Local Heroes: The Gay Stars of Xtube

Bonsly Darmanitan checks out some of XTube’s most prolific amateur porn makers

Founded in 2006, Xtube.com was the very first video hosting service that allowed users to share amateur adult video content on the web. After Xtube, many other Tube sites were launched. However, Xtube still remains one of the most recognized and receives millions of unique visits every day. Users who share videos on XTube can also choose to sell them, with the site taking a 50% cut of the sales.

Over the years, Xtube has proven itself to be a good launching ground for new adult industry talent. Most recently, Bravo Delta’s Xtube videos were viewed more than 2.5 million times, which led to Bravo being signed as an exclusive at CockyBoys.com. Before Bravo, the videos by Hunter and Cole (aka Maverick Men) were viewed over 2.2 million times. In that  case, Xtube fame led to the launch of MaverickMen.com and a book about their lives. This month we’ll take a look at some of the most popular and prolific Xtube models, and then offer some advice for aspiring Xtube stars.

BECOMING AN XTUBE STAR
If you want to become the next Xtube star, you can start by figuring out what exactly Xtube viewers want to see. Luckily, that’s easy. Just check out the site’s Most Viewed, Best Rated, Most Discussed, and Top Favorites categories. One of the most popular themes on Xtube is bareback sex. Public sex is another big crowd pleaser, whether it’s in the form of public sex stunts or gloryhole and understall footage. Solo jerkoff videos have always been an Xtube staple, but the ones getting the most attention generally offer something unique. For instance, one solo video currently peaking in the Best Rated chart features a guy who cums three times in just five minutes. One of the Most Discussed solos from CoreyDMG features a strikingly handsome guy whose face is clearly shown. Other things that have helped to make solo clips popular include self-sucking, guys shooting onto their own faces, guys jerking off in cars, guys talking dirty or being very vocal, etc. If you want your solo videos to get noticed, try to think beyond the torso-only jerkoff clips.
