  • Are Your Credit Cards Safe When Paying for Porn?

    Free Newsletter | Secure Porn Sites

    Yes. I won’t make you sit through a long introduction for the answer. But, I’ll use the rest of this article to explain why your payment information is safe on reputable porn sites.

    Fraud happens, and so do leaks. This isn’t a guarantee that your credit card will be safe in the hands of paysites. But, I’ll use my 5 years in the adult industry to explain why it probably is.

    Why Am I Talking About Credit Card Safety?

    Here’s the short backstory.

    I signed up to Quora. There aren’t many female adult content creators on that social media. So, the majority of questions and answers are between clients who… don’t know what they’re talking about.

    Within a month, my inbox was flooded with one question in particular, but in different formats.

    • “Will an adult content website steal my credit card information?”
    • “How do I avoid hackers on paysites?”
    • “How secure is OnlyFans, LoyalFans, Clips4Sale, etc.?”

    And my personal favorite:

    • “Is my phone safe when I visit porn sites?”

    Obviously, there’s a layer of paranoia surrounding adult paysites. So, I wanted to address it.

    Disclaimer: I’m not a fortune teller. Every website is capable of accidentally leaking data. Mistakes happen.

    Remember when Experian leaked the entire country’s data, or when all of these other major non-adult platforms fumbled our sensitive information? It’s a part of being on the internet.

    Even safe adult sites aren’t immune to data leaks, but I do believe that they take extra precautions. The scrutiny surrounding porn platforms puts them under a microscope.

    They could easily lose the trust of their entire customer base, and that’s what keeps them in check.

    How to Differentiate Unsafe vs. Safe Porn Sites

    While I reasonably trust all of these adult platforms with my brand, I’m aware of the underlying issue. It is possible to stumble across a sketchy website.

    MacAfee has a great article about how to distinguish safe vs. unsafe websites, but I’ll go over the main points here.

    These sketchy characteristics should raise your alarm bells:

    • It looks lazily thrown together.
    • There are 1 million ads, especially pop-ups.
    • It asks you to download things that you did not ask or pay for.
    • If you do put in information (such as an email address), your inbox fills with irrelevant spam.
    • Too-good-to-be-true discounts on expensive items

    IMPORTANT: When you download a video from a website, the file should be .MP3 or .MOV. Other common video file formats may pop up. However, it should never be a .EXE file.

    A .EXE file is meant to make changes to your device. You’ll often see it with app downloads, programs, software, etc. It is not a video file. If you think you’re downloading a video and get a .EXE file instead, do not open it.

    Safe websites should have a few key features.

    Firstly, an SSL certificate with “https://” is essential.

    The alternative “http://” is not secure. If you put your information into a URL with “http://“, it’s easy for third parties to steal anything that you type on that site.

    At the very least, the domain name should be spelled correctly.

    If you’re surfing PornHub for example, and you notice that the domain name says PronHub, that is not the same website. It is fake. Hackers take advantage of misspelled domain names to steal your information.

    Paysites I Trust With My Information

    Since I’ve been in the adult industry for 5 years, I have never had an issue with my paysites. In fact, I’ve had more problems with Facebook and Twitter’s shady privacy policies.

    The trusted adult sites that I use regularly include:

    • iWantClips
    • Clips4Sale
    • LoyalFans
    • SextPanther*

    Click the Buttons for My Official Profiles

    LoyalFans

    iWantClips

    Clips4Sale

    SextPanther

    Most of my paysites are old. Clips4Sale is 20 years old. SextPanther was founded 9 years ago, and iWantClips is 13 years old.

    LoyalFans is the newest at 4 years old. That made me skeptical at first, but other creators convinced me of their legitimacy. I’m glad that they did. It’s my favorite premium subscription platform!

    My logic is that their longevity means something. If they survived this long through multiple financial crises, then they know how to encrypt our data.

    ” I’d say that the porn industry has helped pioneer things like video streaming and online payment services, and they don’t want to do things that hurt their businesses. They’ve invested a lot in keeping sites secure.”

    Stephen Cobb in The San Diego Tribune

    *Note: SextPanther had issues with a breach in the past. However, they were not hacked. The leaked (model, not client) information was found by penetration testers and not seen by the general public. I talk about it more in my SextPanther review.

    Keep in mind…

    I’m not just sharing credit card information with these paysites.

    They need my full name and driver’s license to prove that I’m of legal age. My social security number, address, and other personal information are required for tax purposes. Some of these NSFW platforms require a photo of a utility bill to prove where we live.

    Adult content creators who use trusted paysites are age verified.

    That matters. It’s not realistic or safe to give my fans this sensitive information. Safe porn sites do the heavy lifting by verifying every creator.

    It’s safer to use a verified adult platform to pay for porn. Unverified creators who use PayPal are just as risky as a sketchy paysite.

    Why I Take Safety Seriously as an Adult Content Creator

    As an adult content creator, I spend a lot of time vetting new paysites.

    I do not compromise when it comes to my safety. My logic is, how can I expect my viewers, fans, and subs to sign up for a website that I don’t trust?

    When it comes to safety, that’s essential for us. We hear horror stories about being stalked, harassed, and killed through the grapevine. Even Amouranth was stalked once upon a time.

    The stakes are a bit higher than credit card information for us. So, we have to be sure that a website won’t get us in deep trouble.

    How to Vet a Paysite

    Adult content creators and the people who buy from us can both learn something here.

    This is a lot of work for fans, clients, and viewers. I want to explain my process for two reasons.

    Firstly, I’d like for you to know that I don’t sign up for any adult site. I take special care to prove the legitimacy of my platforms. I this is too much work for you personally, know that I put in the effort.

    Basically, the links I send you are vetted. If I send you something, it’s legitimate to the best of my knowledge.

    Secondly, it’s to protect your data. Clicking suspicious links is risky. You have to know what’s safe and what isn’t. If this inspires you to be a bit more careful, I’ve done my due diligence.

    Here’s where I start my vetting process:

    • Are they legitimate?
    • Are models that I know using it?
    • How old are they?
    • Who owns them?
    • Are there any sources about them that don’t come from the website itself? (Forbes, feature articles, etc.)
    • Do they have traffic, and what’s their traffic source?
    • What country is the website hosted in? (Find this on WHOIS.)
    • Who is their payment processor?

    Since OnlyFans got popular, scam fansites popped up in its midst. Most of them are a quick cash grab, and the risk leans towards the models.

    For example, Pocketstars (now known as Fansify) seemed like a legitimate site. However, they stopped paying adult creators and no longer communicate honestly with the community. ExtraLunchMoney pulled a similar trick.

    What makes me suspicious of a paysite:

    • It’s under 2 years old.
    • The content of the site focuses on performer sign-ups instead of selling to clients.
    • There is no age verification.
    • They ask adult creators to pay instead of clients.
    • Badmouthing creators on social media. (Yes, this happens.)
    • Little to no social media presence.

    Basically, the red flags fly high and bright. A poorly managed website costs creators and members in the long run. It’s better to go with older, trustworthy brands.

    Is Your Credit Card Safe on Premium Porn Sites?

    To wrap things up, yes. Finding a trustworthy porn site is key. Don’t enter your payment information into new, sketchy paysites.

    Avoid diving so deep that you’re on the dark side of the internet, and you’ll be fine. So far, my “green flag” sites are:

    • LoyalFans
    • Streamate
    • Clips4Sale
    • iWantClips
    • Chaturbate
    • ModelHub
    • SkyPrivate
    • SextPanther

    Note: This is my experience as a model on these pay-to-play sites. For issues on the client end, I can’t answer those questions.

    Quick Tip: It’s possible to look up reviews on Trustpilot or Scam Advisor to see what clients are saying.

    Thank you for reading!

    Hopefully, this makes you feel a bit safer on my side of the internet. Don’t let sex shame and paranoia stop you from being your kinkiest true self. If you want to pay for porn, you deserve to relax while doing so.

  • Legitimate Marketing Advice and Its Relevance to Sex Workers

    Legitimate feedback to marketing experts, developers, those in the tech industry who want to dip their toes in the adult industry.

    I collected general marketing advice from Hubspot and MasterClass to fuel this debate.

    “Now, more than ever, consumers lean on trust as a leading factor when deciding whether to do business with a company.”

    Why This Advice Applies:

    Trust is a leading factor because of guilt. They may be worried about the ethics of the porn they watch. Female clients and left-leaning clients in particular as of 2022 – 2024 actively search for ethical porn, but it is something that male clients consider.

    Why It Doesn’t Apply:

    For clients who patronize sex workers, the priority is impulse spending.

    If a client legitimately has a crush on the sex worker, and if we can provide a very specific fetish/kink while having the “look”. We may look like their girlfriend or their wife, or a coworker that they have a crush on.

    This is still a play on trust, but it’s not something that we can account for on our end.

    “Do customers have pain points that no existing company is addressing?”

    Customer pain points. Post nut clarity. They do not mix well.

    We have paint points with the clients, and the clients are in denial about it. Because our image is the product, we get physically exhausted.

    I personally do not pay attention to client pain points because I create content based on fetish. If they don’t like it, they should have read the description, looked at the thumbnail, watched the preview, and even asked me if the video has exactly what they want.

    Basically, we have to prioritize ourselves, and our clients follow.

    Our feedback system revolves around user comments and one-on-one interactions.

    Review sites will simultaneously criticize models and steal our content. Some of our clients have legitimate concerns and want to tell us how to improve. They do not want to be on the websites that abuse us.

    “Growing a business centers around generating awareness among consumers”

    Brand awareness is important. However, fresh content is a priority with porn performers.

    ManyVids and LoyalFans in particular prioritize new content, as does Google.

    Sites like PornHub, XHamster, and XVideos are good for generating brand awareness. On account of impulse spending, it’s a waste of time in my opinion. If you are not online, a client will go somewhere else.

    Dommes and sex workers as a whole have different niches. Popular models like Britney Amber might prioritize brand awareness. But, a newer or less popular model would not be able to reach that rank in the same way.

    Mass popularity isn’t possible for a new model unless they start trending.

    Actively trying to trend isn’t a possibility for models with low rank or social media shadowbans. They could niche down and aim for brand awareness based on fetish, but they’d be relying on a handful of clients for money.

    “Make use of marketing tools“

    MelRose Michaels, the founder of SexWorkCEO, is a great source of information. So many sex workers do not have the tools to bring their rank up. The priority is client retention and money.

    Every app and website that we use actively works against us.

    I discovered that a lot of marketers, developers, engineers, and tech industry experts have excellent ideas. But, the disconnect is our pain points.

    If you approach the adult industry with an idea, keep in mind:

    • Sex worker and client safety/privacy take priority.
    • Do research on the laws that hold our industry down: Project 2025 and SESTA/FOSTA
    • Our terms of service prioritize consent and are a slave to Mastercard/Visa.
    • Your skills are valuable, but they have to specifically apply to sex workers.
    • If you’re easy to anger or averse to criticism, get the fuck out.

    Tech Industry Experts, Here’s Where to Start

    Most of us are sole proprietors. I will never work for an agency. You may have the experience to guide new models, but there are other ways to monetize.

    Most of us are sole proprietors. I will never work for an agency. You may have the experience to guide new models, but there are other ways to monetize.

    When fansites were the trend, many of the webmasters went straight to the models. They were working backwards and actively avoiding marketing experts.

    They were trying to make fast money. I do not create accounts on new websites that have zero clients.

    If you’re looking for places to pitch, targeting those websites is a good idea.

    You can find model pain points on sex worker led spaces here.

    “Optimize for smartphones.“

    iPhone, the App Store, does not allow explicit adult content.

    Many websites have to find workarounds, and they are model-centric.

    The clients do not have access to the same tools we do, tools that make it easier to purchase the product.

    The laws that make it more complicated to sell porn and fetish content target clients. So, the developers on our end do not make client-centric apps.

    “31% of the 1,400 marketers in our most recent State of Marketing survey say short-form videos yield the highest ROI,”

    Short-form videos got popular after the TikTok wave. They’re an excellent marketing strategy.

    However, when you have too much free content, you will not get clicks in the porn world. We have to go back through our feeds, delete the majority of our content just to pull clients towards our paysites.

    “Ad Exhaustion”

    This is excellent marketing advice. It’s easy to post too many ads. My genuine advice to sex workers is that showing personality is key.

    We are simultaneously a product and a person. Our existence is a niche, and we are all unique.

    Ad exhaustion applies the most on social media. When we try to trend or prioritize traffic, we post the same thing back-to-back. Creating fresh content on a regular basis is exhausting, and we have to find ways around that.

    “Conduct price research. Use pricing research and case studies to help your company find an acceptable price point for a new product.”

    The answer to this switches on a dime.

    Customers categorize us in their minds based on body type and fetish. They do have certain price points, depending on the fetish. But, you’re stuck there because you can’t change the way that you look.

    There are ways to mitigate this, and it’s mostly a beginner’s paint point.

    “Let customers hear from you.”

    Our clients love free conversation, and the more free conversation they get, the less likely they are to pay.

    If they do not pay you within the first 3 messages, they aren’t going to pay at all. Some of them live on our websites and feed off of free conversation. They literally message hundreds of us every week.

    AI seems to be a good fix for this, but we will see~

    “Leverage the ‘Attract, Delight, Engage’ model to create tailored content for each stage of the buyer’s journey.“

    This is a basic marketing sales funnel, which is effective. Like I mentioned before, clients who pay well are looking for specific fetishes and experiences.

    So, it’s easier to work backwards.

    I start with the fetish. I will publish the keywords on my blog and social media. However, the content already has to be ready because of the impulse spending factor.

    So, I have to make the video first and *then* create bite-size content.

    In summation, “coming soon” does not work.

    “Don’t just put out fluff content – put out content that educates your audience and answers their questions thoroughly.“

    This is a great tip because, many clients don’t know the how or why about their fetish.

    They are genuinely interested in learning. They know that they have it. And sometimes they’ll get stuck in a binge/guilt cycle.

    The ones who do their research are able to reach those conclusions more easily.

    It also validates them. They wonder whether or not the performer they’ve been eyeing understands their fetish on a fundamental level. They like to know that they’re in good hands.

    They love walking into that water when they know that it is safe for their puny manbrains.

    Marketing Advice Geared Towards Sex Workers

    Sex work is a closed practice for many reasons. They look towards their community for advice and rarely accept outside influence. Many newcomers also learn by making mistakes.

    On top of that, the majority of new SW’s only last around 3 months before they quit.

    Good advice that I found from my research on this article: Attract, Engage, Delight.

    When one of my strategies run stale, I like to do a revamp. I’m in a fast-paced industry, so I do my best to stay up-to-date with best practices.

    I discovered Attract, Engage, Delight. Because general advice usually doesn’t apply to Dommes, I’ll take this trend and put my own spin on it.

    My job is all about creativity, and it’s easy to find a loyal test subject who’s ready to be experimented on~

  • My Honest FapHouse Review as a Creator

    Most XHamster viewers know about FapHouse. Free videos are great, but high-quality paid porn sites are what the people crave. So, XH took it upon themselves to create a clipstore for creators like me to upload our naughty content.

    Here’s my 100% honest FapHouse review: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Read the table of contents for the juicy details you want to hear. Or, check out my other adult site reviews by a real amateur porn creator.

    Update: 2/18/2025 – Thanks for the mention, HotSiren!

    FapHouse is one of the best sites for traffic in my opinion.

    Unlike other sites, it doesn’t feel like you’re fighting to get a high position on the website. It’s easy to be seen, and it has plenty of features for models.

    Customers are obviously happy and loyal there as well. They’re the highest engaging fans I have in the inbox.

    I’ve been more active on FapHouse lately, and I’m very flattered to see the mention. Thanks!

    What Is FapHouse and XHamster?

    FapHouse is a premium porn subscription created by its parent company XHamster. For a monthly fee, you get access to professional and homemade porn. Amateur content creators are welcome on the site, but there are plenty of high-quality pro videos also!

    Fans choose whether to pay for individual videos with free download, a creator’s individual Fanclub, or simply browse the free videos. The XXX categories easily reach over 400, and the niche tags to browse are endless.

    Viewer Perks: The Benefits of Joining Fap House

    Searching for paid porn is hard. The perfect video to watch is more than likely behind a paywall, and it’s hard to make a decision with a 10-second preview.

    FapHouse gives you diversity and the ability to watch thousands of premium creators. Half a million videos live on their site that cater to every taste.

    Fetishes, kinks, all body types, men and women, solo, couples; it exists there.

    • Messaging real amateurs, pornstars, and studios for free
    • Free feeds with nudes, lewds, lingerie, and more

    Fap House vs. Other Paid Porn Sites

    As a viewer, buying porn is an experience. Sexy, fun, a little taboo; you’re in control of the videos you watch. Looking for more paid porn sites to join? I’ll compare my FapHouse review to some of my favorites and let you decide.

    Read my LoyalFans review to see for yourself.

    • ManyVids – Think YouTube, but for porn. Millions of videos and tens of thousands of amateurs exist on MV. The community is warm and welcoming to the kinkiest of members, and it’s great for viewers who love to follow adult content creators to see their growth.

    Message me on SextPanther, and I’ll show you what I mean.

    Why Did I Join Another Premium Adult Site?

    My love for creating hot porn knows no bounds. All of the paid porn sites I join means another opportunity to find my biggest fan.

    FapHouse and XHamster are no different. I heard that it was a way to make money from fanclub subscriptions. Leaving OnlyFans made me look for greener pastures; so last year, I signed up and never looked back.

    My Opinion on FapHouse for Fans and Creators

    First and foremost, it’s not a terrible site for amateurs; it just has its flaws. For porn viewers, I think it’s great. They get tons of premium XXX content for a small monthly fee with lots of perks.

    However, my opinion differs when it comes to adult content creators. I’m on the fence about it being a good website to sell porn. It’s not the best fanclub site out there, but it is a good space to make extra money.

    My Praises

    Discoverability, ease of use, and traffic are my main motivators for joining a new adult site. FapHouse delivers on every one of those needs. Making money is the easy part, and I have no complaints about that.

    They have a blog to introduce new uploaders to the site.

    Full videos, photos, and messaging are the key features of the site. Also, uploading automatic trailers directly to XHamster for extra traffic is as easy as clicking one button. By far, FapHouse is my lowest effort paid fanclub for the highest return.

    Also, they do payout on time. I’ve never had an issue with receiving my payment from them.

    Other content creators on FapHouse review it positively too.

    My Complaints

    Plain and simple, FapHouse seems lazily created. The website has glitches, and those glitches make it harder for me to upload. So far, I’ve had to deal with:

    • My screen going black while creating an (unsavable!) description for a vid
    • Mass message stats and buttons not working.
    • Photo upload buttons failing to work.
    • Videos that I scheduled to post daily posting all at once, destroying my content schedule.
    • The support team is slow to reply.

    Yes, a lot of glitches exist on FapHouse. I won’t prioritize the fanclub as my main money-maker for that reason. Plus, one big issue leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    Here’s the story.

    When I first signed up, I noticed that my bank account information was unencrypted.

    What’s encryption? Do you know those little stars that censor your sensitive information on any other site? It will say something like: “First Name: W*** Last Name: Y*** Password: *****”.

    That’s not what the payout information looks like. It’s 100% unencrypted. If someone else hacks into your account, they will see your name and bank account information. That’s a huge security issue.

    Did I inform the FapHouse Support Team about the issue?

    Yes. I messaged their support and told them how important encryption is. Their reply was that they will “pass it on to the appropriate channels.” It’s two months later, and nothing has changed. They’re obviously doing the bare minimum, and it’s going to cost a lot of people if this goes wrong.

    Why am I still on FapHouse if I’m so worried?

    I changed my payout info from direct deposit to my crypto wallet. Other creators should do the same.

    Enjoyed My FapHouse Review? How to Join.

    Whether you’re a viewer or a creator, there’s a place for you on FapHouse. It has its hiccups, but I do suggest it as a backup plan. Diversifying porn platforms is the easiest way to make extra money when your main website is slow.
