The Early “Straight Bro” Phase
Early material leaned hard into the classic setup that sells well to a mixed audience: athletic, tattooed, conventionally masculine guy presenting as straight or bi-curious. Scenes with friends like Leo Levine on Bait Buddies framed the two as buddies who shared girls, got comfortable living together, and then, after a planned female scene fell through, settled for mutual jerking, ass play, and cumshots. The marketing sold the “we’re not gay, we’re just horny and the money’s good” fantasy.
That phase expanded into longer buddy-jerk and group stroke sessions with names like Drake Von. These clips stayed in the gray zone many straight-identifying creators use: heavy homoerotic heat without (or before) full anal penetration between the men.
The Move Into Explicit Gay Content and Bottoming
The content did not stay in that gray zone. Subsequent videos show Braxton both topping and, increasingly, bottoming in bareback scenes. Clips circulating include him taking partners such as TitanX (BBC/POV breeding-style), Angelo Sin, Bryan Wood, Ace Carter, Ruggery Valdivia, and others. Flip-fucks, group situations, and dedicated bottoming videos became a visible part of the output. He has publicly promoted “first ever top and bottom” material and continued releasing full gay collabs.
In a 2026 interview with his girlfriend Madison Gatanis (also in adult content), Braxton stated he had stopped focusing on women on OnlyFans and switched his main effort to guy-on-guy collabs. He described the male sessions as “bro out” time and noted that her presence would disrupt that dynamic. On the orientation question he was more fluid, saying he doesn’t really have a fixed sexuality and that it could be the money or the guys that turn him on.
The Financial Incentives: Why the Switch Makes Sense on Paper
Braxton’s own words cut to the core: “Straight creators don’t make a lot of money. If you’re a gay
creator, you make way more money, but if you’re a gay creator and you like it, you make way more money.” He has claimed top 0.01% status on OnlyFans and built a large Instagram following (reported over 200k at one point).Industry patterns back up the math for many male creators:
- The primary paying audience for male OnlyFans content is overwhelmingly other men—commonly reported in the 90–97% range for many accounts, regardless of the creator’s stated orientation. Straight women do subscribe in smaller numbers, but the consistent, high-spending fans who buy PPV, customs, and chat are predominantly gay and bi men.
- Multiple agency and analytics reports put gay/bi-oriented male creators at roughly 2.5 times the earnings of straight-leaning counterparts. Gay male content also tends to show stronger retention, higher tipping, and better conversion on customs and pay-per-view.
- Realistic monthly ranges cited across management firms and creator data for dedicated gay male niches often sit higher than generic “hot guy / fitness” pages. Established gay-focused creators are frequently discussed in the $8,000–$40,000 range once they have an archive and consistent promotion, with top performers going higher. Generic fitness or straight-tease pages more commonly land in the lower thousands.
- Traditional studio gay-for-pay has long paid a premium for the same reason. Historical reports put male rates for gay scenes significantly above comparable straight scenes (sometimes double or triple, with older figures of $1,500+ versus a few hundred dollars, or full-day/weekend rates in the thousands). The “straight guy doing gay stuff” fantasy itself has commercial value.
On the platform side, OnlyFans takes 20%. The remaining 80% is heavily driven by direct messages, PPV unlocks, and tips rather than base subscriptions alone. Creators who lean into the audience that actually spends—and who are willing to produce the explicit material that audience wants—capture more of that spend. Braxton’s page has run frequent deep discounts (tracked in the low single digits at times against a higher list price) while maintaining an active upload schedule and a large library of photos and videos, a common high-volume approach in the male gay niche.
The Broader Pattern
This is not an isolated story. “Gay for pay” has existed for decades precisely because the demand and willingness to pay in the gay male market have historically outstripped the straight male performer market. OnlyFans simply made the same economics more accessible and more continuous: instead of occasional studio days, a creator can post solo, collabs, customs, and chat year-round. The progressive steps Braxton took—straight/bi framing → buddy jerking → full penetration and bottoming—mirror a path many others have followed when the data showed where the revenue concentrated.
I personally believe Braxton really likes being with guys but whether the personal enjoyment matched the financial upside is something only he can answer. What is public is the content progression and the consistent industry observation that, for male creators, the gay-leaning market tends to pay better and more reliably than trying to sell primarily to women. Braxton’s output and his own comments put him squarely in that lane.
