OnlyFans is almost instantly associated with young people avoiding “normal” worklife, but that isn’t to say there aren’t OnlyGrans getting really cheeky on the internet.
The likes of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips dominate the OnlyFans market in 2025, usually with deliberately divisive stunts and carefully picked viral moments. It’s easy to forget that not all OnlyFans models are created equal, with each having their own specific motivations and needs for being on the platform.
Introducing the OnlyGrans. They’re too cool for knitting.

Amidst the growing cost-of-living crisis throughout much of the world, US resident Michelle, 72, felt she needed to sign up to OnlyFans to survive.
“If we don’t do OnlyFans, we’re living from one social security check to the next,” she told Huck. “What are you going to do if you have [a health crisis] or if our house caught on fire? Or all the plumbing broke because there was a big freeze? There’s no money. No way to fix that.”

For Petra Daniel, 68, the move into adult entertainment came after a nasty injury on her way to work, leaving her with frozen shoulder and arthritis. She started by camming, just like our Bonnie Blue, before moving into OnlyFans.
Men don’t “look at me” on dating sites, but on OF, Petra is called “God’s gift” by the men she has “intricate” relationships with.

The UK’s Viktoria Winslow, 57, loves the “invaluable” financial security of OnlyFans, which he started alongside her 24-year-old daughter.
“I never thought in a million years I would be in this position, one word: Empowered,” she told Jam Press, as per Derbyshire Live. “I’ll continue to make videos for as long as I have an audience – even if I’m 90 and wrinkly.
Before OnlyFans, Victoria was living month-to-month and was forced to move in with a friend when she was unable to pay her rent.
She added: “It’s given me financial independence and helped me love my body. Women are told that to be attractive we have to be young and thin – but I can tell you, this is certainly not the case.
“Men love my wrinkles, my dimples, my stretch marks. I’ve had some strange requests, though, one fan asked me to step on bugs on camera (I didn’t do it) – and there’s so many people out there with foot fetishes, it’s unbelievable.”

According to the Daily Star, grandmother Gina Stewart, 51, is widely regarded as the “world’s hottest gran.” She joined the site after Instagram kept removing her pictures, and now she loves ringing money out of men.
“I get requests for customised content a lot of the time. [Fans ask for] happy birthday messages or wake up call. But the rate my penis craze is just the funniest trend,” she said.
“Men can’t wait to part with their money to be rated. My OnlyFans would still be very lucrative with that feature alone. I have been paid to rate the most well endowed to the smallest.”
Honestly? Good for them. If Bonnie Blue can be a menace to society on OnlyFans, the OnlyGrans can certainly earn a living on there.
