According to an analysis by adult search engine Onlyguider, counties in Texas' Permian Basin oil region had the highest per capita spending on OnlyFans in the state. Loving County, with a population of just 48 people, topped the list with over $13 million spent per 10,000 residents. The trend was visible across many oil-rich counties in the region, as oilfield workers staying in isolated "man camps" turned to the adult content platform for entertainment.

Why it matters

The data provides insight into the lives of oil workers in remote parts of Texas, who often have little to do besides work and limited access to entertainment options. The high OnlyFans spending highlights the isolation and boredom experienced by these workers, as well as the potential social impacts of the modern oil boom.

The details

Onlyguider's analysis found that sparsely populated counties in the Permian Basin, home to many oil production sites and temporary worker housing, had the highest per capita OnlyFans spending in Texas. Loving County, with just 48 residents, topped the list at over $13 million per 10,000 people. Other oil-rich counties like Upton, Reeves, and Midland also saw extremely high per capita spending on the adult content platform. The trend was attributed to the influx of oilfield workers staying in isolated "man camps" near production sites, with little else to do in their free time.

What they’re saying

“We expected the usual urban hotspots — Dallas, Austin, Houston — to lead this year's spending charts. But the data told a different story.”

— Sam Pierce, Chief Executive, Onlyguider (Onlyguider)

“The oil business can be lonely. Dudes are on well sites, kind of doing nothing, or they're out away from everybody for a long time, family and everything. It's like being in jail.”

— Russell Smith, Career Oilman, WFX Oil and Gas (Houston Chronicle)

What’s next

Onlyguider plans to further analyze the data to better understand the social and economic factors driving the high OnlyFans spending in Texas' oil country.

The takeaway

The high per capita OnlyFans spending in remote Permian Basin counties highlights the isolation and boredom experienced by many oil workers in these areas, who turn to adult content platforms for entertainment when there are few other options available. This trend reflects the broader social impacts of the modern oil boom beyond just the economic factors.
