Hey there! Welcome to Only Fans Insider! We’re excited to have you here. For our readers who might not know you yet, can you tell us a little about yourself and the business you’ve built in the OnlyFans world?

Thanks for inviting me to share our story. I am the Founder of the nation's only sexual wellness trade show and conference, STIMULATE, which is held annually in Nashville. What makes us unique is that we help creators - such as those on Only Fans - learn how to further monetize their businesses through brand partnerships and more. The business of creators is often misunderstood as one avenue when really it has many ways to make revenue, and we love working with creators to strengthen their ways to make money. We call this Creator Commerce and also work with the 100 + brands are our show to support them in working with creators from this perspective.

We’re always curious—was your business a planned venture, or did it evolve naturally over time?

Great question! I have always had a love of retail and more so, connecting consumers (who are essentially just people) to products and services.With our world evolving so heavily into digital experiences, this also welcomed the idea of creators into this space. Collectively, I have a passion for sexual health, wellbeing and overall pleasure of this. I define my show - STIMULATE - as "head to toe, young to mature, purpose to pleasure" and when I founded it, it was because I saw a void in the professional space of this category. There are destinations to source inventory, but what about connecting brands with more meaningful relationships and partnerships to those helping to drive sales to those brands? Enter STIMULATE. We're thrilled to fill this void and also bring value to every attendee of our show - exhibitors, brands, retailers, creators, doctors, sex therapists and media alike.

You can feel the energy you bring to this—what is it about your work that truly excites you?

Seeing individuals build a life they love and have a community who supports them keeps me motivated. I know this general category can come with stigma and challenges - that is not lost on me - but there is so much tremendous value to bringing professionals together in this space who all have shared visions of success and respect. And let's not be foolish... revenue, as well.

Tell us something quirky, funny, or totally unexpected about your business journey so far!

People are always surprised when I tell them we bring leaders in sexual wellness together that include urologists, gynecologists, retail store buyers (think Hustler Hollywood, Adam + Eve, CVS and more), sex educators, creators and more in one common space. Nothing makes me happier than seeing them collaborate, learn from each other and have authentic conversations around this category with no shame and all respect. I've done panel discussions with doctors, notable porn stars and brands on one stage - and the genuine content being shared is unmatched. It's truly incredible.

In your opinion, what’s next for creators, agencies, and businesses working in this space?

I think creators are just beginning to understand their value... and I say that with 100% respect. I have always said that people - aka consumers - like to be entertained when they shop (I call this shoppertainment), so with creators specifically, I think there is a tremendous opportunity to strengthen their business avenues. We love supporting this niche community, and I think if they knew where to go to learn this, they'd expand their earnings. That is what STIMULATE can help support them with.

Additionally, having a long term projection of what your professional future looks like is important. Introducing brand partnerships through a creator commerce experience can help secure a financial future and sex-positive path that overlaps in your work today and ideally in your work in the future. Our show, STIMULATE, even has over 35 sessions in the course of 2 days that help creators and retailers alike strengthen their business understandings. This is in addition to doctor led experiences that focus more on sexual pleasure, purpose and overall experiences.

We’ve learned so much—let’s wrap with how people can find you, follow you, or reach out if they want to connect.

I'd love to personally connect with anyone who is curious to learn more, and welcome emails at stimulate@retailminded.com. Additionally, you can explore Instagram at our handle @StimulateTheShow and our website is StimulateTheShow.com. Finally, I'd love to welcome creators to join us in Nashville this August 4+5 at STIMULATE. We have many already confirmed with brands like Sportsheets, Tenga, Nu Sensuelle, Wicked and many others in attendance, as well. Definitely don't be shy! I'd love to meet you.

A new kind of marketplace is now live…

Featuring: Lucy

DirtyKnickers.com is a new kind of marketplace built around worn clothing, anonymous connections, and discreet selling. The idea was to create a space where sellers can offer something more personal than a traditional product, while giving buyers a private and straightforward way to explore the marketplace. The platform gives creators another way to monetise their brand and personality through physical items, photos, videos, and personalised experiences. Sellers have more control over what they offer, how they present themselves, and how they manage their shop. Privacy and discretion are a big part of how the marketplace has been designed. That extends from the buying and selling experience through to discreet delivery options intended to maintain anonymity between sellers and their customers. DirtyKnickers.com also brings physical products and digital content together in one marketplace. Sellers can list clothing alongside their photos and videos, giving them more flexibility in how they build their shop, showcase what they offer, and generate additional income from their audience. To help establish the marketplace, DirtyKnickers.com is currently inviting Founding Sellers to create their shops and begin adding listings ahead of the wider launch. Founding Sellers receive a discounted 15% commission rate through the end of 2026, priority visibility at launch with a Founders tag, and their own shop where they can set their prices. Sellers can choose between Buy It Now and Auction listings, giving them different ways to price and sell their products. The platform also offers assistance with setting up a shop for anyone who needs it, although the process has been designed to be quick and straightforward. Founding Sellers are encouraged to launch with a strong selection of products so buyers have plenty to discover from day one. DirtyKnickers.com has also created a video guide that walks sellers through the process of setting up their shop and adding their first listings. Ultimately, DirtyKnickers.com is designed to create a trusted and straightforward marketplace for a community that has traditionally had limited options. For creators, it represents another opportunity to turn an existing audience and personal brand into a new source of revenue, while maintaining greater control over how they sell and connect with customers.

The Science of Pleasure: Why Stress Changes Sexual Desire

Featuring: Hannah Townsend

I'm Hannah Townsend, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Erotic Blueprint Coach, and the founder of PLSRXO ÍNTIMA. My work sits at the intersection of mental health, sexuality, and building the capacity to create the life you want. I help ambitious professionals and entrepreneurs better understand themselves through their nervous systems, relationships, and intimate lives. One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that people separate stress from sexuality. In reality, they're deeply connected. The same neurochemicals that influence motivation, pleasure, bonding, and relaxation also shape our intimate experiences. That's why my work isn't just about intimacy—it's about helping people understand what their bodies are communicating through their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sexual experiences. Whether I'm working with therapy clients, coaching professionals, teaching workshops, or writing educational articles, my goal is always the same: to reduce shame, increase self-understanding, and help people build the capacity to experience more connection, pleasure, and fulfillment in every area of their lives. I love supporting creators and entrepreneurs because they're often navigating performance, visibility, intimacy, and burnout all at once, and those experiences deserve thoughtful conversations about mental health and sexuality.

Drop Me Into Chaos. I'll Build the Machine.

Featuring: Avital von Allemann

If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd end up working with founders in the sexual wellness and creator economy space, I honestly would've thought you were joking. It definitely wasn't on my radar. My background is in venture operations. I spent the last few years building and running operations for one of the UK's largest angel investor communities, and today I'm helping build Tabu Ventures as Fractional Strategic Operations Lead. Along the way I realised something that really surprised me. Some of the most thoughtful, mission-driven founders I've met are building businesses in industries that people don't always take seriously at first glance. Once you spend time with the founders and the people they're building for, you realise they're solving real problems for real people. My role is to help bring structure to the chaos behind growing businesses and communities. That's the part I love - building the systems, processes and experiences that let founders focus on what they do best.
