Boyfriend who takes pictures for his partner's online 'girlfriend experience' explains why he does it

Boyfriend who takes pictures for his partner's online 'girlfriend experience' explains why he does it

Sharna Beckman's other half is a lot more understanding than most blokes

You might have seen Sharna Beckman's sexy snaps on your social media feed, but have you ever stopped and thought about the bloke who is behind the camera?

The 27-year-old might offer a laundry list of men the chance to see what it's like for her to be their girlfriend online, but it's her other half Ricky who has her heart.

The former dental assistant, from Queensland, Australia, met her real-life boyfriend on the way home from a night out back in 2021 - but he was initially 'unsure' of her saucy side hustle, while his pals weren't too keen on the idea of it either.

She had launched her OnlyFans page just months earlier, which soon escalated into her offering blokes the 'girlfriend experience'...so you can imagine this somewhat impacted the honeymoon phase of their relationship.

"We've had parts in our relationship where it has affected it," Sharna said during an appearance on the TV series Love Don't Judge. "I would be spending too long messaging my online boyfriends."

But since her career in the adult industry has hit new heights, Ricky is every bit the doting boyfriend - who even helps Sharna take risqué pictures in lingerie to tempt more blokes to sign up to her virtual 'girlfriend experience'.

The OnlyFans star claimed that she rakes in a whopping $1,000 (£525) for every 10 minutes that she spends entertaining her internet 'lovers', which usually involves them simply chatting about their days and sending each other snaps.

But it's still going to cost you a few quid if you want to natter away to the blonde about what went on while you were at work - as she charges more than £5,000 for just a 10-minute phone call.

Whereas as a dental nurse, Sharna said she was only making around £21,000 a year.

Since Ricky's got involved in curating her saucy posts and helping her choose seductive outfits, the model says that her earnings have shot up even further.

She said: "We make six digits a month. The most that we have made in one month is $220,000 (£112,420)."

Speaking of his role, Ricky added: "I'm the photographer - making sure that I'm getting the right angles, the hair is in place, there's no straps twisted, the lighting's good."

But it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows for the couple, as they hit a rocky patch while they worked out how to navigate their unusual relationship dynamic.

Ricky explained: "At the start when the whole girlfriend experience come on, I was pretty unsure about it and we end up having a little bit of a fight about it.

"We sat down and spoke it out and she gave me a bit of reassurance, and I became a bit more comfortable with it. At the end of the day, I choose to trust her.

"If I feel like she's spending too much time on the phone, I'll let it be known."

He said that his friends had called Sharna 'nasty names' and warned him to steer clear of her, but he understands that they were simply 'looking out for him' at the time.

"My parents were a bit skeptical of what we were doing but now they're more informed, they're on board," Ricky said.

Sharna said her mother and her in-laws both 'get excited' when they see her and her boyfriend travelling around the world together thanks to their hefty earnings, which makes all the judgement they face well worth it.

The Aussie 'draws the line' at meeting any of her online boyfriends and says that her and Ricky are now 'pretty good with our boundaries' - so she urged people to stop 'feeling sorry for my partner that I'm exposing myself to these men'.

Speaking of the motivations of her clientele, she said: "I guess these men have trouble with dating on the outside world and maybe they feel a little bit nervous actually going out and having to talk and go to dates with women."

Sharna to the rescue, eh?
