A Norwegian father needed counseling after discovering the Onlyfans porn he had been paying for was of his 23-year-old daughter, his therapist has revealed.
Tone Haldorsen, a therapist in Norway, told how a married father, who has not been named, approached her with the shocking story after having suicidal thoughts.
The man shared how he had inadvertently stumbled upon the local profile on the recommendation of his friends, and continued to interact with the creator for months before learning of his connection to his horror.
“It almost destroyed the relationship between them,” Haldorsen said. ‘The father’s idea of doing something sexual with his daughter made him physically ill. Now his body had been the source of his fantasies…and his infidelity.
Haldorsen claimed that the father was still married to his daughter’s mother and that she is unaware of the incident.
After a period of counseling with both father and daughter, he said that they are both now much better and concluded that “they almost have a closer relationship after this.”
Therapist Tone Haldorsen (pictured) described how one client unknowingly purchased content from her daughter.
Haldorsen, who works as a sexologist and marriage and relationship counselor, said the man had been admiring his daughter’s body for months before the disturbing revelation came to light.
He explained that he had never seen her face because it was always covered and he had never looked at his naked daughter, so he had not been able to recognize who she was.
The man made requests, bought content and chatted with the woman on the other side of the screen, according to a Norwegian media Dagbladet.
The father, who preferred to remain anonymous, had discovered the woman’s profile after some of his friends recommended it to him.
They offered the clue after also subscribing to the profile because it belonged to a local girl.
Wondering if it was someone he knew, he began “investigating” shortly after and eventually discovered the truth for himself.
“I was slightly surprised,” Haldorsen said. “He didn’t know his daughter was on the platform.”
Soon after, her mental health began to take its toll and she contacted her therapist for help.
She said: “He came to me when suicidal thoughts started appearing in his mind.”
The father and daughter had been interacting without realizing it for months, and Haldorsen said, “It almost destroyed the relationship between them.”
“The father’s idea of doing something sexual with his daughter made him physically ill. Now his body had been the source of his fantasies…and his infidelity.
It would take him some time to prepare to confront his daughter, who remained oblivious to her father’s therapy.
When he found out, “he thought it was disgusting, to say the least,” Haldorsen said.
The woman could see who was following her, but her father’s anonymous profile had obscured their interactions.
As far as she knew, he was just another enthusiast who paid for her pornographic content.
“The hardest thing for her was that he did it behind her mother’s back,” the therapist said.
She said she had been following the couple since then and that, as far as she knew, they were now doing much better, as the father could now be with his daughter “without any problems.”
As far as she knows, the daughter still uses Onlyfans and her mother still doesn’t know the truth of the awkward family encounter.
The father and daughter gave the therapist written approval to retell their story in order to raise awareness about the potentially horrifying results of using anonymous profiles.
Haldorsen cited numerous examples of grandparents, siblings and older relatives finding their relatives at the site and urged people to “be aware that this can really happen.”
In this case, he said, the horror was resolved through good communication.
Relationship counselor Tone Haldorsen told how the father was doing better after therapy.
Onlyfans is a London-based internet content subscription service that took off during the pandemic, when many people lost their jobs or were forced to work from home.
The site offers a variety of content, serving in part as a way for creators to make money by teaching or promoting their music.
But most of the current content is pornographic in nature, and models sell subscriptions to access image and video content updates.
As of May last year, Onlyfans had three million registered creators and 220 million registered consumers.
A piece of 2022 investigation on site demographics identified that 89.5 percent of consumers were married.
