    I’m probably weird, but I’ll throw some bucks at an OF just because it’s cheap and I think the, uhh, content deserves some reward. But jfc the DMs are weird. No I don’t need to chat with the porn girl. Just put the porn in the bag and you can have $5.

      Yeah. I get ‘tipping the show’, but not the DMing part which so many seem to be after.

      The porn itself is a… uh, different itch, I’d say.
