Update: since publication, Erica Amore has reached out and asked that we clarify that she does not identify as a sex worker.
It’s been a good 10 years since Erika Amore last had a Valentine, despite being hot AF. She makes bank on OnlyFans but can’t seem to find someone IRL to return the love she has to give. The content creator claims it’s because the men she’s dated only see her as a living fetish—not a real person. Is it the size 36K boobs, or is it the fact that men cannot fathom being with a woman who fully owns her sexuality?
When it comes to frustration in love, Erika isn’t the lone content creator on the struggle bus. Countless OnlyFans creators report similar dating woes. The issue? Their potential partners crave the fantasy they present online, but when it comes to accepting the real person behind the content? They fall short. They see the OnlyFans model—not the complex human being bringing her to life—and then bail when they realize their new sweetie pie isn’t a 24/7 freak in the sheets. So many people love consuming adult content but can’t seem to take the woman creating it seriously in a relationship.
Too often, people assume that dating a sex worker means unlimited access to all their sexual fantasies. “Oh, so you have an OnlyFans? That means we can have threesomes every weekend, right?”—Um, nope. Creating adults-only content is a JOB, not just a livestream of someone’s over-the-top sex life. The lack of respect for the actual person behind the content is pretty heartbreaking. Imagine dating someone who has zero interest in your hobbies, your personality outside of your sex worker persona, or your dreams for the future—unless, of course, those dreams involve them putting you in handcuffs. That’s not even enough emotional depth for summer-fling material.
Newsflash: sex workers are people, and they’re more than the online persona you pay to see. They deserve the same chance at love as everyone else. They deserve to be wooed, to have someone think their smile lights up a room. At the very least, they deserve the respect of going on a date with someone who wants to know the woman behind the content that so many people eagerly subscribe to month after month. Dating a sex worker doesn’t mean free content or wild fantasies—it means being in a relationship with a human being, just like anyone else.
Erika, we hope someone steps up to the plate soon and that this is the last Valentine’s Day you spend exclusively with your subscribers. Goodness knows you deserve someone who sees beyond your—truly incredible—tits and loves the woman underneath.
