What a way to make a livin’.
Formerly full-time OnlyFans model Dasha Daley says she feels more fulfilled working 9-to-5 now than she ever while creating erotic content on the subscriber-based adult site.
The 33-year-old from Perth, Australia had transitioned her career to OnlyFans just two years ago, making good money and being her own boss. But Daley said she found being self-employed “lonely and boring.”
“It’s day one at a real job after being a spicy content creator for two years,” she said in a TikTok video to her fans on Thursday, alluding to a new gig.
“And after a 10-hour shift, I’m honestly really tired, but I just feel so fulfilled that I’ve got a normal job again and I’ve actually worked,” she admitted.
Daley told The Post she got a “casual contract” as an events assistant at legal seminars while she searches for full-time employment — a difficult prospect considering her “exposure online.”
“I feel very exhausted as I am not used to working long hours and dealing with people in real life,” Daley said of the “difficult change.”
“But working a normal job has made me appreciate the challenge of working hard again compared to sitting at home and being completely isolated from society, which affected my mental health badly. It’s nice to be more social again, being challenged and having a purpose.”
But she hasn’t completely sworn off OnlyFans, continuing to make content on the side at times when she needs some extra cash.
Daley, who studied criminology, had previously discussed the challenges of leaving sex work and reentering the mainstream workforce, asking other users for advice on how to explain the two-year gap on her résumé.
“I have been applying for jobs and no luck so far. And when I do get an interview, hopefully someday, I’m not sure how I’m going to explain what I’ve been doing this whole time,” she said in a video earlier this month.
“But if anyone’s got any tips on what I can do in this instance, and where I should look, please let me know because once you’re out, it’s really hard to get back in the society and try to find a real job,” Daley lamented.
Viewers provided several excuses for Daley to tell future employers, including that she was studying, traveling or living off her savings in recent times.
Meanwhile, another Australian OnlyFans model may want to consider leaving the industry after recently discovering that her stepdad was her “number one customer.”
