Living together in a gigantic six-bed,sara stone angel sex video five-bath property in Miami, eight conventionally attractive women sunbathe in bikinis, twerk in matching jammies, and dance by the pool in almost-sheer bodycon dresses. This is not a new-age iteration of the Playboy Mansion; there are no silk robe-clad men in sight, and in fact, no men at all. This is the Bop House, a content creator mansion founded by 20-year-old Sophie Rainand 22-year-old Aishah Sofeyat the tail end of 2024.
While you may be well-versed with Hype House, Sway House, and the many dupe content mansions that have sprung up since the pandemic, Bop — or "baddie on point" — is part of a growing niche of homes like the Creator Houseand Rebel House that exclusively host OnlyFans creators. In the four months since Bop's inception, Rain and Sofey have recruited Alina Rose, Camilla Araujo, Julia Filippo, Summer Iris, Ava Reyes, and Joy Meito their mansion. (Mei has since left, according to Bop House's Instagram bio.)

In case you're curious about the kind of videos that Bop posts to garner clout at breakneck speed, the ordinary, everydayness of their content may surprise you, at least at first glance. Just like countless other lifestyle creators, the Bop House women make dance videos, play pranks on each other, and wear colour-coordinated outfits. It's a seemingly never-ending slumber party, but the online reaction signals the longstanding and seemingly ever-growing stigma against sex work, even when made on women's own terms.
Inside the Bop House
Despite the staid nature of their TikTok and Instagram content, most Bop House videos stack millions of views because of the subliminal suggestiveness and seduction. The creators don't just dance to any tunes, but specifically those that encourage jumpingand jiggling. On a day out, you'll see them at a PG-13 trampoline parkin tank tops and bum shorts, as the camera pans on their butts and boobs. Even if the content appears to be all fun and games, in reality, each post is meticulously planned with the Bop House women hard at work. After all, just like other OnlyFans creators, their income depends on their social media.
The OnlyFans platform is notoriously bereft of a search function and a discovery space like Explore or FYP. The only way for a creator to get new subscribers is by promoting their work on other forms of media like X, Reddit, Telegram, TikTok, and Instagram. That's why UK-based OnlyFans creator Lauren Roland thinks the Bop House is a genius idea.
"I spend 90 percent of my day marketing my content online. But there's only so many times I can post photos of myself dressed like a French maid or a nurse before it becomes repetitive," the 51-year-old shares. "Having creators to collaborate with helps your creativity and reach because you're targeting wider audiences."
Creating content amid censorship
According to an OnlyFans spokesperson, as of April 2025, the platform has over four million registered creators. While it has always been difficult to stand out amidst the crowd, the ongoing censorship of sex workers by big tech is only stigmatising the industry further, making it nearly impossible for creators to exist on mainstream platforms. The current stigmatisation of online sex work can be traced back to the 2018 U.S. bills FOSTA-SESTA (Fighting Online Sex Trafficking Act and Stop Enabling Sex Trafficking Act).
When Donald Trump signed the controversial bills in his first term with the intent to curb human trafficking, the law made online publishers responsible for any trafficking incidents that take place on their platforms. In an effort to safeguard their own interests, the platforms then began policing content excessively. Human moderators — or worse, automated systems — were trained to aggressively weed out any nudity or reference to sex. These mentions are then flagged as potentially soliciting, and associated accounts are eventually reported or suspended. Sex educators, workers, and creatorsbecame collateral damage amidst this censorship, as the process leaves plenty of room for error.
Last year, Roland lost 125,000 followers on TikTok when the app suspended her account out of the blue. Her Instagram is shadowbanned, meaning it does not appear in the search function, on Explore pages, or under recommended accounts.
"It's hard for a machine to determine what is or isn't safe for work, it's super dehumanising and demonstrates the ways that people in the erotic sphere are blocked from accessing legitimate infrastructure," says Megan Wallace, the creator behind sex and desire zine PULPand the editorial director at GayTimes.
For years, heaps of sex workers, educators, and LGBTQIA+ users have protested Meta's arbitrary (shadow)bansof their personal and professional accounts despite complying with their no-nudity and no-solicitation rules.
That also explains why Bop House content is carefully indicative, with absolutely no mention of OnlyFans. The link in their Instagram bio takes users to an official website where you can further tap into the individual creators' OnlyFans accounts — two whole clicks away from Meta.
The timing is painfully ironic: 2025 is also the year that Anora, a film about a sex worker, swept up six awards at the Oscars. In reality, the sex worker community is being pushed underground. Instead of regulating and protecting sex workers, the current law erases them from social media, enforcing the idea that they aren't valid members of society, worthy of community, connection, or any visibility.

In an attempt to circumvent censorship yet continue to draw in eyes, OnlyFans creators are forced to develop their own niche online. For example, Astrid Wett is known for being a boxer, Bonnie Locket uses her love of supercars to lure fans, while London-based Venus Energy is making more lifestyle-first videos. "I recently started a TikTok series of me struggling to open jars, it's a humorous way for men to offer help that is still above board," Energy explains.
Similarly, the women of Bop House are distinguishing themselves from other creators through community and by exclusively creating group content.
But this has elicited uproar and moral panic of its own. The Bop creators are between 19 and 24 years of age, and naysayers on the internetclaim they're too young for sex work. Not only does this narrative strip the creators of any agency, but it also fuels the belief that sex work is inherently bad and must be banned.
"Years ago, with Emma Watson and more recently with Millie Bobby Brown, we have seen barely-legal celebrities be overly sexualised against their will," shares Dr. Carolina Are, innovation fellow at Northumbria University's Centre for Digital Citizens, platform governance researcher, and content creator. Back in 2014, Watson delivered a speechabout the lack of gender equality in films and revealed that the press sexualised her when she was only 14 years old.
In the decade since, nonconsensual objectification has gained the backing of technology like pornographic deepfakes(AI-generated videos) of Brown and other young celebrities that are easily available on the internet.
"Even musicians have written songs objectifying young girls; so it's incredibly revealing that these adult women who are consensually creating sexual content are somehow a problem for people," Are adds.
Mounting misconceptions about sex work
This angst towards Bop House magnified in February when 17-year-old content creator Piper Rockelle posted videos with the housemates. The internet wasup in armsabout an underage creator allegedly joining OnlyFans, but this never happened. Rockelle visited the creators at Rain's private residence (not Bop House) and filmed mainstream TikTok trends. (Teenagers and parents who worked with Rockelle accused her mother, Tiffany Smith, of harassment and abuse in a 2022 lawsuit. Smith denied the allegations, and a settlement was reached.)
But the furore led to Bop House being labelled "the most disgusting content house" on a YouTube video with over a million views, while they continue to field daily hate on Xand TikTok. The consistent fear-mongering spreads the belief that Bop House's viral presence online could lure in minors with PG-13 content, eventually funneling them onto OnlyFans before they are legally allowed.
When Mashable reached out to OnlyFans for comments, a spokesperson said, "OnlyFans is not affiliated with the Bop House and does not endorse any third party or agency." They also linked us to the platform's child-safety policies.
In accordance with the UK's Online Safety Act and U.S. 2257 Record-Keeping Regulations, creators have to provide over nine proofs of identitybefore they can be registered on OnlyFans. This includes their name, email, postal address, date of birth, valid government photo ID, selfie with and without said ID, W-9, and social security number. Depending on the country, subscribers must also provide a range of personal IDs, payment details, and go through age verification checks before viewing media on OnlyFans.
In the U.S., for instance, fans must share valid over-18 bank detailsand a passport or driver's license in order to be cleared. To ensure minors aren't accessing OnlyFans through an adult's account, the platform also hosts secondary selfie checks every 30 days.
Although OnlyFans has roadblocks in place to prevent minors from accessing adult content, the internet at large unfairly places this responsibility on creators.
SEE ALSO: What the Supreme Court hearing about age verification could mean for you"Parents and schools should educate children because right now, sex work and any related content is so heavily censored that it restricts access to important conversations about sexual health, wellbeing and consent while proliferating misogynistic content and stigmatising sex," Are says.
At a time when one in five UK men aged 16 to 29 look at Andrew Tate favourably and believe feminism did more harm than good, safe conversations around sex are essential. Similarly, the recently released Netflix thriller Adolescence—which explores the rise of the toxic manosphere and its impact on young boys — is resonating with audiences globally and making a case for the need for healthy conversation around sex and gender.
On the other hand, big tech sees a complete elimination of sex workers as the easy fix to trafficking and safety. Roland explains why this only makes matters worse: "Right now OnlyFans creators are making content from the safety of their homes and on their own terms — the Bop House women have solidarity in their togetherness. But if you censor us on social media, we may be forced to [post videos] on platforms like Pornhub." The creator adds that with the latter, sex workers have less control over how much they are paid and how the content is promoted, taking away their agency.
"Pornhub has collaborated closely with the model community to create a payment structure that fairly compensates them for their work. You can learn more about our tier system here, including how we have regularly implemented model feedback into the system as it evolves," Pornhub's VP of brand and community, Alexzandra Kekesi, said in an emailed statement to Mashable. "Pornhub is deeply invested in the success of the creators that are a part of our community."
Yet even from the perspective of child safety, some creators prefer a platform like OnlyFans — where viewers must jump through several hoops before seeing adult content — over easily accessible porn websites where age verification and consent is a simple, faith-based "yes or no" answer. (In the U.S., age-verification lawsare in effect in several states, requiring ID or facial recognition to access explicit sites. While they outwardly want to curb minors from seeing porn, an early study shows that they don't work, and free speech experts Mashable have spoke to say there are privacy and security concerns.)
"Parents and schools should educate children because right now, sex work and any related content is so heavily censored that it restricts access to important conversations about sexual health, wellbeing and consent."
Like any other profession, working in a collective like the Bop House is better for the creators' mental and social welfare than filming alone. Are says, "I'm part of a research network where we address various aspects of content creators' lives, and something that stands out is how lonely their work can be."
Are insists that "working with people who know the challenges of the business can be a support network." For instance, in February, Rain revealed that her stalker broke into the mansion while she and the team were away at the Super Bowl; he even told the cops that he was married to the creator. In a YouTube video, she sat down with Reyes and Araujo to talk about how terrifying the experience was while emphasising how having the group's support helped her process the trauma.
Globally, sex workers have a 45 to 75 percentchance of experiencing violence on the job. Popular OnlyFans creators are possibly at a higher risk of exposure to violence, as they're public-facing.
Energy agrees, "OnlyFans can be an isolating career, so I'm envious of what those girls have by working together." Unfortunately, as per the law, Bop House would be illegal in the UK. Two sex workers cannot work together in the country as it is deemed "brothel-keeping," making it increasingly unsafe by forcing creators to work in silos.
"But I am trying to access the community where I can," Energy says. "I've joined a few Telegram and Discord groups where we ask each other questions and discuss ideas; I hope those don't get banned too."
