Father Needs Therapy After Spending on his Daughter’s OnlyFans

A cautionary tale emerges from Norway: Married father needs therapy after discovering he’s been chatting with and spending money on his daughter's OnlyFans

In an eyebrow-raising turn of events that one usually finds in the scripts of daytime television, a Norwegian father found himself in therapy after discovering that the OnlyFans content he had been avidly paying for belonged to his 23-year-old daughter. If you think this sounds like the setup to a cringeworthy family reunion episode, we’re sadly dealing with cold, hard reality.

Tone Haldorsen, a therapist specializing in sexology and relationship counseling, recently disclosed this harrowing tale after acquiring written permission from the father and daughter. According to Haldorsen, the married father, who has opted to remain anonymous, approached her grappling with severe suicidal thoughts prompted by this hair-raising discovery. He spent months trying to manage his feelings regarding what happened and eventually asked for help. He hadn’t even shared his discovery with his daughter when he first sought the therapist.

The discovery was made in a manner that can only be described as unfortunate — and that’s putting it mildly. The father was on an annual cabin trip with his friends when the topic of OnlyFans came up, and some recommended her OnlyFans profile since she was a “local girl.” Evidently, there’s no bro code covering due diligence on who you're recommending. Over months of interactions that included financial transactions and requests, the man stumbled upon the horrifying realization that the content creator was, in fact, his daughter.

"It almost destroyed the relationship between them," Haldorsen recounted. "The father's thoughts about having engaged in something sexual with his daughter made him physically ill. Now her body had been the source of his fantasies — and his infidelity." Yeah, that’ll leave a family scar deeper than a Game of Thrones wedding.

It’s worth noting that the daughter’s identity remained mysterious on her OnlyFans account, as her face was never visible in the content. Clearly, this anonymity backfired spectacularly in this case. “She thought it was disgusting, to say the least. She also got an alarm clock on who was following her,” says the sexologist.

Despite the turbulent emotions involved, therapy seems to have done wonders. “They have almost got a closer relationship after this,” Haldorsen optimistically noted. The daughter continues to leverage her OnlyFans account, while her mother remains blissfully unaware of this incendiary chapter in their family's history.

The father’s tale isn’t just a salacious anecdote but a cautionary tale. The family, through Haldorsen, has chosen to share their story to raise awareness of the unforeseen and somewhat awkward dangers of engaging with online content under the veil of anonymity.

Haldorsen added that cases of family members stumbling onto each other’s profiles on such platforms aren't rare, citing several instances involving grandparents, siblings, and other relatives. She says she has “received inquiries from uncles, aunts, grandparents, and siblings who have found their family members on the platform.” Her advice? "Be aware that this can actually happen."

Today, she uses this example in teaching and lectures and receives several messages from people who have experienced similar incidents. In the end, it’s a morbidly effective reminder of the unexpected twists in the digital age, where behind every anonymous screen name might lurk an unwelcome family surprise.
