Ever Wondered How Your Parents Would React if You Joined OnlyFans? I Found Out.

Sorry not sorry if I'm giving you anxiety just thinking about it.
ALEXIA WOODS AS TOLD TO HANNAH CHUBB
Ever Wondered How Your Parents Would React if You Joined OnlyFans? I Found Out.

I'll be honest: I never expected to end up in the sex industry. I always loved math and wanted to work in finance and I did for a bit. But for me, that meant a boring-as-hell desk job with a $28,000 starting salary, which I had to supplement with a side hustle at a restaurant. When the pandemic hit, I got laid off from the latter just after moving out of my parents' house and in with my boyfriend. I was paying my half of the rent with what felt like next to no income, and suddenly, that jokey line we've all heard people say "Ugh, maybe I should just quit and join OnlyFans"-made a whole lot of sense.

That is how, in the spring of 2020, Alexia Woods was born. She's the alias I created when signing up for OnlyFans and similar sites like Pocket Stars and Fansly. As Alexia, I post nude pics and spicy videos, upload pay-per-view content, and chat with fans via the sites' messaging tools. I also share PG-yet-suggestive content on Instagram and TikTok to bring people to my paid pages.

One thing I never do: IRL meetups or video calls. This is mostly for personal safety, but in the beginning. I had another reason. I wasn't ready for anyone-especially my parents to put a face to my fake name. (My boyfriend and sister were the only ones who knew, and by the way, they totally supported me.) That first year, I posted content that showed me only from the neck down.

THE NEW C-SUITE 2024

Progress. It’s a word that, in 2024, gets thrown around a lot. Especially when it comes to representation across all sorts of roles at all sorts of companies, including, crucially, at start-ups. Yet...people of color—and specifically women of color—still don’t often get the chance to even enter the conversation. Over the past few years, less than 1 percent of venture capital funding in this country has gone toward women of color entrepreneurs. (Making matters worse, funds that are geared toward supporting these women have become targets of anti-affirmative-action groups, forcing at least one to shut down entirely.)
