Ever wondered how to take your homemade gay porn game next-level? Let’s be real – there’s a lot of competition out there. The explosion in fan-subscription channels and a breaking down of some of the taboos around sharing sexy photos online means that the internet is full of sexy, high-quality videos showcasing hot guys enjoying each other’s bodies.
How can you create your own high-quality fuck-vids without investing in expensive gear or hiring a production crew? We’ve got some handy tips to help you get some attention.
What Qualifies As Gay Homemade Porn?
This used to be a lot easier to define – there used to be studio porn or home-made porn. Studio porn was defined by high-quality audio-visual production, whereas home-made was amateur action with amateur quality.
But the boundaries have definitely become increasingly blurred. The democratisation of technology has made it easier to get your hands on audio-visual equipment that can capture your home-made action with studio-level quality – whether that’s you just jacking off alone or with two or more gay men. We’ve all had to learn about lighting and editing – whatever content you’re producing, your audience has fairly high expectations if you want to keep them as a loyal subscriber. So, when it comes to defining homemade porn, quality of production is no longer the main differentiator.
In today’s adult entertainment landscape, what generally separates homemade gay porn from mainstream or studio-led productions is that homemade porn should have a sense of authenticity. There should be a sense of intimacy that lets the viewer feel that they’re watching something real – something that meant something to the people on-screen.
Why Should I Make More Amateur Homemade Gay Porn?
How are people going to find naked photos of you on the internet unless you put them there? Seriously, whatever age you are, you’re always going to look back at your younger self and think: “Fuck I looked good – I should have taken more naked photos!”
If you need more reasons than that, let’s break it down:
Representation matters
Making amateur homemade content delivers more diverse representation within the gay porn industry. As our guest writer Jordan Jameson put it, mainstream productions often feature a narrow range of body types and models of masculinity. In contrast, homemade content can showcase a broader range of experiences and individuals – creating more opportunities for all types of guys to get naked.
Control is empowering
If you’re creating your own content, you have the final say as to what gets filmed and shared with the world. You get to decide how you showcase yourself and your sexuality.
Connect with other content creators
There’s a whole creative community that is out there creating content. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you can tap into this online network for advice, support, and encouragement.
It could be the start of something big
If you want to build a career in the adult entertainment industry, creating a portfolio of your amateur work is a good starting point. Whether you want to work in front of or behind the camera, some engaging amateur content is the perfect way to demonstrate what you’re capable of and land some work with big-name gay studio productions.
It doesn’t have to be about the money
Sure, there’s a range of fan-subscription platforms that enable you to monetise your content, but lots of guys just like sharing stuff for the fun of it. At Squirt.org, we make sharing your gay videos for free super-easy. There’s a ready-made audience at Squirt eager to see whatever you feel like posting.
Should I record my amateur porn video in 1080p at 60fps?
Quality is important but higher-quality video takes up more storage space, may take longer to upload, and may not necessarily lead to a significant increase in subscribers.
On Twitter, @sexworkCEO suggests that to record the best porn at home on your iPhone, you should record video in 1080p at 60fps and enable “Prioritize faster shooting, Lens correction and Macro control.”
How Can I Ensure My Gay Fuck Videos Look Great?
We’ve previously explored how to take hot cock pics and great ass photos, but here are some additional things to consider when you shoot your content:
Lighting and Camera Tricks
Investing in some basic lighting equipment can make a massive difference in the quality of your footage, allowing you to create a more cinematic and professional feel.
Natural lighting is always a safe bet, but affordable, adjustable LED lights work if you’re shooting indoors.
Experimenting with camera angles and positions can add depth and variety to your content.
Positions and Props
Another way to enhance your homemade gay porn is by experimenting with different positions and props – trying out different positions, gay sex toys, and props can also add visual interest to your content.
Why Should I Create an OnlyFans?
If you’re looking for ways to monetise the content you’re creating, a fan-subscription platform such as OnlyFans makes that process fairly straightforward.
There are a number of different fan-subscription platforms out there, so it’s worth doing a bit of research to compare the options and find what’s best for you.
A platform such as OnlyFans makes the process of uploading and managing your content fairly easy, and also takes care of all the payment requirements from your subscribers. However, the platform that you choose will take a commission from your subscriber revenue, and you will also have to abide by their terms and conditions – this will include some limitations on the type of content that you’re able to upload.
If you’re using a platform such as OnlyFans, you’ll still need to think about how to market your content and engage with your target audience. You’ve got to be persistent, consistent, and have a strong social media game in order to make the fan-subscription business work for you.
How Can I Make the Best Gay OnlyFans?
There’s no silver-bullet solution to this, you’ve got to figure out what works for you.
In basic marketing terms, you’ve got to figure out what is your USP – your unique selling point. There’s a lot of guys out there making a lot of content – what makes yours the content that people will want to subscribe to?
Focusing on a specific niche of content is one way to differentiate yourself and connect with your target audience. Maybe you want to showcase your fetish or a kink such as gay bondage – be aware that the fan-subscription platform may limit fetish or kink content, so do some research before launching into this.
Make your content exclusive to your fan-subscription channel. You’ve got to give your subscribers something that they can’t get anywhere else. Maybe it’s behind-the-scenes footage, custom videos, or personalised messages. You need to demonstrate to your subscribers that you’re giving them something of value.
Look at what’s working for content creators that are similar to you. Some performers will have a free OnlyFans and then have a pay-per-view option for premium content. Learn from the experience of guys that have been in the game longer than you have.
Be consistent but keep it interesting. One of the biggest challenges with the fan-subscription business model is subscriber churn – how do you keep your subscribers engaged so that they don’t cancel their subscription? You need to be publishing new content on a regular basis, but you also need to keep it interesting for your subscribers – if every video you post feels the same, it’s hard to retain the interest of your audience.
You have to actively promote your content and yourself. Being active on social media is pretty much essential – you’re building a brand and the brand is you. Collaborations with other content creators is a useful way to get yourself in front of new viewers and amplify your work.
Don’t try to be something that you’re not. Authenticity is really powerful – the more that you can be yourself on camera, the more confident and comfortable you’ll be and the more your audience will connect with you and the content that you’re creating.
There’s a little bit of porn star in all gay men. When it comes to sex, men are visual. Good suggestions here to make those videos even more memorable.
Excellent article, this gave me the push to video my sexual encounters again!
Thanks for the tips – I’ll try getting the lighting better, but I’m usually enjoying myself far too much to think about it. It’s a lovely idea that other men will get off on watching me being taken and sucking other guys-makes me super horny😋
