A new analysis of 2025 spending finds Oklahoma residents paid nearly $30 million in subscriptions to creator platform OnlyFans, highlighting pockets of unusually high per-capita activity even as the state sits near the middle nationally. The figures, drawn from a study by the search and analytics site OnlyGuider, sharpen questions about consumer behavior, local demand for subscription content and how state rules are reshaping access.
OnlyGuider estimated regional OnlyFans spending by combining search traffic, public financial data and population figures to model consumer outlay across U.S. cities and counties. The report places U.S. household spending on the platform at about $2.6 billion for 2025, with OnlyFans retaining roughly 20% of creators’ subscription revenue as its fee.
For Oklahoma, the analysis shows total spending of roughly $29.5 million in 2025. That puts the state at about 28th out of the 50 states and Washington, D.C., in absolute dollars, while the per-capita measure — reported as spending per 10,000 residents — ranks Oklahoma around the mid-30s, at about $72,175 per 10,000 people.

City and county patterns
At the city level, Oklahoma City accounts for the largest share of the state’s billed subscriptions, followed by Tulsa and several university and regional centers. Per-capita figures tell a slightly different story, with some smaller communities showing higher intensity of spending relative to population.
| City | Total spent | Per 10,000 residents |
|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma City | $7.3 million | $107,293 |
| Tulsa | $2.8 million | $60,459 |
| Norman | $909,000 | $74,252 |
| Lawton | $812,000 | $89,582 |
| Broken Arrow | $795,000 | $70,360 |
When counties are adjusted for population, the map shifts again. McCurtain County registers the highest per-capita spending in the state at about $103,887 per 10,000 residents. Other rural counties also appear near the top of the per-capita list, while larger counties like Oklahoma and Tulsa lead on total dollars.
| County | Total spent | Per 10,000 residents |
|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma County | $8.1 million | $97,590 |
| Tulsa County | $4.4 million | $— |
| Cleveland County | $1.9 million | $— |
| McCurtain County | $— | $103,887 |
| Coal County | $— | $101,094 |
What these numbers mean
The data point to concentrated demand in metropolitan centers alongside surprising intensity in some rural counties. That pattern can influence how local businesses, public services and policymakers think about digital commerce and privacy protections.
- Higher totals in urban counties reflect larger populations and more subscribers overall.
- Elevated per-capita spending in smaller counties suggests niche consumer behavior that is amplified when scaled to a small population base.
- Where and how residents spend on subscription platforms can shape discussions about data privacy, payment processing and local enforcement of online-age restrictions.
State law altered access to some sites
These spending patterns arrive after Oklahoma enacted new age-verification rules in 2024. Under Senate Bill 1959, sites distributing adult content are required to confirm users’ ages — a mandate that raised immediate privacy concerns and logistical challenges for some platforms.
In response, Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, restricted access for Oklahoma users late in 2024, citing worries about how age checks might expose personal information. Supporters of the law framed it as a measure to protect minors; critics said it risks chilling lawful adult access and handing sensitive data to third parties.
The OnlyGuider findings and the ongoing policy debate illustrate a larger tension: as states try to regulate online adult-content access, consumer spending and platform behavior shift in ways that policymakers and researchers are only beginning to track.
For readers, the practical takeaway is simple: digital subscription economies are measurable at local scales, and regulatory changes can quickly reshape both access and behavior. Analysts say these trends will be worth watching as companies respond and as additional data for 2026 become available.
