LOS ANGELES—Bree Sky, a 23-year-old entrepreneurial sex worker from Las Vegas, is already thinking beyond content. After three years on camming sites and creator platforms, she’s now using that experience to build ThirstChat, an adult messaging platform she founded, and Bree Sky VR, her virtual reality studio.
Sky got her start on the Playboy Club subscription site before moving on to OnlyFans, Fansly, Sextpanther, and others. She quickly learned that while technology helps shape a product, success is built on the human experience—the need for connection, fantasy, and attention.
“Different people want different things,” she said. “Some want companionship. Others want to hear about the industry. And, of course, people want to have fun—sexting, phone sex, FaceTime. That’s why they’re paying to talk one-on-one instead of going on a camming site or buying content or watching porn for free. They want that personal connection.”
But like any good relationship, trust plays a major role.
“Obviously, everything is pay-per-interaction, but it’s authentic,” Sky added. “I respect their time. Nobody feels like they’re being taken advantage of, and what’s nice is you get to become friends with certain people. There are fans who’ve been with me since I started three years ago.
“I believe creators should be on all types of platforms,” she continued. “The problem I’ve found with a lot of them is that you don’t know if you’re talking to the real person. It creates distrust across the entire industry. Fans become jaded because they’ve been scammed by this creator and that creator. I feel a responsibility to people who pay to have an interaction with me. That’s how it is with ThirstChat.”
Though she studied business management in college and held office and accounting jobs, adult entertainment had always been on Sky’s radar.
“I’ve always been around the industry, especially living in Vegas,” she said. “A lot of my friends are dancers. I know a ton of OnlyFans models, porn stars, too. It’s like everybody does some kind of form of it. So, as a businessperson and a model, I was interested in the industry. I was standing at its edge, looking for a strategic way to enter, not go in blindly.”
Sky approaches the industry with a business mindset, building her brand thoughtfully, step by step.
“Performers have a lot of power in this industry—you just have to be sure of what you want to do, because you can’t take it back,” she said. “I like to do things that resonate with my image, and I value the bond I have with my fans.”
Bree Sky VR launched in April, maintaining the same focus on connection and intimacy that has defined her career and carries into ThirstChat. It debuted with 11 scenes, marking her first foray into mainstream adult. For Sky, virtual reality was the next step in building her brand, offering greater creative control and deeper audience engagement.
“I love producing VR and being in control of what it looks like,” she said.
Perhaps the biggest lesson Sky has learned in her burgeoning career is that relationships matter—whether they’re personal, transactional, or professional.
“Don’t ever be afraid to ask questions—especially if you’re going into mainstream,” she advised. “There’s a lot of fun, nice people willing to help.”
