“If you were to get half a million dollars a month for an hour of work a day, would you do it?” 50-year-old OnlyFans creator Chris Jackson asks. “Yeah, you would.”
While this seems like a scenario reserved for the stuff of fiction, Chris, along with his wife of 14 years, Crystal, say that’s been the reality for them since starting their erotic subscription-based OnlyFans page two years ago.
“We went into it just to have this fun marriage experience,” Crystal, 45, tells PEOPLE. “And it is fun.”
What is? Images of her in sexy clothes, heels and stockings, along with sensual stories from her past. What isn’t? “Porn,” says Crystal, who describes herself as being a “modest and reserved real neighbor mom” on the channel, which users can access for a monthly $15 payment.
Crystal and Chris haven’t been the only ones to find success through OnlyFans, which has become a prominent platform for users looking to offer subscription-based content. But on Thursday, the company announceda controversial decisionto ban “sexually explicit conduct” on its platform beginning in October. The move, OnlyFans said, was to ensure “long-term sustainability.”
“It’s been just bad for business,” Crystal adds of the spam. “So they’ve been slowly squeezing that out.”

But many creators who rely on sexually explicit content for their OnlyFans channels are undoubtedly in trouble. “A lot of models we work with around the world, they’re destroyed,” Chris says.
In 2018, Yahoo’s parent company, Verizon, banned theposting of adult content on the service. The site’s popularity faded soon after, and Verizonsold Tumblr for less than $3 millionin 2019.
Earlier this year, Crystal made headlines when her sons were expelled from their Catholic school due to her presence on OnlyFans. She decided to speak publicly about the situation, which she called “horrible” at the time. Ultimately, the couple says the experience turned out to be cathartic.

“You know why?” Crystal explains, “There were no more secrets.”
Chris often gets asked how he feels having his wife become an adult star, and he says they’ve only benefited from launching the channel.
Even with change on the horizon, Crystal says they won’t be leaving OnlyFans anytime soon.
“We want to stay here for a while,” she says of the couple’s plans for the future. “It’s our fun little thing.”
