A former librarian who ditched books for sex work has revealed the weirdest requests she has received from her 'submissive' male clients.
Lindy Myles, 36, from Oklahoma, volunteered in libraries as a teenager and continued to work in them for 12 years as an adult, even completing a Masters in Library Science.
But soon the bookworm realised she was 'no longer happy' in the public library sector and decided to take on a 'new challenge'.
Alongside a 9-5 job in marketing she started making X-rated videos.
'I was really just discovering my sexuality,' she told Femail.
'I was leaning into a lot of things that I had never really felt like I could lean into before considering I grew up conservative.'
Remembering how she felt before posting for the first time, Lindy said: 'I was a little bit nervous, but it was also very freeing.
'It just felt very empowering to say: "You know what? I accept my body. I am who I am."'

Lindy opened an OnlyFans account 18 months ago and started with lingerie pictures
It took 10 months for the former librarian to try out more explicit content - and soon she was taking kinky requests from clients.
'I ended up finding a client who really enjoyed giantess and vore content,' Lindy said. Vore refers to the erotic desire to be consumed by, or to personally consume another person.
'I would pretend that I was a giantess and that I was going to eat him and he would enjoy me talking about digesting him in my belly.'
She added: 'He would send me back these little cartoons that he would draw about him being digested and it was really fun.
'He was probably one of my best customers.'
Every time she role-played as a giantess, Lindy would earn between $400 and $500.
She would then charge her client $50 extra for a video of her flushing an empty toilet - 'like I had eliminated him and was sending him away'.
Lindy said that she would create this X-rated content 'anywhere' as it was primarily text-based.
'We were texting while I was shopping at Target,' she said. 'So I just went into the Target bathroom and did it in there.'
Although the self-titled 'fat creator' enjoyed creating explicit content for her clients, she did not like the platform itself.
She said: 'It was difficult to build any sort of following. I didn't feel the platform was supportive of sex workers so I deleted my OnlyFans account in January.'
Now she has turned her attention to MintStars - a sex-positive content platform that encourages creators to work together and promote each other.
She then turned to making more explicit content - including pretending to be a 'giantess' and describing how she would digest her male client
Lindy has two pages on MintStars - one for her dominatrix content and one for her dad jokes
Explaining the switch, Lindy said: 'MintStars feels a lot safer in the sense that they have more security measures to prevent leaks from happening which makes me feel comfortable posting more explicit things.'
Lindy has two pages on MintStars - one dedicated to her 'dom persona' where she sells 'custom content' and one focused on her dad jokes.
Referring to the latter, Lindy said: 'I make videos of me telling dad jokes in the nude because it makes me laugh.
'It's more for me than the people watching - but my subs seems to really enjoy it too.'
The average dad joke video lasts 15 seconds and after posting for just three weeks, she has already made $400.
Asked what her favourite dad joke is, Lindy laughed and said: 'What did the snail say when it was riding on the turtle's back? Weeee!'
Another one of her favourites is: 'It's actually kind of sweet that bicycles can't stand up on their own. They get two tyred.'
Lindy's long-term goal with content creation is to 'really expand' her dad jokes channel.
The ex-librarian said: 'I enjoy the dominatrix content and I enjoy doing dom work in real life but it's also very draining sometimes.
'The dad jokes just fill my soul a little but more - and the world needs a little bit of silliness.'
She said her dad jokes videos are more for her than her subscribers - although they seem to enjoy it too
Before making X-rated content, Lindy said she was 'naive' and 'repressed'
Although her marketing boss does not know about her explicit side gig, Lindy believes that sex work has been 'incredibly empowering and reassuring' for her.
She said: 'It's made a noticeable difference in my overall confidence and ability to tackle criticism and negative feedback.
'It has been one of the most personally invigorating journeys I've been on.
'Before I really hopped in, I was naive. I was very repressed in my sexuality and I had some body issues that I was working through.
'Being in this line of work has really helped me open up and I don't take criticism as personally anymore.
'I feel like I have unlocked myself and a level of acceptance I never had before.'
The former librarian revealed a string of similarities between her time working in libraries and the adult entertainment industry including 'keeping content organised' and 'understanding what people need'.
She said: 'One thing I really learned in libraries is that people will say they need something, and they actually need something else.
'Your job is to figure out what they actually need.
'In content creation, you're doing the same thing.
'A lot of people come in thinking they're into a certain kink and you quickly realise they're not.
'You have to guide them into it and make sure they are getting as much out of it as you are.'
