A teenager was "totally shocked" after getting into the - and insists that there is one misconception that people have.
Recently, sex work has been a hot topic on social media after star Lilly Phillips slept with 100 men in one day, while Bonnie Blue claims to have slept with 1,057 men in a span of 12 hours.
Tanisha Bellucci is the daughter of Carla Belluci – who is perhaps better known as "Britain's most hated woman". She has now shared her experience in the industry and revealed what it is really like. The 19-year-old made headlines earlier this month after her mum announced she wants to retire in two years, at the age of 45.
Now, Tanisha is calling out fellow content creators for the "insane" impression they are projecting. She claims the industry isn't nearly as wild as they're making it out to be.

Tanisha, from Hertfordshire, said: "Extreme sex content leaves such a bad impression, especially for young girls like me on the platform. It's crazy. I only share pictures of myself in bikinis and underwear, and I'm doing alright financially. I still very much have boundaries about what I'm happy to share."
Speaking about how she manages the stigma attached to her job, she said: "To be in this game, you've got to have limits – it is not a wild free-for-all. The work is quite overwhelming sometimes, as men are very pushy about what they want, and that’s just my experience with pictures."
She added: "But it's tricky, as you don’t come across money like this. When you're young, it becomes addictive and you're quickly swept off doing stuff you previously would never do. If I got asked to do something extreme, I would question if my self-respect is even worth that type of cash."
Tanisha used to work at a coffee shop when she first started selling snaps online as a side gig. She knew almost immediately that this was the career for her. Her mum, Carla, was already using but worried about what her daughter would upload. Within 24 hours of joining the platform, Tanisha allegedly earned £1,000.
She said: "I stuck at my coffee shop job for a while, as it was handy for some cash, but it wasn’t what I wanted to do forever. When I spotted my mum getting paid quite a bit in exchange for photos, though, I was hooked.
"It's all I ever spoke about and when I turned 18, I wanted to set myself up immediately. Mum told me to take some time to think about it more. She was worried about the mental impact it would have and how far I would go with what I was putting out.
"But after I got fired from my day job, it was a no-brainer. I was used to working so hard for so little, but suddenly, I was making a fortune from doing nothing."
While she won’t divulge exact figures, Tanisha claims to have made more in the past three months than she would make in a year at the coffee shop. She has splashed the cash on clothes, bags and a new laptop but a large chunk of the earnings have also been saved towards a house deposit.
