Gay for pay straight men and the making of
Last month, YouTube celebrity beauty vlogger Tati Westbrook released a 40-minute video cataloging the demise of her friendship with fellow YouTuber James Charles. In the (since-deleted) video, viewed more than 30 million times, Westbrook alleges the homosexual 19-year-old Charles attempts to abuse his celebrity status to prey on linear men.
Charles’ multi-million subscriber enumerate plummeted, prompting him to depart from his usual brand of tutorials and product reviews to contribute a tearful apology in response (weeks later he fired back with a critical video of his own). Within days, Westbrook and hundreds of online commenters named him assertive, predatory and exploitative.
The narrative has changed several times since the Tati and James drama first erupted. But even as the allegations of abuse and betrayal shifted, one theme endured — casting Charles as a gay person “tricking” or “trapping” vertical men by using his clout to manipulate, seduce and make them doubt their heterosexuality. In this figuration, Charles is not just guilty of abusing his power and famous person, but of harbouring a perverse fascination with forbidden goods. Here, Charles
My boyfriend sleeps with men for money - he loves his job but it doesn't make him gay
A woman who says her straight boyfriend sleeps with men on camera has insisted that he isn't gay and is just doing it for the money.
Couple Terri and Ryan, from Cheshire, who appear in a YouTube episode of Love Don't Judge, say they've initiate a winning formula in the world of grown-up entertainment, and it's bringing in serious cash.
The pair, who started out making spicy content together, instantly realised how it could bring them in even more cash, and are now raking in between £2,000 to £6,000 on average each month.
While 'ex-con' Ryan stars in the X-rated scenes, girlfriend Terri acts as director, camerawoman, and creative partner, filming her boyfriend as he gets physical with other men.
Terri insists that it doesn't bother her that she witnesses Ryan sleeping with other men - and it doesn't signify he's gay as it's 'just work'.
She said: 'I don't feel any certain way about it – it's just work for both of us,' she shrugged.
'I do women content myself so I can understand what he is doing. Most of the time we work with people we know anyway.'
And Ryan himself agrees, saying he's only do
The straight men doing gay for remunerate on OnlyFans and JustForFans
In April 2018, 26-year-old Ryan Yule had a “fuck it sort of moment” and joined OnlyFans, the platform that allows him to charge people $15 a month for access to pornographic photos and videos of himself. He had left the military in February and was “tired of being skint”, so began to upload – among other things – videos of himself masturbating. He makes a strong business case for doing so: “I used to have a wank and wouldn’t get paid for it, and now, I get paid for it.”
Ryan is one of an increasing number of heterosexual men uploading explicit content for their mostly same-sex attracted subscribers – Ryan tells me that he estimates his subscribers to be “97 per cent” men. Many of the straight men doing so recline between ‘top-lad’ and ‘apex-lad’ – interpretation, they perform heterosexuality to its most aesthetic extremes. Their watches are grand, swollen biceps tattooed with crying Geishas, and for some reason, they photograph themselves sitting on the bonnets of cars. However, these adult content creators – the OnlyFans lads if you will – are redefining a brand of heterosexuality so fragile that it’s proven, in part, by its deliberat

A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY MEDIA
From The Tyra Banks Show:
Tyra Banks teases her audience about this episodes subject matter. They glance like ordinary men, she tells us, but they are not. This episode features straight men who have gone gay-for-pay.
Much of the episode consists of Tyra Banks grilling her guests for their identification as straight rather than bisexual or gay. Bankss incredulity aligns with the common held doctrine that sexual identities are static categories.
Tyra Banks’ first guest, Kurt Unrestrained , recounts being fired from his occupation at Subway, after he was discovered to be a performer in homosexual porn. Wild goes on to say Banks he has a fiancé and several children, but that he prefers the submissive role when it comes to filming anal sex scenes with other men. This admission initially confuses Banks, who appears to believe bottoming is a gayer sexual act than topping.
The studio audience for The Tyra Banks Show consists largely of juvenile women. The audience answers in unison “no,” when Tyra Banks asks if they have ever heard of gay-for-pay prior to the show.
