Sweden Criminalizes Purchases of Custom Online Sexual Content Under Nordic Model

  • On May 20, 2025, Sweden's parliament enacted a law criminalizing payments made to individuals in exchange for performing sexual acts through online platforms, including services like OnlyFans.
  • The law extends Sweden's Nordic Model, which criminalizes buyers of sex but not sellers, to cover live, personalized digital sexual content.
  • The legislation makes it illegal to pay individuals to engage in sexual activities on demand through remote means, while still permitting payment for viewing unsolicited prerecorded or live sexual content.
  • Social Democrat MP Sanna Backeskog described the issue as "digitalized prostitution" with blurred lines between pornography and trafficking, while OnlyFans stated it complies with all laws.
  • The law, effective July 1, 2025, may challenge sex workers’ livelihoods and police enforcement but aims to protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation online.
