Who Wants to be Canggu’s Top OnlyFans Star?

Let’s face it, the global economy sucks right now. With so many productive age Millennial and Gen Z individuals competing for jobs, being gainfully employed could seem like a luxury for so many people. Now, if you have great looks and a great body, we have some good news for you. If you’re interested in moving to stay in Canggu, you could find lots of opportunities to make money here. However, in order to tap into this great opportunity, you now need to learn some new skills. And don’t worry, these new skills do not include revamping your CV.

The first skill that you need to improve on in order to benefit from this economy is your flirting skills (both for flirting in front of a camera and flirting in front of real people). Next up, if you feel like you’re not good in bed, you’d better learn to improve your ability to please other people sexually (don’t worry, you could take a stop in Ubud for a while to do that before you finally settle in Canggu, because in Ubud there are so many wellness workshops aiming at opening your second chakra). These are essential because you’re about to monetize from Canggu’s thriving lust economy.

So, if you’re unable to get any white-collar jobs, wherever you’re coming from, do not worry. You can make much more money in Canggu as an OnlyFans star. If you’ve been following our articles so far, you will notice that the bohemian people in Canggu are insatiable chasers when it comes to carnal pleasure. Instead of saving money for their old age, they splurge it on local gold diggers. You will also remember in our previous articles on dating and sex addiction, sexual and bodily pleasure seems to be on top of Canggu residents’ list of priorities.

Thanks to the internet (and specifically the OnlyFans app), Canggu’s lust economy could provide welfare to anyone from any parts of the world, not just the bule hunters from Java. An article reported that in the past couple years, there has been an increase in prostitution in Bali involving foreigners. A number of foreigners have been deported from Bali in the past couple of years for operating these prostitution rings, which involve local and foreign sex workers alike. Although Russians have gained notoriety because so many of them have made the news lately for being deported over prostitution cases, Bali’s international prostitution rings have also been run by Australians and Ugandans.

In January 14, two Russian foreigners were deported for “managing” a number of Russian prostitutes from a hotel room in Canggu. These Russian prostitutes charged a very expensive rate (about Rp 5 million or US$305.90 per night) for their services. And women are not the only ones who could reap the benefits: many of these foreign sex workers are men.

So, are you ready to become Canggu’s top OnlyFans star? Follow these steps to ensure that your latest career pivot as a sex worker in the Island of the Gods turns into a success:

1. Your online presence is not enough: you also have to cruise

An Australian male friend of mine once told me that when he was hanging out in the Berawa beach, he suddenly noticed a woman fixing her gaze on him. Judging from her huge lips and plastic face, she seemed to be Russian. My friend, who said he was not “into Indonesian girls”, was thrilled. He finally approached the woman, thinking that he just got a fuck buddy for the night. After they got introduced, the woman then shared her OnlyFans account. “If you like my pics and videos and want to go to bed with me, just contact me,” she said in a husky accent that also sounded Russian. My friend, who happened to be a frugal spender, was disappointed. He did not end up with a hot babe date that night.

However, as suggested by the various news stories I cited above about online prostitution there are countless other men on the island who don’t mind paying for sex, and they are not always fat old guys. There are some hot dudes who are willing to pay too. So, do not stop just at your online presence. In-person acquaintances always work best. You have to activate your brand by frequenting Canggu’s popular hangout spots.

2. Stay mysterious

I know a lot of foreign social media influencers in Bali like the post naked pics of themselves online. However, if you want your OnlyFans business to thrive, this might not be a good idea (unless, God forbid, you’ve run out of money and are looking for ways to get deported to your home country). You have to tantalize your prospective clients by remaining mysterious and exclusive. After all, sexual tension is the recipe for all successful lustful adventures. Leave your naked stuff for your OnlyFans account only, to keep people hooked and paying for more. The sexual tension created by keeping your clothes on while revealing bits of flesh will also make people more likely to pay to get into bed with you.

3. Do your business clandestinely

Finally, you have to be discreet regarding your business. Although in practice Bali is a very liberal place, but prostitution remains an illegal business in Indonesia. Do not end up being deported like that Russian gigolo and OnlyFans star who provoked the ire of Balinese politician Ni Luh Djelantik a few years ago. If possible, use Telegram or Signal to communicate in order to prevent the authorities coming after you.

Good luck in your attempt to become Canggu’s top OnlyFans star! In the middle of a global economic recession, we indeed have to exploit all the skills we can exploit to make money, including our physicality and kama sutra powers. Learn from local prostitutes who have worked their way up from being just a sex worker to owners of love-hotels in the island. You could use some of your earnings to trade cryptocurrencies too.
