By Billy Montgomery While platforms like OnlyFans have become increasingly popular as lucrative opportunities for content creators, former adult film star “Dominique Simone” urges models to approach them with caution. Drawing from her extensive experience in the adult film industry, Simone warns that the platform's fast-paced success can present hidden challenges, ranging from privacy concerns to the potential long-term impact on both personal and professional lives.
Her advice serves as a crucial reminder that, while the potential for financial gain is tempting, creators must carefully consider the risks and take steps to protect themselves as they build their online presence.
Simone made a lasting impact on the adult film industry during the 1990s, starring in hundreds of films and earning her place in both the AVN Hall of Fame and the Urban X Hall of Fame in 2007. Since retiring, she has focused on her role as a mother of four while maintaining an active presence in the entertainment world through appearances in music videos, mainstream films, and on social media platforms.
A Changing Landscape
When asked about the most significant changes in the industry since her time as a performer, particularly with advancements in technology and the rise of online platforms, Simone offered insightful observations.
"I think with platforms like OnlyFans, models have a bit more control, but that doesn’t mean they are 100 percent safe," Simone explained.
The New Era of Self-Control
The advent of platforms like OnlyFans has significantly altered the dynamics of the industry, granting performers unprecedented control over their content and earnings. The open-source platforms allow performers to reach a global audience without leaving their homes.
"With social media, you can market yourself to a broader audience, whether in Europe, Japan, or anywhere,” Simone said. “We didn't have that opportunity; we depended on production companies to market us."
Navigating the Modern Landscape
Like many content creators, many OnlyFans users produce content on their phones, but others like the values that come from working with professional photographers and videographers. For those entering the industry today, Simone stressed the importance of safety and caution.
"Be careful where you meet people. Don’t go to someone’s residence, studio, or even their office without taking someone with you. It’s easy to end up in a dangerous situation," Simone advised.
Despite the challenges, Simone remains optimistic about the future of the industry, recognizing the positive impact of technological advancements and changing societal attitudes.
"It’s not taboo anymore. Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon with OnlyFans and other platforms. The industry is more accessible and less stigmatized, which is a good thing," she noted.
Looking Forward
Dominique Simone's career, marked by both achievements and challenges, serves as an inspiration for many. As she continues to engage with her audience and work on new projects—including promoting her memoir, A Star is Porn, and potentially turning it into a movie—she reflects on her journey with gratitude and a sense of accomplishment.
Simone's insights and advice offer valuable lessons for both seasoned professionals and newcomers in the adult film industry, emphasizing the importance of control, safety, and resilience in navigating this ever-evolving landscape.
