual exploration on OnlyFans. Young talents in Gianmarco Onofri photography for Lampoon, the working issue – styled by Christian Stemmler
What do these young queers do for a living? Different jobs, sexual exploration, sex working too. Showing off online for money can help pay the rent and be a political act. They don’t have clients, but a lot of fans.
Sex Workers – Giovanni is the perfect dom top on OnlyFans
Giovanni, 24
Italy
OF account: @koumshot
He wants to create a personal mix between porn and art, making movies like Bruce Labruce. He has a big family of queer friends that he includes in his works. When he started OnlyFans he wasn’t making enough money but his popularity began to grow when he decided to do a scene with a famous porn actor. Then he established himself as a young dom top and gained followers. He’s mostly followed by the gay Italian community where he’s well known. He manages to keep his nerdy soul playing video games and watching anime.
In Gianmarco Onofri’s photography Bianca from Transylvania is the queen in lingerie of OnlyFans
Bianca, 25
Italy
@babyloonia
She was born in Transylvania (Romania), that’s why she has Dracula’s castle tattooed on her arm and
likes to call herself a vampire. She moved to Italy pretty young and grew up in a small city with her pink haired mum. She early discovered make-up and fashion and started building her specific aesthetic. Now she uses corsets, high heels and lingerie to create sexy looks for OnlyFans contents. She likes taking nude pictures and the money she earns she uses to pay the rent in Milan, where she moved recently. She’s a nail artist who works for singers and fashion shoots.
Marbelite, radicalize the definition of what it means to be Black and queer on OnlyFans
Marbelite, 25
U.S.A.
@marberotic
Marbelite – also known as Marberotic on OnlyFans, is a dance musician from the U.S. His goal in taking pictures is to portray black queer bodies without fetishization. Coming from the southern United States, Marb takes inspiration from his origins in the church to perform music and radicalize the definition of what it means to be Black and queer. Marbelite’s fans, known as the Marbs, support him because his work centers Black queerness from a perspective of a Black queer person.
Among sex workers, Luca started as an escort and ended up showing off on OnlyFans
Luca, 32
Italy
@luca_beix
With multiple degrees, he’s a heritage restorer. He comes from a quite rich family of intellectuals. His way of living is quite bohemian. He’s openly gay and he’s part of different queer associations in Cremona (Italy) that help every year organizing Pride month events. He recently opened OnlyFans because of the idea of being a sex worker and showing off, so he wanted to make some money out of that. It was something he wanted to do for a long time but since he’s not so much into tech, he found that quite boring. In the beginning his account was runned by a friend, who also took pictures and videos of him. He previously has had some experiences as an escort so he already knew what it was like to earn money using his body and his beauty.
Silene on OnlyFans: the use of sex toys, feminine orgasm, and sexworking
Silene, 23
Italy
@dolcesilene
On her site she describes herself as your favorite Italian cute and sweet bitch to have fun with. When not online, she enjoys her life with her boyfriend in a small town by the sea. She worked for a sexy shop as a model and content creator who raised awareness on sexual topics such as the use of sex toys, feminine orgasm, and made ironic Tik Toks about dating and sex life in general. Even though she used to do other jobs too, OnlyFans is now her main source of money. She has followers, mostly cis males both young and adult. She says she doesn’t have to post that much because there are many ways to earn money with the kind of public she has. Sexting sometimes can be enough.
Maryléne (Mario): from a professional ballet dancer to sex working on OnlyFans
Maryléne (Mario), 30
Italy
@self-exciting
A professional ballet dancer. He has multiple accounts on Instagram where he posts his dance rehearsals, barely dressed. He loves showing off and he prefers showing his naked body online rather than talking about his personal life. Being a dancer probably gave him a different perspective to look at his own body and he doesn’t perceive it as something to be ashamed of or that needs to be hidden. His pictures became famous on Tumblr years ago and he has never posted since then: webcam pictures, mirror selfies, nude ballet poses and feet closeups. He now posts on different social media but the censorship is so hard he decided to open OnlyFans, just for the urge to post his nudes. He has some friendly followers there but that’s not his main source of money.
