A woman whose made a completely new career by joining OnlyFans has revealed just how much work goes into creating content for the platform – from teeth whitening to hunting down essential props.
Destiny Valentina, 21, from Weston-Super-Mare, has worked on the adult platform for two-and-a-half years.
She spoke exclusively to Daily Star to share her journey to working in the adult industry after she was furloughed during lockdown.

Since then she's quit her job to work in the adult industry full-time as she said it "brought her spark back."
As well as creating content for OnlyFans, she also works to promote body positivity.
Destiny creates TikTok videos in which to show people what it's like to be a plus-size woman on the platform.
She also opened up about just how much work goes into sustaining a presence on the site.
Even though she said it can be seen as a "taboo job", she claimed some people don't realise just how much work goes into creating sustainable content to keep people engaged.
She said: "There is a huge amount of work that goes in to creating content – it’s all about the small details as well.
"So you have the preparation on yourself – hair, nails, makeup, waxing, tan, pedicures, teeth whitening etc, which leads you onto outfits and making sure you have lots of different varieties.
"We also have to work out what angles and lighting to do to fit the room and theme, and props we might be using."
The OnlyFans creator said you're also always thinking about potential locations, as sometimes the job requires you to travel.
"Then there is the actual making of the content," she added.
"This can be a few hours work in itself and – finally – we have the editing and cropping to make it all seamless and smooth. That is just one side of OnlyFans.
"The other side is the marketing side which is like a full-time job on its own without the content shooting.
"It is a very hard job as you have to work at it constantly.
"There is no break, which can be daunting but – as long as you plan and organise what needs to be done – it is doable, just like any other job.
"But it is super fun and I wouldn’t have it any other way."
Destiny loves the job so much that she completely packed in her previous job to make her new-found love a career.
She said body positivity is important to her, so being able to shine a light on this through her work is also great.
The content she needs to produce is all about being sexy and confident, and she said she needs to feel this way to be able to reflect it in her work.
Destiny added: "When I was a young teenager I was a size 8 with an hourglass figure, but as I got older and took contraception that changed, so for a while I lost my confidence.
"After a few years I started to accept the change, and started to fall in love with myself again.
"OnlyFans has helped me, because it gave me my spark back and helped me build up the courage to leave a toxic situation."
Even though she loves her job she said anyone who is thinking of joining OnlyFans, or doing any other sort of sex work, needs to do their research before diving in.
She said "it isn't for everyone" so it's important you do your research beforehand, and weigh up the pros and cons to see if it's right for you.
"We all know whatever you put out there stays out there, so research is your best friend," she said.
"There are so many friendly girls and guys in the industry that can help with any questions.
"I would also say you need to have thick skin as you will get hate for it because it is a taboo job, but nowadays you get hate for everything, so take no notice of it.
"If this is the job for you then welcome to the industry, and have all the fun you want with it."
