AMATEUR FLESH: MUSETen or fifteen years ago, it was fairly common to find women who took
nude photos, mirror selfies, or
improvised sessions with their partners, and uploaded them to the internet simply because they enjoyed
showing themselves. Forums, personal blogs, Tumblr, Reddit…
There was no financial intention behind it. It was about play, arousal, validation, curiosity, or the simple pleasure of being seen.
Today, that’s much harder to come across. Not because exhibitionism has disappeared, but because
the context has changed.
Now, when a woman thinks about taking nude photos and posting them online, it’s normal for her to ask herself a
preliminary question that didn’t really exist back then:
“If I’m going to do it anyway… why not earn something from it?”
And that question is
neither cynical nor greedy. It’s
practical.
OnlyFans didn’t create the desire to exhibit oneself; what it did was
add an economic mechanism that’s simple, normalized, and socially accepted. Just like photos used to be uploaded for free “just because,” now they’re uploaded to a platform where, in addition to the pleasure of showing oneself,
there’s a financial reward.
It’s not that the
main motivation has changed. It’s that
an extra layer has been added where there wasn’t one before.

In
1994,
Madonna celebrated the release of the music video
“Bedtime Story”, directed by
Mark Romanek and considered one of the
most expensive of her career, with a
themed party called
Bedtime Story Pajama Party. The event was held at
Webster Hall in New York, in collaboration with
MTV and radio station
Z100.
Around
1,500 people attended the party, all dressed in
pajamas and sleepwear, and the event was
broadcast live on MTV for a little over
forty minutes.
The night ended with
Madonna dancing in the middle of the dance floor to the sound of
DJ Junior Vasquez’s remixes.
HOME DELIVERYdavid
There are things that, no matter how much time passes,
never wear out.
We’ve seen them a thousand times, we know how they start, how they end, and still
there’s always room for one more.
And yes, we’re talking about those videos where
the delivery guy gets the door opened by a naked woman.
For the viewer, it’s no longer provocative.
There’s no
surprise, no
scandal, no
moral shock.
It’s a familiar format, almost domestic. Something you watch with a half-smile and then keep scrolling.
But change the point of view.
Put yourself for a moment
in that delivery guy’s shoes.
He’s already done six or seven drops.
Doors half-opened, people in a rush, someone polite, someone dry, someone who
doesn’t even look you in the face.
Routine work, automatic,
emotionless. One more package, one more address.
And then,
that door opens.
No warning, no context, no mental preparation.
A young, attractive woman,
completely naked, standing right there.
No filters, no screens, no “this is just an internet video.”
Real. Right there. Two feet away.
That moment
doesn’t get forgotten.
It doesn’t matter how many videos you’ve watched.
It doesn’t matter if, for the viewer, it’s
nothing new.
For him, it’s
a scene that stays burned into his memory.
One of those stories you still tell years later, even if no one quite believes you.
Because one thing is seeing nudity
on a screen…
and something very different is when
life puts it right in front of you, without warning.
And that’s why these videos still work.
Not because of what they do to the viewer, but because of what
you imagine going through the mind of the person
on the other side of the door.
