An ex OnlyFans model has urged young girls in the industry to reconsider their decision to start selling x-rated content after saying she 'regrets' her choice.
The Australian woman made thousands selling her content online on the popular subscription platform, but has highlighted that it might not be all it's cracked up to be.
Now instead known for sharing her adventures while travelling and gym content on social media platforms, Ainslie Gardiner previously earned good money for creating 18+ content for OnlyFans, though it isn't her proudest decision.
Despite making around $7,000 (£5,500) by selling adult content, she has sent an urgent message to young women who may be making the decision to enter the adult industry.

She explained in a TikTok video that it might seem like a 'glamorous' way to make money, before you find yourself in a situation where you're not 100% comfortable.
Ainslie explained: “I think people really need to think hard about it before doing it. Once you start everything is on the internet forever,
“I wish I had set boundaries for myself as I did things that were beyond what I was comfortable doing as you were trying to keep up with what everyone else is doing,” she said.
The Australian also revealed that it's a lot more work, especially if you don't have a following.

“A lot of young girls think, ‘it’s going to be so easy to make money’, but in reality if you don’t have a following it’s a grind,” Ainslie further explained.
“It is a full time job within itself and I was working at the time and I was struggling to fit it all into my day.”
She said that she would set time in the day to talk to people to make money, but it ends up spiralling out of control, and you talk to people all day instead.
As she pointed out that you shouldn't be surprised if people you know in your everyday life signed up for adult content like she used to do, Ainslie also revealed that people she worked with or went to school with signed up for her content too.

Later on in her adult career, she signed up to an agency, but told others to be careful, as the third party will take a cut of what you earn, though she was transparent about her earnings, where she made thousands.
Ainslie further revealed: “You can make money on there if you want. I could only commit my time part-time. But if you’re doing it full time and really wanted to make money then you just have to consider all these other things.”
She urged women to ask themselves if that was who they wanted to be, and if doing adult content lined up with who they really were.
The Australian admitted that she only started producing this content to move overseas, and needed an online job that she could do from anywhere in the world.

She also confessed: “I wish I had thought about it much harder than I did because I regret it and I wish I didn’t do that,”
“It was a weird part of my life.”
Ainslie concluded: “Don’t always believe everything that you see online. All these people on TikTok are doing these cringey videos to go viral and you’re falling for it.”
