In previous posts about buying porn online, I have talked about clipsites that focus mainly on the sale of longer form video. With the changing online environment, some clipsites have decided to pivot and provide more options for customers. In this post, I will talk about the other online offerings from adult content creators that may pique your interest. If you would like extra context around what is discussed below, please see my previous articles on how to buy porn online ethically and how to buy porn online part 2.

Fanclubs

Most people know about OnlyFans, the most famous platform offering uncensored fanclub content. Various other sites using the same sort of formula have popped up in recent years, including LoyalFans, Fansly, and AussieFans for Australian performers. Clipsites such as ManyVids have also developed similar fanclubs, integrated with their other features. Mostly this business model is centred around users paying a monthly fee to access a performer's NSFW social feed through their specific websites. These social feeds act as an NSFW advertising space for many creators.

Some sites will give you the opportunity to sample a taste of a performers content before paying a monthly fee for ongoing access.

Users may have the option to buy porn content directly from the creator, once subscribed. The differences for consumers of access to fanclub type content across platforms are negligible. Some sites will give you the opportunity to sample a taste of a performers content before paying a monthly fee for ongoing access. Depending on how the performer sets up their fanclub, they may offer a free trial or reduced rates for purchasing multiple months of access. Some sites are easier to negotiate than others and like any business, customer support varies.

Memberships

A membership is slightly different than fanclub access in that you are paying for access to a model’s catalogue of long form content. It is basically a streaming service, so instead of buying access to individual clips, you are buying access to a model’s video catalogue. ManyVids have this as an option and other sites are developing similar setups, with some having their membership cover a whole range of models and producers.

Like fanclubs, these are usually renewed on a month-to-month basis, with options to purchase bulk packages of access. Some models will allow you to download the content they share in their membership, but others will not. As for any other streaming service, streaming speeds vary depending on the traffic on the site, the size of the content you are accessing and the capabilities of your device. Sites are constantly working on optimising this for their customers, and if you run into problems, always contact support. They will not know there is an issue unless you let them know!

Live shows

Live shows, also known as webcams and camshows, are fairly self-explanatory. This is where you get to watch a model perform live, in real time. The format of webcamming has been copied across to mainstream social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok so you may be familiar with how this works. You watch the model live and can interact via on-screen group chat. For adult models, it is an eerily similar set up, though there are several, notable differences.

Users have the option to purchase tokens or cash, it is used to tip models as they perform. There is usually a free live cam room you can join to watch different models, after which you tip them or you can join/request a private show for a cost. Some sites (such as Streamate) will not allow below the waist nudity in their free, live cam rooms, so you will have to spend money to see more. Other fun options for camroom audiences include cam-to-cam (where you can share your camera and talk to the model directly), control remote toys if a model has them or tip models for specific actions. Cammodels have a very particular skillset, and models will provide all kinds of different live experiences for their audiences. From gaming, stripping, live sex or fetish content, there is content available to suit every preference.

Clearly there are a myriad of ways to support your favourite adult content creators, and you don't have to break the bank when you buy porn online. By taking time to explore the various sites available, you can be sure to find something that piques your interest. Variety is the spice of life, you never know what you will discover while perusing the various platforms available.
