While there is definitely a market for fan-subscription content that focuses on solo play, creators who are looking to expand their content and audience reach will often collaborate with other guys who are also looking to make some content.
Filming a collaboration with another fan-subscription content creator adds an additional layer of logistics to your production process. Let’s take a look at some of the factors that you’ll probably want to consider.
How do I identify the OnlyFans’ gay creators with whom to collaborate?
In some ways, this depends on where you’re at in terms of building your fan subscription career. For example, if you’re an established creator with a large audience, you’ll probably have a clear brand and aesthetic that you want to maintain.
If you’re known for creating content for a gay fetish or kink audience, then you need to work with guys who can deliver on that vibe.
Equally, if you’re creating gay roleplay content, then you’ll be casting for specific roles, and you need performers who can bring those characters to life.
If you’re just starting out, it can be a bit harder to know which collaborations will work best for – especially if you’re still figuring out what style of content is going to appeal most to your target audience.
You often see reports of people being quite mercenary in their pursuit of which content creators that they’ll film collaborations with. For example, you might hear that someone will only film with you if you have more than x-number of followers.
While there is some logic to that – if your objective is to leverage the audience of the guys that you film with – however it’s a bit short-term and transactional.
A better starting point is perhaps to set yourself an objective of trying to make content that really connects with and engages with the audience that you want to build.
Or, if you’re an “ingenue” in the industry, it’s not a bad idea to work with other new, hot guys who are committed to rising up in the industry like you are; the pressure is then off to perform for a big star with big clout and the two (or three) of you can then just have some good old pants-on fun that viewers will love.
In general, that comes down to filming with guys that you really connect with, that you can perform well with on camera. You want to create content that feels authentic because it’s that authenticity that will primarily be what turns your viewers on and keeps them coming back for more.
While booking in filming sessions based on connection is a great starting point, there are also the logistics of the shoot to contend with as well.
You both need to be available in the same place, at the same time. You also want to shoot with guys who are professional – this is a business and you need to be able to work with people who turn up on time, get the job done, and are easy to work with. After all, even though you’re fucking on film, porn is a job.
Word-of-mouth is really powerful in this industry. You’ll frequently hear about guys that are good to work with and which guys are best avoided.
If you haven’t met a guy before and you’ve started DMing about a potential filming collaboration, schedule a video call and start building the rapport that you’ll need in order to film an engaging scene together. If it’s difficult to pin them down to chat over a video call, then that’s a clear sign that they may not be the kind of filming collaborator that you’re looking for.
Where should I search to find gay porn influencers who may want to collaborate with me?
Guys that are creating content for fan-subscription channels will be actively marketing themselves and the scenes that they’ve filmed. The easiest place for content creators to market themselves is on X/Twitter – because there’s less restrictions about sharing adult content.
Beyond Twitter, you’ll also find content-creators promoting themselves on Instagram and TikTok, although it may be harder to get a clear sense of what style of explicit content they create due to the restrictions in place on those platforms.
Because filming collaborations has become such a key part of fan-subscription content, creators will often update their X/Twitter bios with their travel plans – so you can see if a creator is planning to visit your city, giving you a prompt to hit them up to see if they want to film with you.
Creators will also often post on their social media which city they’ll be in next and asking for suggestions as to who they should film with.
Don’t be shy – reach out and let people know that you’re available. You may not get a response, or they may already be booked up, but on the other hand you could be exactly what they’re looking for.
Like any business enterprise or hustle, networking is key.
Spending time in porn-star hot-spots such as Puerto Vallarta or Barcelona is an easy way to start to meet people. Also, attending industry events such as the GayVN Awards or XBiz Awards helps you to build relationships and put yourself out there as someone who is available to film.
You can also be quite strategic in your search. Do some research and build a target list of creators that you want to collaborate with. Follow them on social media, reach out to them to start a conversation, and look for opportunities to meet up and develop a working relationship. If you’re series about being a content-creator then you need to treat it like a business and put the work in to making it a success.
What Gay XXX Porn Content Should We Film Once We Get to Work?
At a very basic level, a collaboration could be as simple as filming you having sex with the other content-creator.
There’s nothing wrong with that, and the more you can boost your production quality – in terms of camera angles, lighting, sound, editing – then the more engaging the scene is going to be to your target audience. While it’s not essential to invest in great OnlyFans camera equipment, it will elevate the content that you create.
Before filming, try and articulate to yourself about why this scene is going to be something that people will want to watch – and then do your best to deliver that.
For example, if this scene is a gay jock roleplay think about how you’re going to bring that roleplay to life in a really engaging way. Or maybe the guy that you’re filming with has been hitting the gym hard, so maybe it could be a muscle-worship vibe and you oil him up and explore his body for the camera. Setting an intention for the scene is the essential thing – be clear about what you are trying to film and why people will want to watch that.
What should I do to promote the XXX porn collab once done?
Real-talk, the way that you promote your content is in many ways more important than actually filming the content.
It doesn’t matter how great the scene is that you’ve filmed if no one knows that it exists.
When you’re planning to film a collaboration with a fellow content-creator, it’s really helpful to have discussed marketing and promotion before you film.
Ideally, you want your scene-partner to help promote the scene. Having some level of coordination in the way that you both promote the scene can maximise the impact of your efforts.
Your promotion plan will also shape what content you film on the day. For example, you’re going to be looking for clips that you can use to tease the scene’s release. Adding to the complexity of that is that you’ll need different types of content for different platforms – for example, what you post on X/Twitter won’t necessarily work for Instagram and you’ll probably need something different for TikTok.
Filming behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, bloopers, and the latest dance trend are all things you need to think about before you actually get together and the cameras start rolling.
You need to think about each scene that you produce as a movie release – you’ve got to create the buzz and excitement before it comes out, you need to let everyone know when it’s available, and then you need to keep that enthusiasm going to get as many people as possible to watch it.
Being a content-creator for fan-subscription channels requires some serious marketing!

Now, How do I get paid with a gay OnlyFans Collab?
If you’re planning a collaboration with a fellow content creator, having an upfront conversation about money may not be sexy but it is essential.
Fan-subscription platforms such as OnlyFans generally aren’t particularly sophisticated when it comes to revenue-sharing between performers.
The simplest way is if you both get a copy of the final edit that you can each upload to your channel – that way, you each keep the revenue that you generate directly from your subscribers.
However, if one of you wants to retain exclusivity over the scene, then you need to talk about how the money side of things is going to work.
Here are some options:
Direct Payment Splits
You have an upfront agreement on splitting the revenue generated by a scene – it could be 50/50 or 75/25 or any variation of that. One person collects the revenue and then transfers the other person’s share to them via a payment method such as PayPal, Venmo, or bank transfer.
Affiliate Links
To incentivise your scene partner to promote what you’ve filmed, you could create an affiliate link that generates revenue from any new subscribers.
Pay-Per-View (PPV) Content
Marking the scene that you’ve filmed as “premium” content makes it easier to track the revenue that has been generated from that specific collaboration.
Tip Goals
Using the Tip function on fan-subscription platforms is a simple way to generate revenue that can be split between you and your scene-partner.
Third-Party Agreements
Formal legal agreements can be used to document the agreed revenue-sharing arrangements.
This may seem a bit over-the-top but big-name creators are generating significant amounts of revenue so it makes sense to have everything written down so that there’s no confusion about how your collaboration is going to work.
We’re not here to give you legal advice, but we have got a basic template of what a revenue-sharing agreement could look like.
You should probably talk to a lawyer to ensure that it covers everything required for the legal framework that applies where you live, but this will give you a flavour for the kind of things that you need to discuss and agree when talking revenue-sharing with a fellow content creator.
