    Quite a few. The first was this older lady I worked with at a health food restaurant who did a bunch in the 70s.

    I’ve seen a few coworkers OFs.

    One guy I worked with at mom & pop college diner, very early 20s, just started college and started doing amateur gay porn. He was a boyish and reasonably attractive guy. Summer break hits, he goes back home and gets a job in construction, when he comes back for school now he’s ripped. So he starts working out, gets swoll, and went from being boyish to very handsome. Then he must have been seen by the right people, starts landing professional shoots. Next thing you know, he’s dropped out of school and is flying all over the world being a pro performer and a well paid boy toy. He’d stop in a few times a year to say hi and was always smiling and dressed in expensive clothes.

    In my younger years I ran with a pretty rough crowd, most of the girls had stripped and/or prostituted at some point. Plus we were all a bunch of freaks anyway, so I’ve seen a lot of my girly friends naked, either on stage or in person.

    This is a story from many years ago when I was younger and working in a coffee shop. Your usual mob of disaffected teens and twenty-somethings gossiping by day and drinking by night. A coworker’s birthday was coming up and she wanted to go to Seattle’s infamous HUMP! film festival. So if I’m going to be sitting there watching porn with my coworkers I might as well be plastered, right?

    Unfortunately one of our number, K, couldn’t attend at the time as she was ~18 and too young to drink (in America). And yet who should appear on the cinema screen, larger than life, taking a full load to the face? Too young to drink but old enough to perform. We stumbled into work the next day hungover and there she was, beaming with pride, “So what did you think?”

    I wish I could remember more but I’ve been blessed to forget. Unsure how much I actually miss my 20’s.

    When I was still in high school, one of the seniors I didn’t know too well did some hardcore bdsm stuff under a pseudonym and it got out to the student population. Can’t confirm but I think she was 18. I saw it and while it wasn’t my thing, it was absolutely surreal seeing her get whipped and brutally fucked. Even had an after-care section, which was a good sign. Looked like she enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, this destroyed her school life, and her younger sister’s as well so they ended up moving. She was in drama, so it was expected for her to go into acting, just surprising what type. Hope they’re both doing good these days.

    I had heard two people from my highschool class (several years after highschool obviously) had started Onlyfans accounts.

    One was a guy, one was a girl.

    I was mostly just curious so I definitely subbed to both for a month. No regrets.

    Always support a friend’s small business I say.

        They both basically tried it for a few months and gave up.

        I don’t subscribe to OF usually so I don’t have a frame of reference but not enough (basically zero) video content just a lot of tasteful nudes. Mid.

    A lady I connected with online (not a dating site or similar) asked if I was willing to help with a web site. I said ok and we met up at a nearby late night restaurant. It turned out it was a porn site and she was a porn actress, wanting to have her own site instead of the exploitive one that she was then on. We had a nice conversation about all kinds of things including web development.

    The restaurant was not fancy but she spent a while picking out the cheapest things on the menu. I was the one who suggested the meeting place and I inferred that she was having cash flow problems while I was working as a programmer, so I figured I should pick up the tab when it came. It was just the considerate thing to do. When I picked it up, she freaked out as if I expected something from her because of it. She left the restaurant in a big hurry and I didn’t hear from her after that, oh well.

    She was an interesting person, and attractive, and I didn’t anticipate that reaction at all. I like to think we could have gotten to know each other better if I’d let her pay her own tab. Shrug, whatever.

      …she freaked out as if I expected something from her because of it.

      Makes sense to me, really. Evidently you’d already been a big help to her, so to pay for her meal as if it was a (non-business) date was probably over the top to her. Nice sentiment, but…

        I hadn’t been of any help to her. We met up because I wanted her to help clean my apartment and she suggested that I could help her learn web stuff, but nothing had happened yet. Anyway according to Feynman’s “Surely You’re Joking” memoir, if you’re really trying for a date in that situation, you shouldn’t pay the other person’s share. It’s an interesting approach.

          I hadn’t been of any help to her.

          I feel like you’re underestimating yourself. You met for allegedly one job, she spilled upon another, and you turned out to be an unusually good listener upon such, with some actual, relevant tools that could help her.

          For her, that might have been rather mind-blowing right there compared to all the shit she’d likely slogged through already, and then you gave her… let’s just say the WRONG vibes, for someone who was trying to break away from ownership and all that shizzle.

          Put yourself in her place and think about how paying for the check likely came off to her.

          She heavily wanted INDEPENDENCE from controlling men at that exact point. She was literally proving to herself via her meal choices that she could be an independent person, able to scrimp and pay for her own.

          You unknowingly came along and shattered that for her.
          (and I probably would have done exactly the same, TBF)

    Yes, was 19 and frequented a bar underage. Waitress that worked at the bar was late 20’s, and had been flirting for a while. One night convinced her to go out with me and some friends. Night progressed started making out, then she asked how old I was. Told her, and she bailed. Few months later she moved to LA and never saw her again. A few years later I heard she was doing porn. Looked her up, and was not good. Really poor quality hardcore anal porn. Must not have worked out for her because only had like 2 scenes. Both were pretty disturbing, and kinda made me rethink porn in general for a bit. Same girl just kinda dead behind the eyes.

      I think the reason why I don’t have one is because I don’t watch straight porn. And not a lot of it.

      There’s lots of really predatory shit out there, especially predatory for women. Often times they’re drugged. I forget the site name but they produced a video with a girl who turned 18 that day, and drugged her/other girls/women.

    Just a reminder for everyone reading the comments here. You’re probably imagining everyone way more attractive than they actually were.

          The mean ones are pretty hot too. Probably the sneer. Maybe the look of disinterest… Wait. What were we talking about?

          You know, that actually describes it perfectly. Because what most people who others describe as 10’s kind of give me that uncanny valley feel.

          Yeah that’s a way better way of saying it

    Not in porn, but I saw a girl from my friend circle in high school as a stripper.

    I used to work on the road and as a result our crews spent a lot of time in hotels and bars across the country. One place we were at had a strip club, so after work we had stopped in for a few beer. While we were sitting there, the next show was about to start, a girl rushed by our table and towards the back part of the stage. Something about her seemed familiar but I wasn’t sure why until she started her bit and then it clicked. A few minutes later she recognized me and waved at me from the stage.

    After the show she came over and we talked for awhile and got caught up. She was talking about how a lot of guys used to make fun of how she looked but “look at me now! They wish they could get a piece of me with my new boobs!”

    It was nice to see she was happy. Personally I didn’t think she looked any better with a boob job but that’s just me. The foreman on one of the other crews was in love with her though and collected all of her posters, plastering them all over the work van, so I had to see those bolt ons every time I went to the other mill for the rest of the summer.

    One of my long time friends of 20+ years did a lot of sex work including films and images. I photographed her a million times, sometimes for her site and publicity. Sometimes just her feet. The sex industry is weird but interesting.

    I went in a date with a relatively popular OF model. I didn’t know until she shared it during the date. She was cute but there wasn’t chemistry and chatted as friends for a bit but then she tried to sell me on her OF, at which point I said no thanks.

    A handful of my regular friends do OF on the side.

    I popped into a Mexican restaurant for a beer and recognised our waitress from one of those casting sites. She seemed normal. I guess it was a one-off thing and she lived with the assumption that the geo-block for that site would keep locals from seeing it.
