People are in a debate over whether or not one controversial act counts as cheating.

In today’s digital age, the boundaries of fidelity are becoming increasingly blurred.

As technology reshapes the way we connect and interact, a new form of relationship betrayal is sparking debate.

One young woman’s decision to end her relationship has reignited national conversations about trust, boundaries, and what truly counts as cheating in the modern world.

A young woman from Perth, Australia, ended her relationship after discovering that her boyfriend had secretly subscribed to a popular OFs creator.

For the 20-year-old, this act was a clear betrayal, akin to cheating, and she’s not alone in her belief.

The woman who ended her relationship, Maddi Miller, is an OFs creator herself and earns around $30,000 a month from her work.

Despite being a part of the industry, the content creator maintains clear personal boundaries.

Miller told News.com.au: “Trust is so important, which is why I had to end it with an ex after I caught him looking at naked photos of other women while in bed with me.”

She stressed that it wasn’t the content itself that was the issue, but rather the secrecy and betrayal involved.

“If my ex had maybe asked to watch some content together, or he had expressed that he was curious, then we could have had a conversation about it… But the fact that he was deliberately looking at p*** created by people I knew was not okay,” Miller explained.

“It was a huge breach of my trust… It’s the same thing. It’s betrayal.”

Miller discovered the subscriptions by noticing activity on her boyfriend’s phone. Despite his initial attempts to deny it, her investigation revealed he had subscribed to multiple creators, some of whom she personally knew.

The discovery was not only shocking but deeply hurtful, leaving lasting effects on the OFs star’s trust in future relationships.

The data from News.com.au shows that women are significantly more likely than men to consider OFs subscriptions cheating.

About 61.3% of women surveyed said it’s definitely cheating, compared to 46.1% of men who believed it depends on the interaction.

According to recent findings from News.com.au, a growing number of Australians view subscribing to explicit content on platforms like OFs as a breach of relationship boundaries.

The survey, which gathered insights from over 54,000 participants, covered a wide range of contemporary issues, including attitudes toward adult subscription services.

The results revealed that 50% of respondents believe it is ‘definitely’ cheating if a partner subscribes to adult content.

Content creator and founder of the talent agency Million Billion Media, Lucy Banks, is one of the 42% that feel it ‘depends on the type of interactions’ involved.

She explained: “Society and relationships have evolved… the level of transparency, emotional intelligence, and communication required to maintain a healthy relationship is now much higher.

“Is it cheating if your partner subscribes to someone on OFs? It really depends on the relationship.”
