摘要

Methods a cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,287 Spanish adolescents aged 12–19 years (58.1% girls) who completed self-reports assessing motives for OnlyFans use and SM use and measures of self-esteem, attachment, and impulsivity. Comparative analyses were conducted between OnlyFans users (n = 164) and a matched subsample of SM users (n = 168), and regression analyses examined the associations between these variables and OnlyFans use. Results a total of 12.75% of adolescents reported having used OnlyFans, mainly boys. Compared to SM users, OnlyFans users scored higher on impulsivity (p<.001) but did not differ significantly in self-esteem and attachment. Sexual arousal (47%) and curiosity (38%) emerged as the main motives reported by OnlyFans users. Regression analyses identified sexual arousal (β = 3.96, p<.001), curiosity (β = 0.87, p=.026), and impulsivity (β = 0.06, p=.008) as significant predictors, explaining 37% of the variance in OnlyFans use. Conclusions these findings suggest OnlyFans as an emerging sexual behavior among adolescents. Moreover, results indicate that sexually driven motives and impulsivity are significant associated with OnlyFans use, underscoring the need to incorporate them into preventive and educational strategies addressing online sexual behaviors in adolescents.
