What Would Osho Say About OnlyFans?

 

What Would Osho Say About OnlyFans?

(Soft chuckle. Long pause. He looks at the audience as if they already asked the wrong question.)

You ask me about OnlyFans.

But first I must ask you:
Who is the fan?
And who is the only one?

(Laughter, then silence.)

You see, the modern mind is very clever.
It turns everything into a marketplace — even intimacy, even desire, even loneliness.

OnlyFans is not about sex.
Sex is ancient.
Sex is innocent.

OnlyFans is about attention.

And attention is the new currency.

In the past, the prostitute sold the body.
Today, the body is free — but the gaze is rented.

(Gentle laughter.)

People say, “This is empowerment.”

Yes… and no.

It is empowerment in the same way that choosing your own chains is empowerment.

At least now you may decorate them.

(Audience laughs, slightly uneasy.)

The woman says, “I am in control.”
The man says, “I am only watching.”

Both are half-asleep.

Because the watcher is also being watched — by his own desire.
And the performer is also being performed — by the algorithm.

(Pause.)

Capitalism has learned a beautiful trick.
It no longer suppresses desire.

It monetizes authenticity.

It says:
“Be yourself — but be yourself on schedule.
Be free — but please upload twice a week.”

(Soft laughter.)

And the saddest part?

No one is forcing anyone.

That is the brilliance of it.

The prison has no guards.
The inmates livestream themselves.

(Long silence.)

Do not misunderstand me.
I am not against pleasure.

I am against confusion.

Pleasure is a flower.
But when you sell the garden, the flower forgets its fragrance.

OnlyFans is not immoral.
It is unconscious.

And unconsciousness is the only sin I know.

(He smiles.)

If a person dances naked in joy — beautiful.
If a person sells nakedness to survive — tragic.
If a person convinces themselves that survival is joy — dangerous.

Because then awakening becomes impossible.

(Pause.)

Remember:
Freedom is not doing what you want.

Freedom is knowing why you want it.

OnlyFans gives you choice.
But it does not give you awareness.

And without awareness, choice is just another reflex.

(Soft chuckle.)
