Groundbreaking Spanish research reveals that children as young as twelve possess sophisticated understanding of adult content platforms like OnlyFans, viewing these digital marketplaces as viable alternatives to traditional employment while demonstrating alarming normalization of sexualized content consumption and creation. The comprehensive study involving 164 high school students aged twelve to sixteen exposes how hypersexualized digital culture fundamentally alters adolescent perceptions of economic opportunity, self-worth, and sexuality in ways that demand urgent attention from Thai parents, educators, and policymakers. These findings carry profound implications for Thailand, where social media adoption reaches extraordinary levels while conversations about online safety and youth mental health gain unprecedented urgency throughout communities nationwide.

A new study has raised alarms among parents, educators, and policy-makers after revealing that adolescents as young as 12 not only know about OnlyFans but view it as a potentially appealing and empowering way to earn money, setting it alongside or even above traditional work or educational pathways. The research, conducted in Spain and published in Sexuality & Culture, uncovers how the normalization of erotic content platforms is influencing how young people, especially girls, perceive economic opportunity, self-worth, and sexuality (PsyPost).
