Exposing Adult Entertainment Creators: The Number 1 Most Predatory Business Model
Dark psychology, exploitation, billions of dollars in extortion
“Give a man easy access to sustenance, pleasure, and lodging, and he will forget all of his ambitions” - Unknown
Let’s start with a question..
If I gave you everything you desired and needed, right now, what would motivate you to get up in the morning?
Nothing I imagine
Most human beings don’t see the full picture (and that might be you)
Fulfillment of desire has nothing to do with the fulfillment, but the process
How do you lose weight? Through exercise and a gym routine
How do you become the best poker player you can be? By playing it over and over against more and more advanced players
How do you outlast everyone in a marathon? By running them over and over, until your body is in the state where it can outrun everyone in the marathon
Why is this relevant? Because the process you followed to achieve the outcome, was the personal development you sorely needed
Without that journey, you are left with the end result, but none of the personal development
This causes a gap in your maturity and intelligence
Let’s use a person as a way to demonstrate this phenomenon
There’s this guy I’ve been following for a while
He in his early 20s, he’s a pro at high ticket closing (the business model where you close deals for big companies and get paid a large commission for persuading the person on the call to buy)
For instance, every heard of Solar?
The companies that install an entire solar system in your house so you don’t have to rely on the government for electricity
A payment like that is an insane amount of money
Close one deal and you can bank a good $5000, which is a very small percentage of what the person you’re closing for is getting
Now back to the guy..
He got so good at it, that he started an agency where he trains people how to do it, and now he’s in his early 20s, and he’s a millionaire
Now I’ve always been more mature than others my age, so I never saw the appeal of material objects or sleeping with plenty of woman etc.
But this guy, based on what’s on social media, he definitely did
I’d keep an eye on my timeline, and he’d constantly be showing off the girl he’s dating and how attractive she is, him shooting his own John Wick movie where he runs around with a real firearm, him being on yachts with plenty of beautiful woman etc.
This is the ego talking.
The masculine urge to do these things is strong in a man who has already achieved more than most people will in their life
If you’re a business owner who is very successful, you will have more testosterone in your blood, and this makes you do not so intelligent things, as a result of the ego
And ofcourse, woman also do these pointless things due to their ego, but not as much as men do
and THIS, is the phenomenon I was talking about
He’s achieved so much in his short life, but he’s yet to go through the process of maturity, for him to better understand himself
Over time I’ve seen his posts change, and be less about money and material gain, but more about purpose
This is maturity taking shape
And I’m not singling him out, since there’s plenty of young successful entrepreneurs who do exactly the same thing
And this is an excellent example of someone not going through the required personal development, that eventually leads them to the end result
Maybe you don’t have this problem, or maybe you do, but that doesn’t change the fact that this needs to be addressed, since the moral implications of the effects this phenomenon can have on the human psyche, is dangerous to say the least
What I’m about to expose, is the biggest SCAM that has existed, since the dawn of humanity (that 99% of people have no idea even is a scam)
Most people are not in control of their decisions, and I’m about to explain why
What Happens In The Brain During Euphoria
Every human being has experienced this feeling at least once in their life
The feeling as though you’re floating, the feeling that everything in life is perfect, the feeling as though bright colors are around you, or that nothing could possibly go wrong
You’re experiencing an overstimulation due to an overproduction of neurochemicals in your brain, that are flowing through your blood
The main chemicals causing this is mostly dopamine and serotonin
The main brain areas that are effected are the Nucleus Accumbens, the Prefrontal Cortex, and the Amygdala
In short, these areas amplify the psychological and biological effect euphoria has on you
Euphoria is fine, since its a natural response to a natural experience..
But when you start experimenting with unnatural ways to induce euphoria, that’s where the problems come from
Most (if not all), people regularly consume things that cause different levels of neurochemical production
The more you consume the more dependent you become
What Happens In The Brain When You Induce Euphoria Regularly
Euphoria is overstimulation. Every time you drink too much alcohol, every time you play too much videogames, every time you get a headrush from smoking or ingesting nicotine, every time you’re “flicking the bean”, you’re busy with a task that can turn habitual
Everything in moderation is fine, but some people have an amplified reaction even if they only consume something once
And of course, the more stimulating the substance or media, the larger the “hit” of neurochemical production on their first consumption or use
This means that there’s not definitive way to determine how your brain is going to react when introduced to a new ‘thing’ that can cause euphoria
This mean exposing yourself to anything new that can also be addictive if not consumed in moderation, there’s a chance you can get addicted at first exposure
But that’s only the start of the problem
While becoming addicted to something can be dangerous, the real reason its so dangerous, is the neural pathways in your brain that start changing
Have you ever consumed something, then when you’re stressed out your first thought process is to consume that same thing again, so you can feel better?
That’s not “normal”, what’s actually happening is this:
The brain's ability to change and adapt is called neuroplasticity (which can happen when you become overdependent or addicted to something)
Your brain develops a stress and withdrawal response
The brain's stress response becomes altered, so when you’re stressed out, you relapse.
Withdrawal symptoms, which are essentially the brain's attempt to rebalance neurochemical levels, can be really uncomfortable, further ensuring you keep struggling with the addiction
What I’m explaining to you right now, is a detailed breakdown of your brain chemistry actually changing, due to addiction
And before you think, “but I’m not addicted to anything”, this can happen on very low levels of dependance too
Like when you’re stressed out, and you start searching the cabinet for sweets
This is exactly what I’m talking about
Sure, in moderation its fine, but not all human beings are capable of keeping it at moderate levels
More stress = more sweets = more weight
This is how people pick up 8 kg out of nowhere
An example of your brain structure changing:
Amygdala and Hippocampus:
These regions can change as a result of addiction as well.
For instance, the amygdala might become more reactive to drug-related cues, increasing cravings or fear of withdrawal, while the hippocampus might alter memory processes to favor addiction-related memories
Why is what I’m saying relevant?
Because this is scientific proof that if used in the right ways, addictive media can change the brain structure and functioning of impressionable overdependent individuals
Imagine a 16 year old discovering pornography for the first time
He consumes it for 5 years straight, becoming more and more dependent on it, with his brain structure and chemistry changing to further enable his habitual consumption of pornography
Then he gets a girlfriend at 19 and he realizes he has erectile disfunction
This destroys his relationship, and he spends the next 5 years going to therapy and seeing a psychiatrist to get it fixed
This is happening all over the world
(and some people never go see health professionals about it)
But the real problem goes deeper than that
The Adult Media SCAM
Everything in moderation is fine, but what do you do if the thing you are consuming was designed to cause long term dependance?
That is exactly what adult media does
Pornhub and Onlyfans is estimated to collectively have produced over $120 billion dollars in revenue (so I’m sure you can understand what the incentive is)
True, everything that is stimulating, even if its just a hug, can produce neurochemicals and make you feel good..
But there’s a difference between doing pleasurable activities as part of your natural day to day life, and doing pleasurable activities because there is nothing that provides you with that level of stimulation
And this is where the opening question of this article came from
Adult media fulfills a base need
As I’ve discussed before, Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs puts lust at the 1st level of the needs hierarchy
What this means, is that a human being will prioritize fulfilling that need before any other need
That means lust as a need, is right next to thirst, and hunger
Above that is safety, above that belonging, and so and so forth
And to be clear, the founder of the hierarchy is Abraham Maslow, a world renowned American Psychologist, who’s theories and methods are still being taught to psychology students in universities today
As much as I disagree with universities and colleges, they still teach valuable information that form the basis of health professions throughout the world
So what does this mean for someone consuming adult media?
It means that when compared to other sources of stimulation, the only sources that produce the same level of, or higher level of neurochemical production, is hard drugs
And I mean heroine, cocaine, and any other substances you will never consume in your life because of how dangerous it is to even be exposed to
So tell me, how is it something of that level in stimulation, is freely available to anyone with an internet connection and a VPN?
The answer is simple → Because it is the easiest to sell
Let’s use my business model as an example
I:
Connect with them
Identify their problem
And if I can solve the problem, I offer them my service or a product
If they enjoyed working with me, and I legitimately helped them solve their problem, they might want to keep working with me if I offer
Any experienced marketer does this, using all kinds of vehicles such as email marketing, websites, google ads, referrals, word of mouth, a local cellphone database etc.
At no point am I drugging clients or exposing them to addictive substances to get their approval on step 4
Here’s what adult content does:
They find the adult media due to how addictive it is
They consume the adult media
They become dependent on it
They keep consuming it because due to neuroplasticity their brain now favors its consumption, and turns it into a habit
They can’t stop because then they are met with withdrawal symptoms, so they keep going back to it
It infects their life
They start spending irrational amounts of money on it
And depending on the person and how susceptible they are to it, it may ruin their marriage, destroy their relationship with woman in general, combine with their intrusive thoughts and turn them into a societal outcast, and all other kinds of things..
The amount of damage this can do is often irreparable, and as I’m sure you’ve already realized, this is the equivalent of roofying someone in a club to sleep with them
But its even worse than that, you know why? Because when compared to a real life situation it becomes almost horrifying, but people don’t realize it
So it’s been proven that the brain structure of an addict changes to sometimes irreparable states to favor compulsive use of the source of stimulation, now imagine that happened in real life
You meet me, I offer to sell you mushrooms and in exchange you go on a massive trip where you lose consciousness, and when you wake up, I carved a pattern into your arm that will take 6 months to heal..
You freak out, but then I tell you, if you want to keep getting mushrooms from me, you need to keep getting these marks on your arm
The mushroom are so addictive that you are now hooked, so you say yes
That’s exactly the same thing, the only difference is I didn’t even factor in the dependance changing your brain structure in favor of the source of stimulation
But without even adding something like, “every time I make a mark on your arm the next mushroom will feel even more amazing”, you can clearly see how insane this is
And yet the only difference is that you cannot see the physical change in your neural pathways (brain structure)
PS: That mark on your arm can heal in 6 months, but some addicts who are addicted for too long never recover their original brain structure
And I didn’t even list all of the neural pathway reconstruction that happens due to due longterm exposure to the addictive source
Btw, guess what? As your brain structure changes, your ability to make intelligent decisions when it comes to different things in life, gets weaker
So you’re literally getting dumber as you keep consuming from the source
“But Ian I don’t consume porn or excessive amounts of alcohol”
ANYTHING can change your neural pathways, provided it is addictive enough
And in case you haven’t realized this yet, disfiguring a person while they are unconscious is illegal, so this is the same as committing a crime
But for some reason its rampant, and nobody is policing it
Its almost as if this is a predatory business model that exploits human beings by overstimulating their neurotransmitters (the part of your brain that produces neurochemicals), and generates billions of dollars from it
Now I know what you’re thinking, “Ian, doesn’t that count for alcohol, and videogames, and smoking, and vaping, and basically every addictive substance known to man?”
And you’d be correct, but there’s been many tests on this, and videogames as well as other substances do not cause remotely the same level of societal problems
True, smoking should be addressed, and alcohol should be addressed, but these are recreational stimulators
Whereas adult content, by its very nature, is designed to get you hooked
Its not like drinking a nice glass of whine on a Saturday evening to relax, no..
Its like getting a massive headrush when you take finish a cigarette within a 30 seconds, and then you can’t help yourself so you need to get another one
This process then repeats itself for the rest of your life (its like that)
Its the difference between “can be used in moderation”, and “its highly unlikely to not turn into an overdependence or addiction”
And any rational thinking human being can spot the difference
And of course sex is no different
Why do you think hookup culture is so big in the West?
Its the same formula. All those neurochemicals entering the person’s bloodstream is euphoric, so they have more and more sex, they sleep around more and more
Until what happens? The men get someone pregnant, or the woman sleeping around has like 3 kids at the age of 22
Addiction and overdependence
If the US had brothels they would be PACKED
True, sex work is an age old profession, but only in the last say 100 years have we gained the knowledge to understand what the effect on the human brain is (and its not good)
O you thought that’s it? Haha no, it gets much worse
Are you familiar with Onlyfans?
I mentioned it before, but in the last 7 years its generated over 20 billion dollars
And if you think pornography websites were bad, this is so much worse
Why? Because they added another addictive substance
You see, there’s a list of reasons why people seek out adult media content, and its very basic
Lust
Sexual frustration
Loneliness
And most importantly, emotional connection
You see that last part wasn’t really implemented into the pornography site business model, until now that is
You see in the past adult media content ruined lives, sure, but it didn’t psychologically manipulate young impressionable men into throwing their lives away
In the past people would scroll pornography sites endlessly, and the site would make money from them consuming the content on the website, or paying for membership fees..
But onlyfans is MUCH worse
Because you remember number 4 I mentioned?
Yea well Onlyfans found a way to exploit that human need too
Because you often get people online saying things like, “But p#rn is so easy to come by, you just google it and you can see it”
And that’s accurate, only there was no connection between you and the person you’re looking at (until Onlyfans happened)
You see, on Onlyfans you can subscribe and get a membership fee, but you can also have 1 on 1 conversations with this beautiful woman you’re now paying (who btw often just hired a random guy to act like its her)
And she acts like your girlfriend, sends you nudes, and even emotionally comforts you
The perfect girlfriend, with the ideal body
Very appealing right?
Here’s 4 reasons why this is bad, often despite intentions
Men in the US (and other places on Earth), are desperately searching for human connection, but they lack social skills, so they mostly sit inside and play video games
The easy answer? Pay a random woman on the internet $6 per month, and that entire problem is solved → Because even if its all a lie, its easy to get caught up in the delusion
Media has become so easily accessible, that woman all over the world are turning into online prostitutes because of Onlyfans
It used to be that only specific woman who were scouted by agencies got into the adult industry, but now any 18 year old gorgeous girl can make an OF account, and start making money within a matter of days
And as much as they enjoy calling themselves “models”, let’s face it, Onlyfans is a brothel, and the “models” are private prostitutes broadcasting to a gigantic audience the size a brothel could never maintain
So basically, society has taken hardworking young woman who had a bright future in the career field, and turned them into prostitutes
And don’t get me started on the amount of moral implications here
Freud is turning in his grave with the amount of woman proving that having no father figure in their life will make them do very questionable things for validation from strange, often disgusting men
And because of the US teaching this lie that the more sexualized a woman is the more empowered she is, Onlyfans is pushed in the media, instead of psychologists coming in and explaining how this could lead to the downfall of western society
Some woman (and men), keep doing this type of work because they mean well
There’s been interviews with adult entertainers, and many of them have the false perception that they are helping the person relieve their stress by producing the content
Because to them dopamine release = helping people
And while this intention is pure, and they mean well, they did not read this article, nor do they have sufficient understanding of human psychology to know why what they are doing is a bad idea
Predatory Onlyfans Agencies
Since most onlyfans girls are fresh out of high school or university, and are just interested in making some money (let’s ignore their questionable morals for the time being), they often have no idea how to run an actual business
That’s because Onlyfans prostitutes aren’t business owners, they are just attempting to sell a product they put no actual work into (and it unfortunately works)
What OF agencies do is this: They are often experienced business owners who understand how marketing & sales works, so they teach them how to get more clients, and in return they take a revenue share
Sure, I’ve seen a lot of OF agency owners making easily $100,000 per month..
But the fact that they are doing this, is even worse than the Onlyfans business model, because the people helping them market themselves using this agency..
Actually understand how susceptible people are when they are in distress
Which means THEY KNOW what they are doing is immoral, predatory, and exploitative, but they are doing it anyway
If you want to find the definition of SCUM when it comes to business owners, then that’s exactly what these guys are
And in case your weren’t aware, Andrew Tate made his fortune at the start of his career using this business model (do with that info what you will)
But at this point I am ranting a bit
The bottom line is this..
Adult media is predatory, and causes the user to become dependent on it to live a life that SEEMS normal, while they are damaging their brain to such an extent they will struggle with psychological issues for as long as they live, sometimes without them even realizing it
Then to conclude, let me say this:
When I encounter a person who clearly has a problem they are experiencing, and I am in the position where I can help fix it..
That person is often in a state of emotional discomfort, and it is when a human being is the most susceptible to suggestion
Imagine you break your arm, and you’re rushed to the doctor
Your natural response will be to relieve the pain as fast as possible
For the doctor to help the person is not predatory, because that is his responsibility
But in the case of Adult Media, the person has no dependence, discomfort, or pain, no..
The adult media CREATES the discomfort, then exploits the consumer by teaching them an addictive behavior that ensures the discomfort is relieved a little bit, but never fully goes away
So imagine the doctor sees you, breaks your arm without you knowing, you meet him to get your arm fixed, then he gives you a serum that will heal the arm, but in 20 days the serum ensures your arm is broken again (because its designed that way), and what do you do?
You don’t realize what’s going on, so you go back and pay for more serum
That’s exactly what adult media is doing
Sounds like a crime right? That’s because it is
I haven’t published something in a while, so I technically threw this article together in a few hours, but I’ve been researching this subject for years, so it was pretty simple to write
I decided since I hadn’t published something in a while, I wrote this one for my loyal readers who are looking for something to digest, and for those who might be wondering where my next article is
I’m currently working on the biggest article I’ve ever produced
Its a step by step masterplan and roadmap to make 2025 (or the start of any year), the year you eliminate 99% of your problems
I’ve never done this much research before, so this is going to be huge
That’s what I’m currently working on
Stay tuned for when it drops, and I hope you found this article valuable
Before I leave you, do me a favor and like, share, and comment, on this article
You have no idea how much it means, or how much it helps
Cheers, Ian
PS: I’m taking 5 creators or writers, and teaching them every skill they need to charge their clients thousands of dollars, and build a 1 person business without paying anyone else, while helping them make anywhere from $1000-$15,000 PER MONTH
Stick with me for 110 days, and you will have a successful business
One of my clients recently hit $1600 per month doing what he loves, and he used to make $400 per month working a job he desperately wanted to escape
Interested? DM me the word “110” on twitter, linkedin, or substack, or reply to this with the word “110”, and I’ll be in touch ASAP
Or you can spend the next 18 months figuring it out yourself
Your call
Be on the lookout for that article, cheers, Ian
