20-year-old Sophie Rain is one of the most successful models on OnlyFans, a subscription-based social media platform widely used by content creators to post explicit images. Every week, Rain posts images and videos of herself dressed in barely there lingerie to her millions of OnlyFans followers, rising quickly to the top 1% of earners on the platform since launching her page in May 2023.
She’s also a devout Christian (and self-professed virgin) who grew up attending church with her family each week, and who still attends her “home church” virtually when she can. For Rain, there’s no contradiction between her job as a sex worker and her faith in God. He actually led her to this career, she says, and she has His seal of approval.
“Showing Curves for Christ”
In just over one year on OnlyFans, Rain has amassed a massive social media following – and bank account. Rain recently posted her OnlyFans earnings on her X account, showing a purported gross yearly income of more than $43 million (approximately 157.87 billion Ugandan shillings)., including nearly18.34 billion Ugandan shillings in tips from a single follower.
Rain says the job is hard, but she does it all for her family.
“I’m glad that I’m making this much because all I wanted to do was help my family. I watched them growing up, very poor, struggling to pay bills, living paycheck to paycheck,” Rain states. “So that is what motivates me as well, my parents struggling. I wanted to change that.”
Many have criticized Rain’s choice of career, but Rain says there’s only one guy whose opinion she cares about: God’s. And she says it’s His will that she strips for strangers.
“The Lord’s very forgiving, and he put me on here. He put me on earth for a reason and I’m just living every day,” Rain says. “If this wasn’t meant for me, I wouldn’t be here right now.”
Does God Approve of Sex Work?
Rain says there’s no conflict between her faith and her career. Many people of faith disagree.
Conservative branches of Christianity have long waged a war on pornography, with many hoping to scrub the world of sex work altogether. They say that not only does it represent a moral decay in society, but it also promotes and enables actual crimes like sex trafficking.
Seventh-Day Adventist President Ted Wilson described pornography as a “vicious and terrible vice” with “destructive and harmful effects.” And in a recent address at St. Peter’s Square,
Pope Francis described pornography as a “brutality” which “Christians must be very careful to guard against and strongly reject.”
“Think of internet pornography, which there is a thriving market behind… We all know the devil works there,” Francis warned.
For many faithful, there’s a clear contradiction in the words “Christian sex worker.” But for believers like Sophie Rain, there’s no paradox.
She says that even though she makes a living posting adults-only content online, she’s living biblically by waiting for marriage to have sex, and using her earnings to support her family.
Sophie Rain says God approves of her career, but does selling spicy pics online mean you’re selling your soul to the devil?
