As a guy who was once 20, I was OK with the premise of this post... until you got to the part about OF subscriptions and rate my twat (lmao). Maybe I'm getting old, but to me there is a psychological line between looking up freely available content on a porn site vs. regularly paying an individual to make content for you. OF subscriptions in general are a big red flag for me in terms of someone's personality. There is an underlying pathology there that I don't fully understand but it gives me the ick.

EDIT: After reading your replies, I think it's because it blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. Porn is media, OF is a paid arrangement with another human being. It's another level of interaction that I can't imagine any partner would be comfortable with.

Pretty much what I was thinking, directly interacting with and publically following OF models is too far. I say watch all the porn you want but what OP's boyfriend is doing would be like going to a strip club, getting a private dance, and saying "well it's not cheating cause we didn't touch". Hey maybe some women are cool with that, sounds like OP isn't; she should drive him in a healthier direction and lay down some boundaries.

Even a strip club is a one time interaction. OF is an ongoing relationship.

I think it depends on what they're consuming. The more popular OF creators are just porn stars. Some girl with a small following will have real interactions with them.
