    The present research work is focused on analyzing the content related to the sexual economy and the sale of privacy within Gemma McCourt's profile on OnlyFans. Taking into account that virtual platforms have become a space in which intimacy is exposed directly to the margin of privacy allowing access to all kinds of people, it also becomes a source of work and, therefore, generates income in its users. The objective of this study is to analyze the OnlyFans platform as a scenario for an economy of the body, sexuality and the sale of intimacy, so a descriptive and explanatory research was developed, of qualitative and quantitative nature, where content analysis of the photos, videos and other publications made by McCourt in the years 2022 and 2023 was carried out. The results determined that both the sexual economy and the sale of intimacy are present in the OnlyFans profile of the person under investigation, i.e., there is an exchange of money for sexuality and the intimate life is exposed to each of its subscribers. Finally, it is concluded that although there are several digital platforms similar to OnlyFans in which all types of individuals can dabble, women are the ones who in greater numbers perform virtual sex work and thus generate profits to meet their needs, stereotyped by the perfect body, of course, however, the possibility of possible studies in which the male gender is the protagonist of such further research is left open
