FAQ's
What is what?
In these FAQ’s you will find a lot of interesting questions about topics that Onlyfans is facing or has already been asked.
Sexting is private communication about sexual topics via messenger. In the narrower sense, it is dirty talk for mutual arousal. Very often, so-called “nelfies” (naked pictures) are also sent to each other.
On Onlyfans, the creators usually calculate the time and specify it in the price which the subscriber then has to pay as a tip. Images and videos may be included in the price, but are often charged separately by the creator.
Verbal eroticism (“dirty talk”) is a sexual practice and refers to the use of eroticizing or very descriptive and direct words before or during sexual intercourse to increase sexual stimulation.

Paypal is not available as a payment method on Onlyfans!
According to Onlyfans, Paypal is not expected to be integrated as a means of payment in the future.
No, according to Onlyfans’ guidelines, Paypal may not be used as an alternative means of payment.
Paypal also does not allow the sale of explicit content, or rather erotic and pornographic content, according to its terms and conditions. In addition, Paypal freezes an account very quickly and retains the funds received for up to 6 months for security reasons.
And if you want to hide your identity, Paypal is the wrong place for you. This is because the buyer is shown the seller’s contact details there.
Currently, only credit cards or debit cards are offered in Germany and the rest of Europe. Unfortunately, this has the disadvantage for Germany that there are fewer solvent subscribers, since in Germany less than 40% pay by credit card on the Internet.
We also launched a survey on Onlyfans, which shows the preferred means of payment and clearly shows that credit cards are an unpopular means of payment in Germany.
There are various reasons why you might want to send a mass message to your fans or to a specific group of people. Maybe you want to announce a live stream and let your fans know about it. Or you might want to send premium content in a message – hidden behind a paywall – that you want as many fans as possible to open. Whatever you’re planning, it’s easy to send mass messages on OnlyFans. To do this, click on the message symbol and then on the plus symbol. You can send your message to all your fans or to the people on a specific list.
A pay-per-view message is exactly what it sounds like: Content that you pass on via message and for which your fans pay. PPV messages are photo or video messages that are sent to your subscribers and remain blocked until they pay the price you have set for this message. You can send a pay-per-view message to all subscribers at once, or only to a single subscriber.
dick=Penis rating=Rating.
The penis is rated in the dick rating.
This can be done via photos, videos or voice messages.
The fan with a penis takes pictures of his penis and sends these penis pictures – dickpics – to the creator with whom the penis rating is agreed.
Such photos are often simply sent out of the blue, so it is advisable to ask whether the fan would like a rating.
Subscribers for Subscribers
So subscribers for subscribers.
In this case, one or more images are published on your own account by another creator with a link or @link and the text of your choice. This gives you the chance to get new subscribers.
But be careful! Many subscribers see this as spam and quickly leave your profile because they only want to see you. If you don’t overdo it, it can also be the opposite.
You should also make sure that your exchange partner has an account of the same size or larger. Anything else makes no sense.
Note: For our permanent customers, the whole thing makes almost no sense, as they share the German subscribers through us.
Like for Like
Especially at the beginning it is not uninteresting to do this with other Onlyfans Creators. Here the heart is purely exchanged for a heart.
Some topics (or threads) are tagged NSFW on forums like Reddit or elsewhere on the internet. And not without reason: NSFW means “Not Safe For Work”.
NSFW content depicts violence, nudity and other vulgarity.
According to Onlyfans, there is no way to download or copy the images. But let’s face reality! There are indeed ways and means of downloading protected images. We could list them here, but for security reasons we will not disclose them.
Fetish & BDSM Questions
Top and bottom
Dom who has the active role in a BDSM act usually characterized by the exercise of pain, humiliation or submission. The partner referred to as the bottom or sub voluntarily exposes themselves to such actions for a certain period of time and is the so-called passive part. The bottom is often the one who essentially determines the action, for example by setting boundaries and taboos. This framework is generally determined by extensive communication in the run-up to the actual action, in which safety-related aspects such as safeword, health restrictions, etc. are also discussed.
Financial domination (also known as findom) is a fetish lifestyle, specifically a practice of dominance and submission in which a submissive (money slave, finsub, pay pig, human ATM or money pig ) gives gifts and money to a financial dominant ( money mistress, findomme, goddess or money domme ).
The relationship can often be accompanied by other practices of BDSM and D/s relationships, such as erotic humiliation, but there can be virtually no further intimacy between the individuals. The relationship between the submissive and the dominant can take place exclusively via online communication, but it is not uncommon for the submissive to accompany the dominant when shopping and paying with the submissive’s money.
Such a relationship between individuals can be similar to, but clearly different from, relationships based on the Total Power Exchange. In the latter, among many other aspects of her autonomy, the submissive may also leave all her money saved and earned to the dominant, and it is not uncommon for both partners to also have an intimate relationship. Financial dominance can also be distinguished from sugar baby relationships, in which a sugar daddy / sugar momma offers the “baby” gifts and money in return for a relationship, usually without explicit elements of dominance. With financial domination, the subordinate expects no sexual contact in return for the money, and often there is no physical contact between the two parties.
Online slave – How the fetish works via the Internet
(This is just a general information, please read the original OnlyFans rules about this topic, what is allowed and what is not)
Online slave / enslavement
If you want to live out your submissive fantasies and predispositions as a slave, you need a dominatrix.
What attractions does online enslavement offer, both for the slave and the mistress?
Enslavement online or in real life?
Whether a slave wants to hand himself over to his mistress virtually or in real life is primarily a question of type.
Many dominatrices offer both types and also make it possible to start the enslavement with online education and later move on to real meetings and intensify it. (Real meetings not allowed according to OnlyFans!)
For enslavement, it is not necessary to have physical contact for subjugation.
Professional dominatrices know this.
The great advantage of online education is that the physical distance between dominatrix and slave is irrelevant, as the education only takes place via web chat, messenger, cell phone or telephone.
Advantages of online enslavement:
Anonymity,
No real abuse
low commitment,
simple change possible,
first BDSM experience
Basic rules for online slaves
Regardless of whether you are enslaved online or in real life, slaves should always adhere to a few basic rules:
-Respect and courtesy towards the dominatrix
-Punctuality
-Patience when the mistress has no time
-the slave pays his mistress for his services
-The mistress makes all the rules
-you are on first name terms with the mistress
Punishments are also the order of the day for breaches of the rules
The slave must provide evidence of the execution of orders, selfchastisement and punishments by means of photographs.
Online education is the best option for men who don’t dare to go to a real dominatrix
Reasons of the dominatrix:
The dominatrices also have different reasons for offering online education.
Basically, dominatrices put their own fetish, their own lust, first.
They like to have power over other people and can thus live it out.
Processes and special features of online education (as an example)
Corporal punishments applied by the announcement of the gentlemen must be proven via video, photo or live session.
This leads to the slave documenting his self-chastisement with photos.
The mistress can also verbally punish, degrade and humiliate the slave.
Especially in online parenting, it is important that wishes, goals and taboos are regularly discussed with the slave so that both sides know where they stand.
What should a dominatrix look out for when choosing a slave?
The prospective slave should be respectful, address the dominatrix politely and always remain polite. Only then does he have a chance. Mass messages in which only the name of the dominatrix is exchanged are also ineffective, as this is usually immediately recognized as dubious.
What should a slave look out for when choosing a mistress?
Professional ladies have a picture of themselves on their homepage or in their classified ad that does not come from somewhere on the Internet.
No matter which type of enslavement you choose, the most important thing is to express your wishes and taboos and to build a long-term, trusting relationship with your dominatrix.
It is much more interesting and exciting to build a relationship with a dominatrix than to have many individual sessions with different mistresses.
Explanation follows
Spanking [ˈspæŋkɪŋ] refers to hitting the clothed or uncovered buttocks; in a broader sense also on neighboring body parts such as the thighs, back or external genitalia. The blows are delivered with the flat of the hand or with an object such as a cane, whip, birch rod, carpet beater, hairbrush, paddle, martinet, tawse, bullwhip or similar.
Questions about the trade
Please note: These frequently asked questions cannot replace a tax consultation or advice and of course do not answer all questions. Regardless of this, you should help in the context of assessing whether your activity as a creator or influencer is purely a hobby or must be reported to the tax authorities.
Please read about taxes and the tax office! This is because it depends on your sales and other factors.
We know how complex German tax law is.
Even experts who deal with this on a daily basis find it difficult to maintain an overview.
In the following, we explain from the perspective of the tax authorities the conditions under which a tax liability arises and what you need to consider as a creator.
In particular, we will address the following questions:
- Which types of tax generally come into question?
- What obligations do I have to fulfill as a creator?
- What can happen if I do not comply with these tax obligations?
- What about gifts or free products?
- Where can I get more information?
What types of tax are even possible?
Income tax
Trade tax
Value added tax
Whether you have to pay income tax, trade tax and VAT at all as the creator of your activity depends on the relevant individual tax laws, i.e. the Income Tax Act, Trade Tax Act and VAT Act.
The requirements for tax liability and the associated legal consequences are very different in the context of these types of tax. We therefore examine them separately.
Do I have to pay income tax?
Are you a regular creator? The tax authorities will then assume that you are earning income from a business because you carry out your activity independently – and therefore not as an employee – repeatedly and with the intention of making a profit. To do this, it is sufficient to intend to generate income that is higher than your expenses (income minus expenses equals profit equals income from business operations).
So be careful!
Likewise, promotional gifts such as goods, services, etc. are revenue.
The income from your work as a creator or influencer is essentially subject to this income tax. However, you should only submit an income tax return if your income – together with any other income (e.g. as an employee) – exceeds the basic annual tax-free allowance of EUR 9,408 (2019: EUR 9,168) in the calendar year.
Does your income from all activities exceed the basic tax-free allowance?
- No: In principle, no income tax is payable.
- Yes: This does not mean that you actually have to pay income tax.
Nevertheless, there are some things that you should now take into account, in particular the obligation to submit an income tax return.
Income tax
Have you already registered with the relevant trade office?
Do you keep records of your income and expenses?
Have you sent the questionnaire for starting a commercial activity to your tax office?
No? However, these are, for example Duties that will now come your way.
In addition, there is now also an obligation to submit an income tax return electronically. In this, you should state the profit from your activity as a creator on the so-called Annex G. If you earn income from other activities (wages from an employment relationship, etc.), you should declare this on the forms provided for this purpose.
If your total income (after deducting certain deductible costs under the Income Tax Act, e.g. pension contributions deductible as special expenses) exceeds the annual basic tax-free allowance, you will pay tax.
By the way:
When we talk about “income” in the context of your Creator activity, we are referring to the profit – as a result of which your income is negative in relation to your operating expenses associated with your Creator activity. For example, you should not forget your monthly affiliate marketing and its income.
As a rule, the profit is to be calculated by means of a so-called revenue surplus calculation (EÜR).
Do I have to pay trade tax?
Your activity as a creator is basically also subject to trade tax.
Trade tax is only payable if your trade income (rounded down to the nearest hundred euros) is higher than 24,500 euros. This trade income is calculated from your profit, increased by certain additions and reduced by certain deductions.
Is your trade income above 24,500 euros?
- No? No trade tax is payable.
Irrespective of this, income tax and sales tax can of course accumulate under the conditions described. - Yes? You must pay trade tax and send your tax authorities an electronic trade tax return.
Irrespective of this, the amount of trade tax to be paid is ultimately determined by the municipality in which you operate your business using the assessment rate applicable there. However, the trade tax paid will be credited to you as part of your income tax assessment – which means that, under certain conditions, you will not be economically burdened at all.
Do I have to pay sales tax?
You are an influencer and entrepreneur within the meaning of the Value Added Tax Act if you generate income independently and sustainably (intention to repeat!). In this case, it doesn’t matter whether you want to make a profit: as a VAT entrepreneur, you should always submit a VAT return for the calendar year!
If your turnover plus the tax due on it did not exceed EUR 22,000 in the previous calendar year (until 2019: EUR 17,500) and is not expected to exceed EUR 50,000 in the current calendar year, there are some simplifications for you.
Were your sales below the specified limits?
- Yes? You are a small business for VAT purposes. Subsequently, no VAT will be charged on your sales. You are not entitled to show VAT in your invoices or to deduct input tax from invoices from other companies. There are simplifications in the context of invoicing and you only need to declare your sales once a year.
Last but not least, you have the option of waiving the simplified tax assessment for small businesses. - No? You are a VAT (regular) entrepreneur and must issue invoices for each of your services in which VAT (19% or 7%) is shown.
- There are also other obligations.
Value added tax
Have you ever dealt with this correct invoicing according to the requirements of the Value Added Tax Act?
Do you know exactly what an advance VAT return is?
There is also a lot to consider in terms of VAT.
First of all, it is important for you to know that, as far as possible, 19% VAT is always charged on your sales, which you have to pay to the tax office (exceptions are possible for certain sales). In return, you can have the VAT from invoices from other entrepreneurs (input tax) refunded by the tax authorities.
You are obliged to send the turnover and input tax electronically to your tax office in a monthly or quarterly advance VAT return.
In it, you calculate your tax liability (difference between sales tax collected and input tax paid) yourself and pay it to the tax office without being asked.
Perhaps you have already received invoices from marketing agencies etc. in the past which were marked “credit note”?
Here your business partners have created your invoice for you – this is also possible in this form. You should also transfer the sales shown therein to your advance return to the tax office.
Are you testing new products, staying in hotels for free or being invited to events or complete trips?
These are benefits in kind that are subject to income tax and VAT.
In the event that you have to return goods that are of very low value or the company you are working with takes care of taxation for you, there may again be deviations from this rule.
It is usually not so easy to determine the amount of tax to be paid on benefits in kind (unless the usual price of the item received is known).
Because:
This area of social media is increasingly attracting the attention of the tax authorities, who can gain a good insight into your activities through internet research or requests for information from your business partners.
If you do not comply with your tax obligations, you risk not only having to pay these unpaid taxes, but also, for example, having to pay a tax fine. high interest payments, fines and in extreme cases even a prison sentence (tax offense).
Here applies:
You should also document something like this.
The VAT charged by OnlyFans is paid directly and in full to the competent Onlyfans tax authority.
Following our change in VAT treatment, which was introduced on July 1, 2020, OnlyFans is responsible for collecting VAT in relation to payments from fans.
The payment of VAT to the tax authorities depends on your VAT registration status, as described in the following question.
VAT is a consumption tax that is added to the value of goods or services purchased in the European Union and the United Kingdom. The specific tax rate varies depending on the country. As the name suggests, the tax is added to the price of the product or service at the time of purchase and paid directly to the relevant tax authority.
