A TOP OnlyFans model from Flintshire says she isn't convinced by the platform's u-turn on sexually explicit content.

Last week, OnlyFans dropped a bombshell for thousands of models and sex workers with an announcement that it was to block sexually explicit photos and videos.

The subscription site, which reportedly had 130 million users at the time of the announcement, said it would still allow nudity but not more explicit content.

The announcement led to many of OnlyFans' one million content creators saying that they lost subscribers overnight.

The activity on rival platforms such as Fansly and Pocketstars as thousands of creators in the UK and worldwide looked for alternatives.

But on Wednesday, OnlyFans tweeted that it had "suspended the planned 1 October policy change".

It said: "Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard.

"We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned 1 October policy change.

"OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators."

Mold model Alaw Haf, 24, whose content was unlikely to fall foul of Only Fans proposed ban, spoke out on behalf of models and sex workers earlier this week.

Alaw, who is currently in the top 2.6 per cent of OnlyFans content creators, said she welcomed the change of heart but was not convinced it would be permanent.

She told the Leader and Free Press: "I can’t believe it! I think it’s going to end up being u turned back to being banned. They’ve only used the word 'suspended' and they’re being purposely vague.

"I think it’s only going to be delayed."

The former gym worker, who graduated from Liverpool University with a degree in law, makes most of her content in her parents' home and garden as well as scenic North Wales locations like Talacre Beach, is saving to buy her first home.

She added that some of the comments she had seen in the wake of the initial announcement, showed that models and sex workers still faced judgement for their choices.

She said: "It’s not fair. I think during the whole social media uproar about the topic, people have forgotten about the fact that models and sex workers are actually human at the end of the day.

"Some of these creators have bills to pay, children to feed, families to support and mortgages to pay.

"I have even had some trolling messages like “See you in Maccies in October,” when there has been no need.

"I hope it isn’t brushed aside by people either, as it 'wasn’t a real job anyway,' as a lot of creators are listed as self employed or limited companies. If HMRC sees it as a taxable income, then that is a job, people are potentially going to be losing their jobs."

She added: "Now it seems like sex work and porn is being frowned upon and again showing that the stigma around the topic still exists.

"I have met so many people online and in person that are content creators of explicit levels and they are normal, great people, why does what someone does for a living, as long as it is legal and not harming anyone, something to judge or not be accepted by society."
