OF - do you find it kinda disturbing?
-
So I follow a lot of pornstars on twitter, and of course I see what I see on this site.
what i'm noticing is alot of the popular guys on OF and JFF (ie Max Konnor, Rhyheim, Cade Maddox, Austin Wolfe) who have pretty much ran through all the hot guys are now starting to do videos with very... VERY.... young looking BOYS. and I just find that a little disturbing.Sure they probably are 18+ but it still rubs me the wrong way because they LOOK like kids... and I almost feel like the "attraction" is the simple fact that they look underage!?
I know Rhyheim had a situation that nobody really talks about, where he was exposed for sort of "grooming" a 16 year old.
Bottom line, I don't like it!
What are your feelings on it?I feel like that whole Brent Corrigan situation is going to repeat itself very soon.

At the end of the day, if they're 18+ then I don't think there's a problem and some of the twinks are stunningly beautiful (hexcutie for example). They're of age to fully consent, so maybe we should just be grateful that we can see such beauty so intimately!
However, I think you have a point in terms of unintended consequences. If a super cute 20 year old makes a million dollars after tax from their OF career over a few years, and sensibly invests it in a house + world stock portfolio + education, I guess you could argue it's set them up very well and it's a great thing for them.
The problem is the 20 year olds who only make $40,000 from their entire OF career and have to go through the next 10-15 years fielding questions about their past porn acting and potentially being limited in choice of future career (education will be a difficult field to enter, for example). For the less successful OF stars, it may end up being a bad decision to put themselves out like that.

I"ve taught from Year 8 (US 7th grade, 12 years old) through university level, and I've found that it can be very difficult to judge a lad's age by his appearance. I've known guys who were 15 that looked 20, as well as the reverse. The "age estimation by looks" factor isn't helped by film and television that generally cast guys who are five to eight years older than the character they are playing.
It's best to be quite cautious about what porn one downloads and keeps...most countries have very strict--and understandable--laws about such things. And, the laws can seem inconsistent: In several states in the US, the age of consent for sex is 15...but having a photo of that sex partner's genitalia is a US federal crime unless s/he's 18 or older.
Trader42 is spot on regarding the maturity needed to make a decision to go into porn, and how to spend money that comes from it. Very few 20-year-olds have the ability to manage newly-gained wealth of £10,000,
They also may not consider the consequences of having that on their CV: I have a (gay) neighbour who was desperate for money whilst in law school, so at age 25 did a solo photo shoot that is rather vanilla by today's standards--he was nude, had an erection, but did not masturbate or ejaculate. Now, 25 years later, he's still terrified that someone will find those photos online (they've got to be somewhere), recognise him, and damage his career. (I think he can relax now: He showed me the pictures, and he doesn't look like that anymore!)

That's the sad part. But seriously, they made the decision a long time ago. While I sympathize, they should just "own" it if it ever showed up.
It's already out there.
Being paranoid about it will give blackmailers and detractors leverage.
Kinda like going "tell all".
You're not the same person 10 years - 20 years ago.
As for these "kids" doing OF, even naked videos on Tiktok, since they're bent on acting "adult" their decision is on them especially future consequences.
