Trace Cyrus, the older brother of pop star Miley Cyrus and guitarist for the band Metro Station, has issued a warning about pornographic sites like OnlyFans, saying it was more important to build lasting relationships and a family. While he has drawn the ire of many due to his remarks, Live Action founder and CEO Lila Rose has made similar comments when conversing with other guests on the Whatever podcast \u2014 which often features OnlyFans participants on its panel.<\/p>\n

“A good man and a family will bring you more happiness…”<\/h4>\n

Cyrus has worked as a songwriter and musician, most notably for the former pop-rock band Metro Station, which scored a major hit with the song “Shake It<\/a>.” The song was nominated for, and won, numerous awards, though the band eventually broke up; since then, Cyrus has focused on a solo career, releasing indie albums.<\/p>\n

Last month, Cyrus released a statement<\/a> on X (formerly known as Twitter), decrying the rise of OnlyFans, which has turned many people \u2014 both women and men \u2014 into at-home pornographers.<\/p>\n

“There’s so many girls that do OnlyFans that have lost their chance of ever settling down with a good guy with morals,\u201d he began. \u201cThey will try and call those men insecure for having standards. They get a lot of attention from guys on OF [OnlyFans] so they think they have options. But any guy who is so desperate to see sexual content they are willing to pay for it is a desperate loser. A lot of successful guys will sleep with those girls but they don\u2019t want to wife them.”<\/p>\n

He then added that it can be harder for OnlyFans creators to find a serious, long-term relationship, which he said would lead to a more lonely life, and that men aren’t interested in a permanent relationship with a pornographer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s because men see the value in those girls strictly for sex. They don\u2019t look at those women and equate their value as a future wife, mother, or loyal partner,” he continued. “I know some amazing girls that are genuinely good people that do OF. I just think this independent mindset of not needing a man is extremely toxic and leads to a very lonely future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cyrus concluded that he hopes more girls will speak up about their experiences with OnlyFans, to warn others from getting involved with pornography. \u201cHaving a good man and a family will bring you more happiness in old age than OF ever could,” he said.<\/p>\n

His comments quickly drew anger<\/a> from others in the OnlyFans community, such as Farrah Abraham, an alum of MTV\u2019s Teen Mom franchise. “Yet men have OF accounts with marriage, family, etc. So can [a] woman,” she tweeted. “Balance and brand is real. Forget limited, insecure mindsets @tracecyrus.\u201d Abraham has an OnlyFans account, and is a pornographic actress.<\/p>\n

Others quickly piled on. One claimed Cyrus was “devaluing [OF creators’] existence” and others claimed they were “married” and “happy” with their careers in sexual self-exploitation:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of female sex workers married with families, businesses, educations, homes etc. Some are married to sex workers and some are married to non-sex workers. We are valuable humans. Stop devaluing our existence with your platform.<\/p>\n
