A Norwegian father needed help after discovering the OnlyFans porn he had paid for was of his 23-year-old daughter, his therapist has revealed.
Tone Haldorsen, a therapist in Norway, told how a married father, who has not been named, approached her with the shocking story after having thoughts of suicide.
The man told how he accidentally came across the local profile on the recommendation of his friends, and engaged with the creator for months before learning of their connection to his horror.
“It almost destroyed the relationship between them,” Haldorsen said. “The father’s thought of doing anything sexual with his daughter made him physically ill. Now her body was the source of his fantasies – and of his infidelity.”
Haldorsen claimed that the father was still married to his daughter’s mother, and that she was still unaware of the incident.
After a period of counseling with both the father and daughter, she assured that they are now doing much better, concluding “that they have almost become a closer relationship after this.”

Haldorsen, who works as a sexologist and marriage/relationship counselor, said the man had been admiring his daughter’s body for months before the disturbing revelation came to light.
He explained that he had never seen her face because it was always covered, and that he had never looked at his daughter naked and so had not been able to recognize who it was.
The man made requests, bought content and chatted with the woman on the other side of the screen, the Norwegian outlet reported Dagbladet.
The father, who preferred to remain anonymous, had come across the woman’s profile after it was recommended to him by some of his friends.
They offered the tip after also subscribing to the profile because it belonged to a local girl.
Wondering if it was someone he knew, he began ‘investigating’ soon after and eventually discovered the truth for himself.
“He was slightly shaken,” Haldorsen said. “He didn’t know his daughter was on the platform.”
Soon after, his mental health began to take its toll and he contacted the therapist for help.
She said: ‘He came to me when thoughts of suicide started appearing in his head.’
The father and daughter had been in unintentional contact with each other for months, with Haldorsen saying, “It almost destroyed the relationship between them.”
“The father’s thought of doing anything sexual with his daughter made him physically ill. Now her body was the source of his fantasies – and of his infidelity.”
It would be some time before he could confront his daughter, who remained oblivious while her father went to therapy.
When she found out, “she found it disgusting, to say the least,” Haldorsen said.
The woman could see who was following her, but her father’s anonymous profile had obscured their interactions.
As far as she knew, he was just another paying enthusiast of her pornographic content.
“The hardest thing for her was that he went behind his mother’s back,” the therapist said.
She said she had followed the couple over the past few years and, as far as she knew, they were doing much better now, with the father able to be with his daughter “without any problem.”
As far as she knows, the daughter is still using OnlyFans and her mother still doesn’t know the truth about the awkward family encounter.
The father and daughter gave the therapist written permission to retell their story to raise awareness about the possible horror effects of using anonymous profiles.
Haldorsen cited numerous examples of grandparents, siblings and older relatives finding their relatives on the site, and urged people to “be aware that this can actually happen.”
In this case, she said, the horror was resolved through good communication.

OnlyFans is an internet content subscription service based in London that launched during the pandemic, when many people lost their jobs or were forced to work from home.
The site offers a variety of content, which serves in part as a way for creators to make money teaching or promoting their music.
But the majority of content these days is pornographic in nature, with models selling subscriptions to access updates on photo and video content.
As of May last year, OnlyFans had three million registered creators and 220 million registered consumers.
A piece from 2022 research in the site’s demographics showed that 89.5 percent of consumers were married.
