Confessions of a Former Only Fans Model

Think for yourself. Subscribe to The Free Press today: https://thefp.pub/3DmLpLi Taylor Fogarty once made $15,000 a month for making content on OnlyFans. She was a self-described “degenerate” party girl in Brooklyn—drinking, doing drugs, dating women, drifting between identities, and eventually signing up for sugar-daddy websites because, as she tells it, “It just felt normal.” Sex work was empowering, she was told. Men were going to objectify her anyway. Why not profit? Today, she’s a sober Catholic mother who believes that everything she once embraced—OnlyFans, hookup culture, atheism—was built on a lie. In this Confessions, Taylor walks through the slow unraveling of her twenties: getting sober, getting off OnlyFans, having a baby, and the moment she opened a copy of C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity intending to mock it—only to find herself convinced. We talk about the sugar-baby economy, the OnlyFans boom, nihilism among young women, sobriety, abortion, faith, and the cost of putting your body on the internet. “I was living for myself,” she says. “Now I’m living for something bigger. And I’ve never been happier.” This is a conversation about sex, money, ideology, shame, redemption—and what happens when someone changes not just her politics, but her entire understanding of who she is.
