Cypriots are the "best customers" of pornography

Cyprus ranks high on international lists of consumption and production of content on the OnlyFans platform. Cypriots spend around €5.11 million annually on the platform, ranking the country 14th globally and 11th in Europe. At the same time, Cyprus is the world leader in the number of female content creators on OnlyFans, with 3,850 registered women. The article expresses concerns that Cyprus has become a hub for the production of pornographic material, raising questions about lax legislation, favorable taxation, and lack of oversight. It points out that increased production and consumption of content on the platform creates an ecosystem where female sexuality is exploited as a commodity. The article notes that Cyprus has a history of sexual exploitation of women, recalling the era of cabarets and the issuance of visas for "artists". Today, exploitation has moved online, but concerns remain the same. In addition, the article highlights the risks associated with the systematic consumption of pornography, which can shape negative perceptions of sexuality and blur concepts such as consent and reciprocity.
