OnlyFans model Ari Kytsya recently reportedly gave a lecture at the University of Washington. She spoke to a Psych 201 class of students about human sexuality, her online presence, and adult content creation. News of Kytsya’s lecture ignited a variety of fan reactions. Some couldn’t believe a university invited an OF model to give a lecture.
Ari Kytsya reportedly called out for speaking to students at University
OnlyFans‘ Ari Kytsya was invited to the University of Washington to give a lecture on “Surviving Digital Economies, Performing an Online Persona, and Psychological Implications for Sexualized Public Spaces.” She addressed a Psych 201 class taught by Dr. Nicole K. McNichols and talked about sexuality, labor, and realities of a digital landscape.
Kytsya shared a reel of her lecture on TikTok. “What could a bop possibly teach a University class?” She asked in the video. “A different perspective than your own…” In the caption, she asked her followers whether she should upload clips from her lecture.
Kytsya giving a lecture at the university, let alone interacting with students, sparked criticism. “America’s education system is cooked if this is what passes for higher learning,” a user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Other countries are inventing robots and curing diseases while we turning Psych 201 into a guest feature from an OF model.”
“Imagine paying a college tuition and they invited a OF girl,” one user commented.
However, one user defended the University’s decision to invite Kytsya. “Lmao why do people think learning is limited to textbooks,” they wrote. “You can learn something from anyone.”
The online atmosphere was filled with criticism. However, the audience who attended the lecture was reportedly “curious, interested, and in some instances, strangely thoughtful,” according to a student (via Where Is The Buzz).
Moreover, one student claimed that Kytsya’s appearance wasn’t a “spectacle.” “It seemed like it was a class trying to figure out what’s going on with sex and social media,” they added.
Notably, McNichols shared a reel documenting Kytsya’s class. In the caption, the Psychology professor acknowledged that the influencer sparked mixed reactions but praised her for honestly discussing her life, career, success, relationship with Yung Gravy, and how her work contrasted with mainstream adult content.
The professor also expressed gratitude to Kytsya for sharing her story. She added, “Conversations like this expand empathy, challenge assumptions, and remind us that sexuality, relationships, and labor are always more complex, human, and nuanced than the stereotypes we inherit.”
