The scandal on OnlyFans in late 2025—when thousands of users began asking @Grok to digitally "undress" public photos—exposed an uncomfortable truth about pornography consumption and male sexuality online. What began as a viral tactic by some OnlyFans creators to attract traffic ended up becoming a wave of non-consensual deepfakes, online harassment, and what many victims described as "digital rape." .
Amid the chaos, a simple yet powerful classification emerged that explains why some men consume pornography in a healthy way while others weaponize it.
The three types of masturbators
A healthy and balanced profile
Perception: Views porn as "something": entertainment, a voyeuristic fetish, or an occasional indulgence.
Action: Pays when they can and want to (subscriptions, premium sites) because they understand it's work and want to support the creators.
Context: Has (or is capable of having) a real sex life. Their pleasure is private, respectful, and self-contained.
Outcome: After orgasm, closes the tab and moves on with their life. They don't need to degrade anyone because their self-esteem doesn't depend on controlling the women on screen.
The neutral or passive profile
Perspective: They also see porn as a form of entertainment; they simply don't pay for it (whether due to cost, habit, or indifference).
Action: They consume free content without drama or resentment. Their motivation is pure personal satisfaction.
Ethics: They don't seek leaks, use AI to violate anyone's privacy, or leave toxic comments.
Outcome: They get satisfied, and that's it. They don't harm anyone.
The toxic or resentful profile (the depraved "incel")
Vision: He sees porn as an "evil": constant proof of what is denied him, what women "take from" him, or what society supposedly owes him.
Psychology: His sexual frustration isn't resolved by orgasm; it feeds on it.
Action: He doesn't pay, but instead of accepting this limitation, he turns it into rage. He seeks "symbolic revenge": he tracks down leaks, uses AI prompts to undress women without their consent, and participates in hate forums.
Outcome: For him, masturbation isn't pleasure, it's war. The woman on screen isn't a stimulus, but an enemy who must be degraded, punished, and controlled.
The lesson of the "Grok fake"
The Grok incident was the perfect example of these dynamics. The creators who started the trend (potentially targeting profiles 1 and 2) saw it as something playful and promotional: "put me in a bikini" or "take off my shirt."
However, type 3 users interpreted it as a free opportunity to exert control over women who normally charge for their content or whom they perceive as unattainable. In a matter of hours, the requests went from being consensual to being applied without permission to photos of strangers, celebrities, and even minors.
Technology wasn't the problem; Grok is just a tool.
The problem was the users who turned a creative feature into a weapon of digital sexual assault.
The root of toxicity
This behavior often stems from a dangerous combination:
Lack of emotional tools: Not having learned to manage rejection, loneliness, or desire without resorting to symbolic violence.
Social illiteracy: Inability to see women as subjects with agency and not as objects of consumption.
Early exposure to problematic sexual dynamics in the family or close environment, which distorts the perception of intimacy.
Online echo chambers: Ecosystems that monetize resentment and transform personal pain into an ideology of hate.
This is not an excuse, but rather an explanation. It is not an inevitable fate: men with the same economic or emotional needs, but with a healthy ethical foundation, process their reality with dignity and seek authentic connections.
Conclusion
Porn is not the enemy; nor is its free consumption. The enemy is transforming personal frustration into active hatred.
A healthy man masturbates and goes on with his day.
A sick man masturbates and then looks for ways to harm others. Ultimately, these three profiles have always existed. What changed with Grok is that, for a few days, technology allowed us to see with absolute clarity who is who. And that, although painful, has been a valuable lesson.
