CHICAGO—Elaina St. James has found herself in some controversy following the casting of 23-years-younger adult star Lucas Frost to shoot her first-ever boy/girl scene which was released last month.
St. James, who conducted a talent search for the role, said working with Frost was “thoroughly enjoyable,” with the scene earning positive praise from her subscribers and resulting in her highest monthly earnings to date. The scene is available on OnlyFans.
"Fans have begged me to film with a man the entire two years I’ve been on OnlyFans, but as a single mom with no time to date, it was almost impossible,” St. James said. “But the requests kept coming, and, realizing that the most successful creators offer ‘real sex’ videos, I decided to make the leap. Since my core fan demographic is mostly between 20 and 40, they wanted me to shoot with a co-star in their age range.”
Despite the scene’s popularity, some Internet users have taken to social media to voice their disapproval.
“My DMs on social media have been filled with harassment and insults for being an ‘old woman’ daring to perform with such a young man,” she said. “Sadly, most of the hate is coming from women. Older women say I should be ashamed of myself, body shaming me and pointing out my physical flaws, while younger women tell me I should ‘check into a nursing home.’”
The criticism has also hit closer to home.
"I have lost a few friends over this and it is really disappointing. They know that everything I do professionally as a single mom is to give my child a better life and myself a retirement fund. If I was a 55-year-old man sleeping with a 32-year-old woman, no one would care!”
Undeterred by the detractors, St. James said she has no regrets. "Absolutely not! I did this to make money and the sales prove that this was the right professional decision. It was worth all the insults and criticisms. For me, the experience has been positive, enjoyable, and empowering as a middle-aged woman. I might even film with someone younger next time! If the mutual respect and chemistry are there, after a certain point, age is truly just a number!”
