This is a really good point. Who TF is paying for this? I recently read about a woman who makes $4MM a month.
I wonder if the USD$4MM is just boasting and not real, but I do know it is possible to make "okay" money.
I know a friend of a friend - the guy
iswas and expat engineer in Thailand. Working for a Thai company, so not US standard salary, but doing okay. He met a Thai bargirl, and she opened an only fan account. Guess it did okay, so she convinced her friend to join.Between the two of them, they are doing well enough that the guy quit his job and is "managing" them. Dont know any more than that (how much they make etc., their account, etc)
But, 1000 people at $5/month............
Kind of like streamers, where people pay money to watch people play video games. Some make some decent money.

The 20-year-old, who went viral earlier this month when she said she has made over $43 million on the adult entertainment platform, maintains that her devout Christian faith remains part of her identity.
"The Lord's very forgiving, and he put me on here. He put me on earth for a reason and I'm just living every day," Rain told People in an interview published Dec. 11. "If this wasn't meant for me, I wouldn't be here right now."

Fine. Does that maintain Christian values?

No, I would have to say that in my opinion a cocktease is not upholding Christian values. But I’m also not going to say that somebody else is not living up to Christ’s values, especially since he told me specifically not to.

What about a longer Google search, does that turn up anything good?
Purely in the interests of academic research, obviously.

14 Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! 16 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh.” 17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18 Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the [j]immoral man sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a [k]temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from [l]God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

Great. Now show me where she’s prostituted herself?
And there’s also the whole “Judge not”, “Let he who is without sin”, and all that.
As those were the actual words of Jesus, I tend to hold them a little higher in determining Christianity than the words of Paul.
Of course, I also notice that Paul doesn’t even speak to this.
The girl posts some pictures of herself scantily clothed. I’ve noticed plenty of times that you have admired photos of healthy young ladies…

California law, which is more liberal than other states, says: Penal Code 647(b) PC: prostitution is defined as the exchange of money, goods or services for sex or lewd conduct. It’s important to note that the sex or lewd conduct sometimes doesn’t actually need to take place for the act to be considered “complete.”
What did Jesus say about lewdness or lascivious conduct? Here's something from the earliest of the synoptic Gospels, Mark...
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
That's KJV. If we go back to the Greek, the word for lewd or lascivious is ἀσέλγεια. Strong (766 if you want to look it up yourself) defines that as "licentiousness, debauchery, sensuality and lewdness".
Back to Jesus and what he said in Matthew 5 ...
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
So, if a believer is leading someone into sin, what did Jesus say about that in Matthew 18?
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
The NASB may be a little clearer... 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it [d]would be better for him to have a [e]heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Now, some folks think that Jesus is speaking strictly about children, but the majority of Biblical scholars, looking at the chapter in context, believe when he references the "little children", Jesus is referring to all believers as His little children and that no believer should intentionally lead other Christians into sin.
Therefore, what have we established?
- Jesus states that lewd or lascivious behavior is Evil. Period. Full stop.
- Jesus sates that lusting after a woman is the same as having sex with her in the physical sense and is sinful.
- Jesus states that intentionally leading believers into sin deserves a millstone around your neck and drowning (death).
I could go into the "What part of the Bible do you believe?" argument and the fallacy of cherry-picked theology. Or I could go to the argument that some people make, "if Jesus didn't say it, it's not true", but you and I both know that's an extremely weak argument for several reasons. One reason being that much of what Jesus said can be tied directly back to the OT and He is simply repeating what the Jews already knew. Another reason is that the writers of the New Testament wrote that which was inspired (or as Timothy puts it, God-breathed) by God. As such, it is authoritative and I believe inerrant.
