A hard truth about our porn-obsessed culture is coming from an unlikely source: an OnlyFans model.<\/p>\n
Athena Pariss, an explicit content creator with more than one million followers across her social media, shared the tragic truth in a heartbreaking admission that began with a clip from the late conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n
In the clip, Kirk stated men \u201clook so lowly on OnlyFans girls.\u201d<\/p>\n
Affirming his words, Pariss\u00a0said in an Instagram Reel, \u201cAs someone being in the [OnlyFans] industry for the last three years, I truly think that it\u2019s a give and exchange,\u201d noting those who create sexual videos \u201cmake a deal with the \u2026 dark side\u201d that might bring financial freedom, \u201cbut in exchange, your love life suffers greatly.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was Pariss\u2019 words about the darkness of the pornography industry that were the most eye-opening.<\/p>\n
Listen to the latest\u00a0episode\u00a0of \u201cQuick Start\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe darkness that you open yourself up to when you do something like this \u2014 it comes in depression and anxiety and isolation,\u201d she said, words\u00a0echoed by former porn star turned pastor Joshua Broome. \u201cIt\u2019s all spiritual.\u201d<\/p>\n Her admission is particularly heartbreaking, given it appears she is still creating explicit content, a clear contradiction to a biblical view of sexuality and human value.<\/p>\n Pariss also mourned the fact she has been single for four years, a status she understands is likely here to stay as long as she continues in the pornography industry.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery high-value man that I have ever met, he has told me that he will never claim me,\u201d she grieved. \u201cThey will hook up with you; they will never claim you. They will never bring you home to their parents.\u201d<\/p>\n The content creator continued, \u201cI do agree that high-value men will look low on women [who do OnlyFans]. It makes you believe that you are an extremely low-value person, and that you are not capable of loving because of the career choice that you have made.\u201d<\/p>\n Over the last several weeks, Pariss has been posting faith-related content to her Instagram account, even sharing she has started reading the Bible.<\/p>\n She has offered a window into her own upbringing, admitting in one video she was abused as a child. She argued many young women enter the pornography industry as a result of low self-esteem and are looking for value \u2014 albeit in the wrong place.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s some sort of abuse that happened in childhood \u2014 whether it\u2019s sexual abuse, whether it\u2019s physical abuse, it\u2019s some sort of lack of unconditional love that you receive when you\u2019re a child and, when that manifests and you continue to have these experiences, you get older, and in your mind, you think that your sex is your value,\u201d Pariss explained.<\/p>\n In the caption of a video, she wrote, \u201cThe world promotes self. That we must be selfish, we must idolize ourselves. We must put our careers in front of relationships and families. But what does our soul crave? Community, family, unconditional love \u2026 maybe that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been so empty for so long \u2026 too busy filling worldly needs rather than soul. As I read the Bible, I understand more of what our soul craves.\u201d<\/p>\n Pariss\u00a0made headlines last year, after her father was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Her dad made a full recovery and the content creator said she was \u201cglad God gave me time to come and nurse my father back to health.\u201d<\/p>\n It should be noted it is not clear whether Pariss intends to continue creating explicit content.<\/p>\n As the number of voices facing big-tech censorship continues to grow, please sign up for\u00a0Faithwire\u2019s daily newsletter\u00a0and download the\u00a0CBN News app, developed by our parent company, to stay up-to-date with the latest news from a distinctly Christian perspective.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
