After she stopped watching adult films, Mia Khalifa explains why performing OnlyFans is different from po*n.

Mia Khalifa has revealed how her foray into OnlyFans differs from her previous profession in pornography and adult films, highlighting a significant difference between the two.

The 31-year-old Khalifa gained international fame after going viral for a specific pornographic video in which she appeared and caused significant controversy since she wore a headscarf while engaging in sex activities.

She became an instant sensation in the pornographic business as a result, and she is still one of the most searched names on PornHub.

However, Khalifa only starred in a few more adult films after leaving porn permanently, even though she rose to fame quite rapidly.

But she soon realized she couldn’t go back to her day job, so normalcy wasn’t an option for her. She chose to pursue social media and influencer marketing instead of continuing with porn.

With almost 26 million Instagram followers, 4.3 million Facebook followers, and 6.2 million X followers, it’s fair to say she’s been rather successful.

Khalifa has used her fan base to launch a lucrative profession, making millions of dollars with the subscription service OnlyFans.

For those who don’t know, OnlyFans is a membership service for online content that is mostly used by producers to sell pornographic material that they have produced themselves.

Khalifa is one of them; according to reports, she has made up to $6.2 million (£4.6 million) every month on the site.

She said that OF enables her to be ‘authentic to myself and feel comfortable with being on it’, which is different from producing pornography and other more conventional adult material.

“I only engage in nudity when I’m wearing a see-through garment or anything like that in a fashion magazine.

The audience I’ve built up on that platform is aware of what they’re getting into, so I feel safe,” Khalifa told The New York Times.

In contrast, Khalifa said that during her short stint in the adult business, she felt “pressured” to act for someone else.

She nonetheless cautioned younger ladies against signing up for the subscription site at such a young age, particularly if their only goal is “easy money.”

She stated: “I struggle to ensure that I’m not endorsing it as a site that caters to ladies seeking quick cash.

“I have a responsibility to not promote it as something that any woman should join unless they’ve already been in the sex-work industry, unless they’re over 25.

Their frontal cortex is formed, unless they’re coming at it from a place that’s not — I don’t want to use the word ‘desperate’, but from a place of clarity and good intentions.”

Working on OnlyFans ultimately comes from a “place of agency and bodily autonomy… not from a place of need,” according to Khalifa.

Khalifa said, “I get a lot of backlash from women in the industry,” when she raised awareness of the risks associated with sex work.

“whether I’m stigmatizing anything, I don’t care whether another female is upset with me. Being on something and telling others not to join is paradoxical.

However, I’m not advocating against joining. I’m telling you not to join too young or as a solution to all of your issues. Simply said, avoid making a mistake. The internet will always exist.
